It's a 2 1/4" so it will fit smaller trackballs quite well.

Those are the 2 basic sizes. The smaller ones can be quite economical if you wanna buy a couple of them. The larger ones are probably more usefull if you plan on only having one. Replacement balls are super cheap on the smaller ones, but super expensive on the larger ones.

I think Happ even sells billiard balls individually if you would rather have an 8 ball or something.

Eight balls always seem to dissapear from the pool tables in College Station, TX. They seem to make perfect knobs for the stick-shifts in big trucks out there.  ::)

man, now I feel really bad...I'm just as bad as an AGGIE!  

Seriously though, the 8 ball is the only thing keeping me from moving to a 3" TB.  I really like the look.  Hey what's diameter of those magic 8 balls?  you could make your shot in Golden Tee and get your fortune told after the spin.
