Whalen Billiard Ball Shift ****

I just replaced my 1 yr old Whalen **** for the Whalen Billiard Ball ****. Sorry no photos. Use your imagination. Picture a #3 Red Billiard ball. I really like it. Only had it on for 40 miles but I like the feel--a little bigger--though not as heavy. It might be my imagination but the shifts seem better. It won't react to heat/cold quite so boldly as the original Whalen. The red doesn't quite match my CR dash--but the white surrounding the "3" reminds me of my white top. # 3 works for me--3 daughters/3 grandsons and I remember the Intimidator. I plan on hanging on to my original Whalen--change is good from time to time. Thanks Doug Whalen--you are a true professional.

Don't mean to hijack your thread but I've got this today as well
Actually I like the way it sits a little higher than the original! Thanks again Doug.
Cheers

I have the same #3! I want to get an orange one instead to match my interior.

Anyone want a spiffy #3 pool ball shifter?

As long as we're not hijacking the thread...I notice. manutd, that your shifter has become the repository for your old Livestrong bracelet. I, too have put my old Livestrong around my shifter.(I don't know if I like how this is beginning to sound) So I wonder who else? Have we started a fad?
