I just received a ball that has a cracked bridge, the rest of the ball is in great shape, if I dont have this repaired will it hurt the performance of the ball. It is just a hairline crack, and I really dont want to plug it.

Nah just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse Iw ould have it fixed. I have a Break Pearl that has a small crack around the ring finger and it has been fine all year.

Sometimes bridge cracks will expand to go all the way around the ball. Whether or not to do something about it depends on how valuable the ball is to you, if you don't mind the chance of losing it leave it as is. -- JohnP

Go to the hardware store and buy an epoxy kit, pour some on, let dry and sand.
Cracked bridges seldom cause a ball to crack all the way around.

Had an old ball that the bridge cracked about two weeks after I bought it. I decided not to fix it unless it cracked out badly.

Three years later, I sold the ball. It had over 100 games on it and the crack never got any worse.
