coverstocks cracking!

I had a customer call me to say that he has had 2 balls crack that I drilled for him. They are over a year old since drilled. Any thoughts?

It could be a couple things, only from what I’ve seen. It could just be the ball itself because my local pro who I get my equipment from says he has been having a problem with the storm tropical line cracking on people. Also could be customer error and not taking care of his equipment. Here in Michigan many people have a problem with leaving there bowling balls in there car in the winter. So when the ball goes from super cold to warm multiple times then that will also cause the ball to crack as well.

It almost seems like he is blaming me, not sure if it could have been done during drilling. Would think if that were the case it would have happened a little sooner than a year later.

True. Now is he claiming that both of these balls cracked around the same time?

yes they were drilled about 3 months apart but they broke recently,within 2 weeks of each other.
