Tropical Storm aftermath (core pictures)
« on: August 26, 2008, 06:13:37 AM »
Sometimes boredom just takes over...

I had picked this ball up as a single drill and after I had the fingers plugged and redrilled it cracked from the middle finger to the thumb sitting in a box on my floor.  Liked the ball, but no major loss for me.

My curiosity got the best of me, and over the past few months I've worked on it a little here and there to get it to the point you see above.

Bored and curious... not always a good combination.

In this case, it's forgivable because the ball wasn't usable anymore anyway.  If you had done that to a usable one, I would agree that bored and curious was a bad combo.  The funny part is that if you let one of these sit long enough, it comes apart anyway.  I had a Paradigm do that and it split completely in half in a matter of a couple of months.   I used to use primarily Storm & Roto, but after 5 balls cracked in the period of a couple of months, I'm going to take a break from Storm, but I will try a Cell in the near future.

It was usable, but no longer under warranty due to the plug work.  I'm sure I could have used it for a while longer before it got worse.
