NICE!!! :cheers:

Where on earth did you get that?  How is the image placed on the ball?  Do you think it's gonna have problems with wear/scuffing?

Now I gotta add one more thing to my "gotta have one of those" list.

I got it here

Cue balls are the same size as the regular trackballs.

I think it will be along time before it wears off.

 :censored: this is a really good idea!  Now you're costing me money because I just got the Centipede cab and what a perfect time to do something like this...

I found these guys too:

http://www.customcueballs.com

Now, what to get, what to get  :dunno

They do custom orders too, maybe the BYOAC logo on one side and ???

Oh, and they say the dye is UV proof and sublimated under the surface so you're right, it shouldn't wear out.

when I installed a cue ball in my centipede in place of the off color ball when I did my rebuild I found it to be just a hair smaller than the original.  I have since gotten a new ball from Bob Roberts and it seems to fit better and roll better... am I nuts or what?

I can't tell from the picture, but is that sort of dyed into the ball, rather than painted?  I always loved that look on the ivory balls, where there was an added depth to the print.

My little brother gets into pool tournaments from time to time.  I should get him a cueball with something he likes on it.  Trying to decide what I'd want on a custom trackball, however, would be much harder.

It's not "on top" but looks to be underneth the gloss of the ball. So I don't have any worries about it coming off.

It goes with my Jack Man

Wow,  that last pic brings back some scattered pieces of memories of when me and Jack used to hang.   i think I still have one of those large Captains bottles that are cut off of the bottom of that pic.  Its a reminder of a top 5 stupid moment in my life.  hehe
