Pool Ball Shift *****

I'm thinking about bringing up a dozen more pool ball shift *****, like the one in my signature below, but in other *****/colors. Is there any interest by any of you MITM2 folks? If so, what color/number pool ball? 9, 11, and 14 correspond to white top MINIs that are respectively yellow, red, and green. And there's always the 8-ball...

That would be one hell of a pool table with 42 *****. Since a 42 ball isn't available, what's your 2nd choice?
I hope to get the cost down to around $50-ish.

I don't ever really play pool, but my g/f seems to be a mini master. (Played 9 ball, and I got to sit and watch. Never let her break)

Anyway, what numbers are avaliable? She said I should get a #13. And I know there are solids and stripes. What ones do you have? And are the ***** bigger or smaller then my stock shift ****?

#13 is an orange and white stripe. Green and white stripe is #14. I don't play pool and have to look up most of the stripe combinations. Last time I fooled myself into playing serious pool, I was always having to reach for my wallet and take out bills...
Diameter of a pool ball is almost exactly the same as the stock chrome/leather wrapped ball [about 0.050" larger in diameter]. I'm sure you have picked up a pool ball before, it has a unique feel in the hand. I don't have any made yet, just trying to get a pulse...

Green and white 84 would be a nice impossibility.
