Not to be found anywhere in USA and Aramith completely ignores any email inquiries about availability.
 
I think they are in stock at www.canadabilliards.com but I would send them an email to be sure. I have bought from them in the past, and an item will ordinarily not go to your cart unless it is in stock. I think they are about $42.00.
 
Thanks SKILLZELITE……….$40.21 @ Manning Cues……$9.99 shipping…..$50.20 total.
Been trying since December to obtain one and it’s listed as back order everywhere. Just
ordered it and if nothing else, it’s a nice change of pace from the red dot measles cue ball.

Better call Manning. Their site is not real time inventory. I have ordered in the past and been told an item is out of stock or on back order.
 
Already received order confirmation and USPS tracking information is available
after shipment is initiated tomorrow. Their site previously said it was out of stock.
I’ll let you know whether I’m notified it’s not in stock or after it actually shows up.

@Tooler
Were right Just got a email from manning stating order wont be fulfilled til late july.
I told them go ahead and issue the refund.
Id of waited a month or so , but damn near august ?!, no thx.
 
@mrpiper
Appreciate the link,
but cad to usd with the $25 shipping charge is $70usd . Not so much the $ as it is the principle, already was feeling like $50 is alot for 1 cue ball.
Thx none the less
 
Alas, it looks like post #3 still applies and frankly, the situation seems absurd.

Why make and advertise something you are not capable of delivering to the
buying public. It doesn’t create more interest. It creates annoyance and ill
will towards the manufacturer for its indifference or ineptness. Someone might
be inclined to think of this as a marketing ploy. I don’t think so. It’s more likely
just a production scheduling issue that suffers from shoddy product management.

Buy an Arcos II Black Triangle cue ball. They are available for $50. I have both and your game will not know ANY difference. I am a solid breaker and see no difference between the two in real world use particularly with regard to burn marks. Also I can see no difference in chalk marks. If anything at all I personally think the Arcos ball stays cleaner but that is just opinion.
 
Both black tourney & predator cue ball are made by aramith , so that seems to be the best option , unless youre willing to wait & see if the supposed production set to release in July/August comes true.
Either way Id imagine arcos & black are nearly identical .

Fwiw, I wouldnt contemplate to long on Arcos, being they seem to be in short supply as well.
Im only seeing 3 sites with them in stock, alot of places are sold out.

I do not care for the Predator cue ball design in contrast to the Aramith measles ball.
Since the price is the same, it’s an apples to apples comparison. I have a collection
of cue balls and the best one I have is from the 80’s. The color has acquired a deeper
tone than white after 35 years but looks kinda cool and it weighs 168 grams. I mostly
use it when playing straight pool with one of my Centennial sets. Reminds me of the
time when pool was pool. Nothing more and nothing less just like it was in The Hustler.
 
Fast Eddie: No bar?

Cashier: No bar, no pinball machines, no bowling alleys, just pool…nothing else. This is Ames, mister.

It was a glorious time for pool…even better than the mid-80’s thru 90’s….I was able to enjoy both periods.
