Good Deal on Balls

[ktrent]

Though not as durable as exile balls they are pretty cheap and in stock at toys r us. At only around $7 a piece they work great for only a season or so. Also for us TN guys we can support our VOLS with them.

They are overdue for a good season. The balls are cool too.

sorry, dumb question here...are they that much better than FENDERS? A large (8" diameter) FENDER works good too, yes?

Fender like to squeeze up and out, balls roll with the boat.

Thanks Kalamazoo I feel better.

[liljohn]

Balls are better ask any man.

Thanks Kalamazoo I feel better.

Never use use the word "feel" in a thread about.... uhm.... well you know what I mean.

Surprised that A-Fun has not asked how you use a pair of balls.

Got a pretty good response with the cover question

The hop balls are so much softer and will not damage your gel coat like fenders will over time. Plus in between two boats the balls keep the boats a lot further apart. I do still keep two fenders in the boat for certain tie ups the balls just aren't tough enough.

[Kalamazoo]

Toy balls section?

[shawndoggy]

my buzz lightyear hippity hops have been going strong since 2010.

[Bill_AirJunky]

HAhaha, I have a pair that look like giant baseballs. Their at least 4 or 5 yrs old.

[isellacuras]

Need to find em in stock at the store. If you order them online, they're almost $30 each.

[TallRedRider]

What gives you the impression that these are less durable than the Exile balls? I would be willing to bet they are made the same, maybe even in the same chinese factory.

[ktrent]

In west Knoxville store they where in the seasonal section right as you go in. They had tons of em. They are made or packaged by STATS a company that seems to only be at toys r us. I did check online and now they say only in stores but a few weeks ago they where available online.

I am not 100% sure there less durable. I did read somewhere that the guys from exile had the Chinese factory make there's thicker. I guess the only thing to do is to order two exile balls and test. I think I may just do that.

I've actually held a pair of Exile balls in my hands, black ones too.... and I was surprised at how thin they felt. Can't imagine the ToysRUs ones being any thinner or less durable.
