I have a yellow ball ... pause for laughter ... that I'm not really wild about ... pause for more laughter ... no really. Anybody have a colored ball ... pause for more laughter ... that you don't like the color of ... lengthy pause for laughter... e-mail me off list and tell me what color your ball is ... really long pause for laughter ... and perhaps we can swap balls ... huge guffaws. Any 11mm ball will do the trick. Tolerance is low, but there's some room, +/- a 1/2 millimeter (you'll note the lock ring is fairly snug around the ball and that is the real problem). Marbles are good options as are ball bearings, but 11mm marbles are hard to find, bearings are a little easier. It's an odd size. If you know anyone who does ceramic or porcelain crafts, they could actually make you one to your specs.
