Brunswick Centennial Ball Problem

[rjtcobra]

Hi All, check out this pic of my new 5 ball from a brunswick centennial set. It appears to be slightly defective. with the edge of the number plate bleeding through at the top, and there is a slight bump there. My question is this: Should I ask for a new one, or do you think that when they make sets, they are actually "Matched" in some way?

Also, should I go through the dealer or call Brunswick Direct?

I was surprised by this as I have heard great feedback on these balls being just as good, if not better than the Aramith pro sets (knowing they are made by the same company, Saluc). I do like the look of the centennials better.

Thanks,
Ryan

Manufacturing defects and anomalies can occasionally make it through even the most stringent quality controls. My guess is that if you contact Brunswick and/or Saluc they'd be more than happy to replace this ball. And if not, let me know. I can get a replacement for you for a nominal price.

All balls are made to certain tolerances so there really is no "matched" boxed set.
Don't waste your time with Bwick or Saluc. Take the ball back to the dealer for a replacement.
Each ball in the box should be perfect. Accept nothing less.

I agree. I am going to call the dealer this morning. I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks,
