2 Bowling Balls Just Cracked..
« on: June 23, 2004, 01:18:03 AM »
Well ive had sitting in my room for quite some time a old Track Tritan Heat & a Columbia Rock On.. a few weeks ago i found the heat with a crack, and then today i found my rock on with a crack along the whole ball almost, a big line through it. I wanna know how the HELL it happened?? Can anyone explain this? My room does get really cold but i havent thrown these balls in years and i was actually going to re-drill my rock on.. Thanks guys.. I'm kind of mad about this.

One of the guys at our shop a few years ago had one go off like a grenade.  Must have been an air pocket and temperature combination.

If its been sitting there a few years, then most likely it finally had enough of not getting used!!! lol nah, but since its been there a while its gone through a lot of hot temps and low temps, and when a ball goes through one alone, it can crack it, let alone fluctuation back and forth.
