I was trying to sell the ball and I guess the cover at 600 didnt look good, so I picked up to put some polish on it and I noticed this 3 inch crack !

WTF ? The ball anit moved since I took a picture of it a few days ago ? It's been siting in the closet, nothing on top of it or anything ?

You can see in the second pic that just the cover stock is cracked, not the filler. The insert holes are beveled and all. Whats really weird is its a straight line crack...Doesnt that mean a material defect ?

Man this sucks...I bought the ball last Sept and shot my first honer score of the season with it (299).

Is this a common problem with the Bomber Phazed Reactive ?...Now 'm kinda worried about my One and Big One ...

Most important thing a pro shop should do is to take their time drilling into the cores.  All of the Ebonite and Hammer are very dense so a drill bit may warp if drilled to quickly.  If they take their time using sharp bits the percentage of balls cracking will decrease.
