hi mv,

yes, it is repairable, but it will alter the "look" of the ball.  
unfortunately, even clear plugging it will leave the "outer lines"
of where the repair work was done.

in my shop, most of my customers have opted to have the ball repaired,
rather than purchase a new ball.

i hope this helps.

If the bridge cracked (which I am assuming that is what you are refering to when you say between the fingers) they may not replace it.  If I recall correctly the ball has to have 1 inch between the fingers or in voids the warranty.  Anyways good luck

mv,

yes, you are correct in your assumption that a person would have to be
missing a middle finger(unless specifically requested)for the bridge to
be one inch wide.  i have two customers that are missing their middle
fingers due to a job related accident.  one bridge is 1" wide and
the other is 1 1/8".  most manufacturers require a minimum of 1/4" bridge
in order for the warranty to be valid.

i do agree, if the ball was drilled "correctly", specifically bridge width
and pitches, then the ball SHOULD last longer than five months.

i don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but it seems that clear
balls have a greater tendency to crack versus other plastic balls.  i've
wonder if it has something to do with the lack of color pigment or filler
that actually affects the balls composite and construction.
