I felt a tounge & groove/ dovetail type connection on the end of the plastic strip & was able to manipulate it within the fabric and snap it back together. All the years of hacking & fixing parts as part of the field reset crew is paying off I guess. lol[quote]

One of our teammates went to Wall Mart to buy some orbit balls, but all the balls were broken. He talked to the manager and was able to buy them for 2 dollars each instead of 10. While we were tossing them around during the meeting one of our other teammates discovered what you found and we were able to fix most of them.

Also, it wouldnt hurt to practice with some broken balls, thats why the teammate bought them. There is a very high chance that you will be playing with broken balls at a competition, and you want to be able to accommodate for that.
