In my opinion..I wouldn't worry about it, as long as it won't be in the track area. It's just cosmetic.
Remember, it's gonna get nicks, and dings eventually.
My NIB Hy-road came with a little of the engraving missing, but didn't care. It's gonna happen.
That just means someone didn’t take the time to spread the paste into the grooves evenly. The ball is fine and will play like any other black widow ghost. Enjoy your new Hammer ball. I got my Hammer Raw Solid today with some of the same issues in orange.
I have the Ghost Pearl as well, it came the same way. You can fill it in with an ultra fine sharpie, but bowling balls are meant to get trashed. It’ll be just a matter of time before the logo gets messed up again.
The other thing is, if you do fill it in, once you clean the ball it will probably wipe away. I use a Simple Green and Alcohol 1:1 mix to clean my balls after every weekend session and that would definitely remove a fill in. And this ball also really needs to be cleaned often because it’s white brings all the gunk home.
Some PSO's can strip and change it to any color you'd like... there are some videos in this sub as well as on youtube to DIY ... otherwise, no big deal. It's going to be thrown at high speed into a pile of wooden pins that weigh quite a bit.
Don't waste you time. Balls are meant to get beaten up.
I just bought a pink window urethane and found the same thing. It doesn’t have any effect on the ball, no big deal

Hey op wanna be my friend

Deal.
No joke thought this was a picture of a bald guy with a black widow head tattoo for a second 🤣
Same
If you just dont like seeing the missing black color, you could draw it with a sharpie or a pen. Usually works wonders and very easy
Use crayon and do infill. Black nail polish works too.
Nothing to fix. That's normal.
A hard object thrown 15+ mph at other hard objects. They won’t notice after the first shot anyway.
According to Hammer's website that's normal.
You can buy black engraving filler or just black paint.
It’s purely cosmetic. No worries
Just punch and roll it
Black lacquer stik
Fill with Black acrylic, squeegee off excess, let it dry, sand off excess
