I'm throwing a Storm X Factor Reloaded. Balls do not get much better. I think any ball would get torn apart if it hit whatever my ball hit.

I have had this problem with the center I bowl at right now.  The lanes are awful, the oil that is laid down is in puddles and the boards are not flush.  Every week I get new knicks and cuts.  The owner really doesn't know bowling and he really doesn't care what happens to ppls equipment.  So on that note, I hope the center you bowl at has a decent owner and just tell him or her what happened.  As said above they should be nice enough to help u out and if not take it as a lesson and not use good equipment there.  Hope everything works out

take it to their pro shop and make sure they fix it.  i had my hot wire for less than a day, and the ball got stuck in the ball return...it came back with a 1 inch wide, 1/4 inch deep hole right next to my thumb hole.  i refused to leave teh place until they agreed to fix it.  when it was fixed, whoever sanded down the plug ended up making it flat instead of round.  i ended up taking it to my regular driller, and he finally fixed it...so make sure they fix it properly and dont leave till they do!  good luck.
