Title: Help me remember an old ball please
Post by: 1MechEng on December 15, 2023, 09:28:12 AM

Can anyone help me remember the name of the company/model of ball that used to have a different type/color of material that was used only in the track area? It was probably in the late 90's/early 2000's? IIRC, the end result looked like a 3"-5" wide ring around the ball in a different color.
I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it once was. Thanks in advance!

Been waiting for another company to do it better for a while now.

Wont happen because of production cost and effectiveness. Plus the issues with separation over time. It was a unique one of a kind thing that will not happen again.
