I didn't think it would be so difficult to find such a seemingly simple little item, but Chop Cup balls don't seem to be carried by too many places online. I've done searches here on the CafŽ, and still haven't found a good source.
I have found one or two places that have sets for upwards of $30, but if I can find something a bit cheaper, that would be great. To be more specific, the set that came with my chop cup is junk. They are soft, knitted balls, apparently filled with cotton. The gimmick is near the edge of the ball, making the whole ball lopsided and it rolls funny when I lift the cup up to show the production. I guess I am looking for a cork ball that has a knitted cover. Any suggestions?

The Ambitious Card - I love their felt balls.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Frank,
I saw the felt balls on your site, but I did not see chop cup balls. Am I missing them?

I use RNT II balls in my chop cups. The adjustabilty of the ball makes it easy to tailor it to the cup you're using.

I'm a big fan of the felt balls at Ambitious Card for a cups and balls routine. Given the quality of products I have purchased from Frank, I am certain the chop cup balls are excellent as well. However, for me as far as chop cup balls are concerned, I agree with Alan--the ability to adjust the chop cup balls from RNTII is a big big plus!

Hank Lee also carries sets of Chop Cup balls, click HERE to view.
Just make sure you specify that you want the Morrissey brand of ball (from Canada); this is a cork ball with a thick knitted cover. There are copies of these from India and elsewhere that aren't as good. SETH
