Will a darker color ball crack more?

Only when the lights are off.

One percent more. This is like my black truck in Florida. :)

OP is a racist

[AlexNC]

Only if it is lofted.

Ask Aslan.

He studied this for a semester.

My black ball cracked before my other ball. OH WAIT. That was in the 70's and all my balls were black.

My 2 tone green T Zone was cracking all around the outside of my thumb slug. Replaced at no cost.

Will it crack more.....the length, width and depth of the crack has more to do with the heating and cooling of the internals against the cover and it's these properties along with cover thickness that will determine how much it cracks.

But being an uneducated troll I'm sure you meant more often. Which would be an interesting question. Black is the absence of color, the removal of the color pigmentation. The patent for doing so, for basically making the color black, is held by Cabot Corporation. Now while they won't get into the science of how this is performed for millions of companies across the world I'm sure somebody there knows if the process can cause a bowling ball to crack more often than one that doesn't have the pigmentation removed.

I've had a red bowling ball crack wide open a green ball crack wide open
and a black ball crack wide open all the way around the balls you could
see the cores in them.

I'm not sure if just being a black ball would make it crack before one
with different colors in it would crack or not.

yes my pink tropical breeze got lane damage, maybe black color doesn't matter

[2handedsniper]

maybe a darker ball will mark up less? because my earth toned ball got belt marks this week

[billf]

A black belt mark on a black ball is still there and can still affect ball reaction, it will just be harder to see the mark.

The mark is not black, might the plastic coverstock have folded?

Belt marks aren't always black. The marks in one of my houses are white. A pain in the A$$ to get off
