All of the Brunswick, Radical, and DV8 balls I have purchased recently have had a very strong chemical odor. I have a Brunswick Fearless, DV8 Turmoil2 solid, and DV8 Turmoil2 Pearl all sitting here at home undrilled and they all have a distinct industrial chemical odor. My other Big B equipment had the odor as well, but it quickly dissipated once I had them drilled and started using them.
