Topic: Where to purchase latest Tornado balls and Warrior balls?

[FoosNoob]

Where do you guys order the new Tornado (Valley) balls from?  Also, I'd like to check out whatever the latest warrior ball is as well.  Where would I find one of those?

Oh yea, nice priced coin op on ebay: Item number: 110328447580   

Thanks,

Hey FoosNoob,

Just try right here!  Jim Waterman's foosball.com includes a marketplace, although I don't know if he has the latest Tornado balls yet, as Charlie Mac in NC is already selling and distributing.

Go to these forums' parent site, http://www.foosball.com,  and you should find them readily.  Despite probably being a totally despicable Baltimore Ravens fan, and bent on the total elimination of the Dolphins, Jim's pretty cool.

The description includes the following:

"However the NEW "Red" Ball... a very similar ball but in a darker Red color is the official ball for the T3000 tornado coin op and the T3000 non coin op commercial tables! This is the ball that will be used at International (ITSF) competitions. US tournaments will more than likely move to this ball as promoters update their supplies!"

So, I guess you can order the new ones from there.  However, I just wanted a one of the new ones to bounce around my table at home and standard shipping is $8.55 for one ball  .  I think I'll just wait till my local store gets the new ones in.

Thanks for the help!

Jim only has the new "Red" Tornado ball

don't know if you can get the Warrior ball direct yet, I put their site below...I don't know if you can call them or what...it looks like you can select to order a table, then order balls then remove the table and only get the balls...this will make sense after you see the site

Thanks guys for the help. 

The warrior site wants me to give up by CC info and "submit order" before they show me the shipping cost?  A bit strange.  Dunno, maybe I'm just doing it wrong?

My only local shop has way too many of the old balls in stock and they will be looking to get rid of those before they order any of the new ones.  Looks like I'll have to pay the 8.55$ shipping for the new ball from the foosball.com shop afterall.

Thanks,

Thanks for the plug...
Here is a link directly to the Tornado foosballs at foosball.com...

Note: we HAVE the New Red Tornado balls in stock... the new Ball that will be shipped with Coin Ops and T-3000 non coin op table per our understanding.

But!: we are back ordered on the "tried and true "Pink Ball" which will still be shipped with all the one piece cabinet tables!

we just got two t-3000 tables with the new RED balls....they are definately slower playing and i think better for the pull shooters to get used to not the roller shooters
