I tried to order a ball back in January from one of my buddies that was working in a shop. They were on backorder (CBS I think) but my normal pro shop could get the ball in 2 days (Steve Cook)

He's probably full of it. I stopped going to one pro shop cuz the guy kept doing that to people. Oh yeah I'll order it, he would say, and he would forget... Then it would take 2 weeks to get work done, cuz he would get too busy. (It was his full time job)

they seem to be readily available on all the on-line sites
maybe his supplier has them on back order, but if he want to keep people happy, he needs to be looking around for you

me personally, I wouldn't wait more than a week for a ball
two to three days is more common

Sounds like the shop owner either needs to add more distributors so this does not happen or go with one distributor that has better stock/selection.
