Purchasing Raquetballs for FVC Game

It seems that finding cheap raquetballs in large quantity is not very easy. Finding red raquetballs is even harder. Raquetworld Raquet Balls has a very good list of all manufacterers of raquetballs at reasonable prices. They have red raquetballs listed there, but they are out of stock because of a "Rubber Mixture Error in Korea" . Here are the best deals from their website:

Blue Raquetballs:
- Wilson Championship Blue: $2.95 for 3 balls
- Penn Ultra Blue: $11.95 for 12 balls
- Wilson Championship Blue: $69.00 for 72 balls
- Penn Ultra Blue: $120.00 for 108 balls
Red Raquetballs:
- Ekleton Fireball: $2.75 for 2 balls
- Ekleton Fireball: $72.00 for 72 balls

Re: Purchasing Raquetballs for FVC Game

1. Don't sweat the red ones if you are practicing/having your own competition. Any two colors will do. Heck, you may not even need two colors at all.

2. Again, many will not need the full 100 balls to practice and build. Three of those 12 packs (about $35) at your local sporting goods store, gives you one full auto loader and two groups of 10 on the floor. If you split the quantity in the auto loader you can have a half-field practice easily.
