Polo Balls

They cannot get any red super high density ones at all, but they can get the orange ones at the stated price? Are they Franklins?

I'll find out if they can get the red ones... AFAIK they are orange Franklins, they're the Czech distro for Franklin hockey products...

@dt - What ratio do you think?

@joe - Good work. Please confirm they are Franklins. This is crucial.

We played with reds through the winter this time round therefore i would suggest a split of 80/ 20 in favour of reds.

Our Czech connection is on it...

Im working on it. I´ll let you know how much does it cost for 400 super high density (red) and 150 high density(orange) deliver to London.

Can you get samples Joe? I ordered some from Germany last year and they seemed kosher on paper but they turned out to be different (heavier) than the US balls.

Also I think 70/30 split on Reds/Orange

^ i concur with ed, also the oranges aren't too bad if kept in freezer (for summer)

I spoke to Harv Crack Fox at the London Open, and apparently he may soon be a reliable source for Red Franklins (got dem Thai connections innit) Although im not sure of a timescale, may be worth bashing him a PM, but im sure as soon as things are more concrete he'll let us know :)

This is true, we've been in contact with a company in Thailand who make the red P.V.C balls for Franklin . They're samples identical to what we have been buying, exact size ,exact grams ,same properties . The cool thing about them is ......

1. They can make them any colour size and weight
   
2. They are sent direct by boat to UK not via US
   
3. They are cheaper
   
4. No logo, but can put any logo on, we want
   
5. No packaging, just the ball
   
6. Makes money for my nice Bhuddist friend "Den" (unfortunately he is not a Ladyboy) in Thailand who is sorting out the shipping,payments and translations , not Frankthewanklin
   
7. This supply won't go dry .
   

Yes. Multi coloured UK branded balls with a sweeeet polo logo.

That sounds fantastic... Do it!
LBP branded polo balls would be amazing!

The logo rubs off pretty quickly , but i reckon a nicer colour would be good. White is probably more practical ? I'm going to be in Thailand this autumn so will hopefully have time to check out the factory is OK .

in london they ... have white goals!

No balls to three sources! LHBPA (we) should hold off for the moment. No trigger pulling.

I've got 300 on their way at the moment . I will let any interested parties know when they arrive.

Holy shit, Harvey. Legend!

Yeah but Taxi was saying that he ordered these

and they were more orangey and hard even though they said Super HD.

After playing with these for a while... These are like playing with rocks. Avoid.

You can identify these as they say ROLLER HOCKEY instead of Street Hockey and do not carry the NHL logo.

Nice. Please let me know.

Do you have a price yet?

Are you going to be a permanent UK ball supplier now?

Ah! I've got one of these and it is, indeed, like playing with a rock. One more reason roller hockey is lame.

Nice. Please let me know.

Dr V, should we arrange a stock for London, I guess there'll be plenty of interest.

When these balls arrive , i'll get some samples out to everyone as quick as possible to peruse . Only 300 at the moment for this initial batch . Maybe do a big order for before the Vat increase if all goes well with this lot . I would like to do some other colours and mad printed designs , and maybe try and improve on the original red hot weather design ? I'm trying to make them as cheap as possible .

Can we have electric blue ?

I like electric blue.

Especially when the lighting is orange
