I've had this ball for about 4years, has well over 150games on it.  was my 300 ball so its kinda hard to jus trash it.  well recently it lost its potential.  so i read up on the hot water method and i wamred it slowly in 30min intervals until i got it up were the water was hot and added dawn.  well b4 i did that i used green scotch bright pad on it to dull it...and now after the hot water extraction, i have a big crack prlly 3inches long from my pin going towards my pap, and my plug by my new thumb hole cracked.  and let alone w/ that, i bowled w/ it and it jus seems dead, it doesnt grab much and rolls super early if at all reminds me of a old urethane ball now..is there any hope for this...i can get pics if ya want..im just lost
