I’ll bite. I have no idea what I’m gonna’ use it for, but I want it (and to help you in your clever endeavor).
Just lemme know how you would like magic internet monies.
One last thing - I appreciate “sympathy sales”. However I will have more balls arriving before the weekend (I think?) so I should have more variety. I have at least one guy on BYOAC that wants a matching set, and since I really don’t have matching anything right now, it’s tricky.
Sent you a PM.

hey numbski, Ih aven’t gotten your balls yet :(.
you know what would be a cool balltop? one of those snowglobe things or like water filled center with the glitter flowing all over inside.
???
No kidding? Have you looked up the tracking info that Paypal sent you? Where is it?
Chipper, I can’t find your tracking info…I’m starting to question whether it shipped with the rest. It doesn’t even look like I ever took your money even (still looking).
Side note - apparently the new balls are supposed to show up today (out for delivery) but it’s after 5pm here and there’s nothing here…
(UPDATE - crap. I never accepted your payment! No wonder…ugh! How would you like me to deal with this? Go ahead accept and ship, or are there changes you want to make?)
Wow, speak of the devil…doorbell just rang. New balls arrived. ???
Talk about things happening fast…sheesh
Okay, so I have 45 torpedo metal finish balls, and a 45 assorted mix (like I got last time).
I’ll see if I can get a few done this evening and take pictures.
I just did one of the torpedoes. It’s kind of a weird duck. It’s black glass with a light chrome coat, so from one angle it appears to be polished chrome, and another angle high-gloss black. I’ll see if I can get pictures that do that justice.
Okay. I have a baby blue one here ready to go. I managed to shatter a pair of pinks trying to get that done for you, but I’ll give another a go later. One way or another, I should be able to get this out the door for you tomorrow.
EDIT: I’ve got your Pink one done too. Definitely going out tomorrow.
Sounds good but like I said before, no hurry. I’m not in a rush or nothing. Rather you take your time for quality work.
Quality isn’t a problem. Just a matter of “do I sit here and play APF2K8 some more, or do I make ball tops”.
My two passions - Street Fighter and Football, and I’ve been Football-deprived for a while now…anyway, onto letting people look at my balls.
From Back Left:
Blue Glass with chrome finish, torpedo metal, baby blue, pink, emerald, and clearys. The last one is a seimitsu bubble ball for comparison’s sake.

no problems numbski, although, i can’t stain it and send it back to you for another month becaues I’ll be away. I’m in no rush. thanks for letting me know.
Whoa snaps, that torpedo metal looks swank as hell and would look pretty sexy on my nearly all-black stick I’m working on. Could I swap the blue chrome one I wanted for the torpedo metal? I’m actually sending you the internet monies in a few minutes, here, so if not, it’s cool. Either way, I want one of your balls. … … snicker
That torpedo metal would just almost immediately find a home on my almost-finished stick. The blue chrome I’d have to think about more.
EDIT: There, I have slightly less money, and you have slightly more money.
Double-EDIT: This has nothing to do with “sympathy sales”. I just want to support somebody who I feel is doing an awesome thing for the community. I know that whatever I buy from you, I’ll end up using eventually, because it’s unique.
Torpedo will go out as soon as it’s drilled. I have plenty of those, just need to set the insert.
Woo. No rush. You’re already paid and you can just ship whenever the hell it’s convenient. I’ll use my lame white balltop until yours shows up.
here’s a couple of shots on my first finished stick…
ps…not to thread jack but it will be for sale as soon as I finish wiring it.
You’re not thread-jacking at all. Sweet!
I have to be ultra-careful on the clear ones to make sure the insert is 100% set. The brass sticking out the bottom is an eyesore. (Probably just because I’m being perfectionistic, but hey…)
EDIT - am I seeing a sub-surface crack in that first one, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? I’m hoping I’m seeing things, because there weren’t ANY clearys in this last batch. It’s supposed to be random, but I figured I’d get at least a few. I need to place a seperate order for those I guess.
