Nick, Andy, Sean,

The white ball is funcky looking!  I want one now, but I don't think my driller can spare 15mins.

I traded my friend my sanded viz a ball for a NIB Angels ball. I've just been using my regular equipment to shoot spares.

What would the worth of a Chris Barnes Viz-A-Ball since he is currently off B-staff?  I think we still have one, and a Parker Bohn III Viz-A-Ball in the shop.

Yes, he does.  But sanded viz-a-balls are cool.  Nobody has a white ball!

I have a white ball.  I still have my AMF XS.    Albeit sanded completely, signed by tour pros and repolished.

Hey now, I was never going to use the ball again.  I figured it would be a good conversation piece.  I don't know what I was thinking when I got it.  I left it dirty until I completely sanded the labels off.

The process I used to get mine to white was this...

Started with lane screen, cross sanded 2 ways.
Then went to 220, then cross sanded 320, then cross sanded 400, then cross sanded with 600, then finished sanding with 1000.
After that, high glossed it with Brunswick Factory Finish High Gloss.

It took about 30 minutes.

And yes, you can find some of the discontinued ones really cheap. I'm thinking of taking several of the ones in our shop that we've had for a few years and making them white....They will sell for sure.

Oh yeah, as far as plugging a viz, there is really no way to preserve the image.
