Where to buy Balls?
Does anyone know what ball is the official ball of the competition (who makes it, product number,etc...), We'd like to buy a bunch of them. A possible location to buy them would also be appreciated. The kit documentation gives a website, www.palossports.com, but it doesn't give anything about the ball other than its size.

Re: Where to buy Balls?
"Small Balls are purple, 13-inch diameter, rubber balls with a yellow "5" point value on one side.
Bonus Balls are yellow, 13-inch diameter, rubber balls with purple "10" point value on one side. Large Balls are yellow, 34-inch diameter, rubber balls inflated to 30-inch diameter with a purple "2X" on one side." Right from the manual baby! |

Re: Where to buy Balls?
I know the size and point value. I want to know who makes it and where to buy it. I will probably just buy generic playgorund balls, but I wanted to know if there was a specific supplier as I couldn't find the balls on the website given in the kit description.

Re: Where to buy Balls?
Dont know if this has already been said but the ball company wont ship outside america (ie canada, brazil or here in the uk)
This is causing us some problems. anyone know of alternate suppliers or methods of getting them to the uk? |

Re: Where to buy Balls?
Andy,
We ordered ball #2... http://www.palossports.com/store/pro...D/184/file.htm We just got them today and they are much different than the balls we got in the kit. They are much more sticky than the ones FIRST provided. I also think they have more of a wall thickness. They also have a different texture. Ball #1 is probably the right one. I guess we will just have to deal with the 15 balls we got... (Good thing I am not human player...) Good Hunting Bad Brad |
