None of 'em.  That's the point.

They decided to not sell to online shops. They wanted to go directly to pro shops. As for shoes I think they are selling online though.

Looks like you will have to email or just call them for 15's and 14's, they also offer drilled prices so you do not get gouged for bringing in an internet ball if you know your specs.

They should run about the same as other premium equipment like Lane 1, Lanemasters, and Paradigms.

I ordered a 14.3 Creature, It took almost a month for Global to make a new batch of them, they sent a 14.7 and instead of sending it back (Because I didn't know how much time till I got another 1) I drilled it anyway's and used it a short time, the reaction was very smooth and Arcing with pretty good pin action, I had to unload my Creature because the extra couple of ounces hurt my joints when I threw it, at some point, I'm going to order another 1 of these balls and hopefully it will be the weight I ordered! I also had the Break, I asked for a drilling to use with my 3.5 PAP Low Track style, they suggested placing the Pin below my Ring finger and placing the 900 on my VAL (Which as it turned out, is designed for Higher Track player's), I did so and this ball and I could not get along, it was not the ball's fault as I used a drilling that in my heart I knew could not work for my game but I tried to trust in their drilling advice. I'm happy to report that Both balls have found new homes and are impressing a couple of owner's here in Albuquerque.

It is extremely hard for a pro shop to get such an exact weight. 14.3> fixed
That requires someone to actually go out into the warehouse and go thru all the weights,  just to find the one you wanted.  Most are not set up to do this.
Balls are ordered as 14-15-16 lbs.  Now some dist. will take the time and try to look for the exact weight of 14.3.  but that is not the norm!!! Especially on a busy shipping day!!!
Next time maybe request a low gross weight only.

The point was he wanted a 14.3,  did he get it?  No.  Maybe he should have requested a 14.7,  then he might have received a 14.3.
