Target zones are the cheapest.  Get a viz-a-ball, and sand it.  It becomes white.  That would be so cool to have.

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

Apparently, Tony Reyes uses a polished Goliath for a spare ball!

I'd bet the Miller ones are Brunswick Viz-A-Balls.  I have the pink Hello Kitty one but I'm not drilling it for a while (call it an expensive paperweight)

It does not hurt the ball or reduce the size enough to even measure. I did one for my daughter and it does take a little work.  It took about 30 minutes to get it done right. It is awesome looking....maybe we should consider getting these out to the public like that. Hmmmmmm.

Heck yeah!  You'd make one guy on here happy.  Yeah, you'd definitely make Harrylegthigh's day.  He's always wanted a white bowling ball....

The only thing i wonder, is how much would they run for?
