I noticed a post here about the game of Starball and it looked interesting. Does anyone know if the ball set for this game is still available anywhere?

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
The original seller had a huge clearance of his remaining stock years ago. I don't remember the exact time but it was probably around 2005 or so. I really doubt it will be easy to find a set.
In all honesty the balls were not high quality, the star/stripes and etc were good, molded in but the resin wasn't great. I don't know for sure but I would guess they were a lower quality phenolic. Not terrible but not great. They felt kind of how the old coin op cue balls felt if that makes sense.
It's a great game, you can play it with stripes/solids if you can't find an original set.
Toward the end, the seller also was just selling boxes of 16 of the same balls once the kits sold out. He also sold 8 ball kits.

Thanks for the info, appreciate knowing the quality of the original sets. I thought about using stripes and solids and that might be the only option if I can't locate an original set.
