You would need to find an acrylic ball that the design of a soccer ball had been laser etched on the inside or something similar. --- End quote --- Right, that's why my post said "Almost". NoOne - Did you ever find them? |

I didn't find anything that was finished, and ready for sale as-is. I did find a couple leads for custom printing in that other thread though. I'm waiting to hear back on the feasibility, and price. I also remembered that I know someone locally with a die sublimation setup. I may be able to do some trade work with HIM to get it printed cheap, if I buy my own cue ball. |

Thinking as I type here and this may be totally unfeasible but... what if ... start with a regular trackball then tediously dremeled out a slight groove in a soccerball pattern take some sort of epoxy (colored somehow) and filled in the grooves once expoxy has cured, tediously polish the trackball just a thought |

That is possible. That's basically how inlays are done on them. It would be ALOT of work though. |
