Just above the serial number. Picture needs to be clicked larger.

How did sandpaper fill it?

The sand filled into the crack, like a bandaid on a cut, i know its gruesome but its the only metaphor i could think of.

I think you are mistaken on how sand paper works.

At any rate, the picture shows the crack to be pretty insignificant and doesn't appear to be in your track anyway. By the very nature of their intended use, bowling balls get scratched and cut.

If that is considered serious, then my balls are all but destroyed lol.  if it isn't on the track, it doesn't matter.  I can shoot 279 at any time with my 10+ year old Vertigo and it isn't exactly in perfect condition.

Bowling balls are going to get banged up. Even if that scratch is in the track, it won't affect anything. Most balls have engraved logos and such that often fall into a player's track - and that scratch looks harmless compared to them. That, or I'm not seeing what you are talking about.

I don't know, man. That looks pretty serious. You might take it to a third pro shop and get another opinion. Go with best 2 out of 3.

You should go get the indentation in your head looked at first.

Take it down w/roughest scotch brite you can find, then throw ball in rejuvenator.  Once completed, total resurface, then repeat all these steps again.  Should help make it less of an indentation than what it is now.

Is a little light in the wallet as my USBC card expired. It is not on my track but may the indentation affect the my revs ?  My revs are very important to me as my tilt is one of the weaker ones.
