No, this is not a rumor. It really happened. My freind brought the ball back to the Pro Shop and it is being replaced. The pro shop operator is dealling with storm or the distributor, not sure which one. I do not post much on this board and have no interest in starting or spreading rumors. Instead of trying to fix my spelling mistake, you could have said, "seen or heard of no problems with this ball" and I would have been OK with that response.
I appreciate Storm for their quick response.
