    Default Crack on rotor:How will it effect my rpm?

    Got a crack on my rotor about 2-2.5cm long.

    My best score is about 12500 and lately i cant even get it past 12000

    only just saw the crack today and reckon it might have an effect.

    I have been powerballing for 2 months now and i have a blue neon pro.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    If you bought your ball from this site then you should be able to get a replacement. Cracks do affect rpm quite I bit I think.

    Tils.

    Hey, my advice to you is to take pictures of your powerball (to determine exactly which model it is) and pictures of the cracked rotor and send them to info@powerballs.com

    They should be able to help you out regardless of where you got you powerball

    Hi
    I'm really impressed with the fact that with a cracked rotor your scores fell just 500rpm.When i experienced that i had a fall of 2000rpm
    Anyway, i think if your ball is an NSD then you have the lifetime guarantee

    I really dont know how long it has been there but i think thats why i struggle

    the cracks increases the drag and eventually will cause vibration (somthing that familiar to a jetplane that going over its limit) the drag also causes a decrease of speed and thats how it becomes uncomfortable, it also doesnt matter where you bought the ball from unless it has the gripband logo printed on it (which is needed to confirm that it is rpm sports product) hope i helped out mate

    Regards,

    Ron

    I had a stuffed rotor and kept going with it and it wrecked the shell, but I'm amazed you can keep going whenever I stuff a rotor it's like a bloody cement mixer
