I bought a used ball from ebay. Bill from Buddies gave a review of the ball. I bought the ball in part because of his review and it turned out to be a so so ball. Anyway after some discussion with him, he VOLUNTEERED to send me a new ball free of shipping charges. I'm still in shock. If you are looking for a ball go to Buddies Pro Shop. I know I will. (In rereading this, it sounds like a lie IT IS NOT IT REALLY HAPPENED!!!)
