from bowling.com, the World Class Particle and the Black Pearl. The WCP arrived late last week, made me happy with new bowling ball goodness. The BP was backordered, and just arrived yesterday.
Problem is, when I brought it out of the box -- it had a scar on it about 1.25 inches long, .25 inches wide at the widest point, and about 1-2 mm deep. Now some may think that scars are sexy, but I really wanted the first damage done to the ball to be when I had it drilled.
I can't tell where it will fall as far as whether it will be out of the way when I put the ball on the lane, or whether it will be right in the middle of the roll path. I sent an email to the support link on their website, because the only damage to the box was that the lid had been half torn off, but the inside ball-sling and all accessories were in perfect shape -- which leads me to believe that the ball may have left LM in that condition.
I'm a bit leery of doing an rma on the ball, simply because of the hassle I've gotten from other companies for other types of equipment. Plus, both 14 and 15 pound BP's are on backorder for bowling.com, so I'd wind up waiting either way
Haven't heard back from LM, but since they're West Coast, and I'm East Coast -- I wasn't expecting to get a reply until maybe tomorrow. Anyone out there had to work w/LM on RMA's, or have any advice?
