Speaking of cracking balls......
Three nights ago I went to the storage to look for my elbow brace and to pick up my Blue urethane. Going through the bags, I found my 300 ring from 7 years ago still in mint condition. I shot the 300 in dedication to my father after he passed away a month before.
I told my buddies and the teams on my pair after the front six, "I'm shooting a 3 for my dad"... I didn't realize it caused ppls tears to fall.. That night was special... (my game went down hill for the next 2 years after that night lol)
Anyway, I found my ring and gave it to my 4 year old daughter after I told her the story. I then decided to show her the ball I shot it with. Well the JAZZ from C300 was cracked. From the ring finger all the way around. I was really bummed to find it cracked. If it didn't have meaning behind it, I'd trash it like I did my other balls. V2, Mystic, horizon, power strike, U-turn, phenom, and Eraser all cracked.
Tomorrow I'll go to the PSO and see if he can do something to prevent it from cracking even more. My daughter told me "don't worry dada, you can fix it. it's grandpa's ball."
Never thought a bowling ball would mean so much......
