I understand.  May it R.I.P.

My Storm X-Factor met a similar fate...she now rests comfortably in her original box in the dark confines of my closet :-(

I'm sorry for your loss.  This happened to mine two weeks ago



 

A replacement is on its way!! Can't wait to drill it up.  The only problem is now that I have my Anarcy i don't know what i'm going to do.  Shot games of 290, 300, 279 within the first 14 games with the ball.  I don't know how i'm going to put it down and pick back up my new VE.


Balls in the bag and order they come out:
#1- Virtual Energy #2- Anarchy #3- Virtual Gravity #4- Gravity Shift #5- Big Hit (spare and really dry)
#6- Teal Rhino Pro (oldie but a goodie)

I realize that is a GIANT gouge but if it's not in your track you should have no issues using it. Years ago, I had a Clumbia PULSE that was one of my all-time favorite balls that sustained a gouge almost that big in a ball return but it wasn't in my track and I kept using it for quite a while with no issues.

My trusty black V2 cracked two weeks ago. I feel your pain. Lost my Diablo during the winter last year too and before that a Passion with only 3 games on it cracked in half.

What's with all the balls getting scalped?! My dad's Columbia 300 Red Pulse remake just got gouged out similar to that last week Wednesday. He's soooooo obsessed with that pulse that he actually found another ball just like it in 16# to replace it! I absolutely hate it. That ball has caused my dad to be sooooo dependant on it that he can't control anything else more aggressive like a Playmaker or Thunderstruck Solid.

Is the house at least going to pay for your replacement ball?  Or at least part of it?

Rabbit, if the house won't replace it for you, that ball is fixable with some clear plug and a knowledgeable pro shop. Now storm22's on the other hand...

House is not replacing it, because it was off a  rake arm, flag a spare wide right with a pin in the ditch. 
 
I threw it a couple of times, and it is directly over my track,
 
and I could have fixed it, (I am the proshop), but it wasn't worth the effort.

Shootin a 10 pin.  Dumped it right before the pin.  I saw it jump up and a white flash across the pit.  Storm hooked me up with a discount and my house is going to see what they can do on the rest of the payment.  It was a freak thing, but the ball was only a year old! Got my new one yesterday and drilled it up.  The only problem is that I love my Anarchy so much that I don't know if I can put it down to pick back up my VE!
