looking at the area around where the chipping has a occurred (and not being able to see the rest of the surface), there looks like a inordinate amount scratches around those areas.

Like the ball has been hitting hard against something in those areas. Also there doesn't look like any beveling on the hole edges, real sharp edges tend to crack and chip easy.

You should check with the pro shop and see if any other are having this prob. with that ball.

thanks bowling 1820,, the scrathces are from me trying to take the sharp edges off with sand paper! Its like glass! It seems to be crumbling around all the holes!

[MICHAEL]

Is this common around finger holes on this type of ball? ( the clear finish?) Its crumbling around all the holes, NO Where else.

almost forgot,,, (in the top picture a big hunk came out and they had to plug it for a fix)! You can see on the left of the hole where it was fixed!

For a new ball Crumbling around the holes like that shouldn't be happening.

Same thing happened to my Columbia 300 white dot after about 2 years, I'm leery about getting another spare ball because of this.

just a thought i may be 100% wrong could it be a bad drill like whom ever drilled it messed up?

I have been told that the chipping around the thumb hole and fingers are normal. All of my balls are starting to show signs of chipping!
