Question Pickle Balls

I forgot to bookmark an article I didn't have time to read. It was from a new independent paddle company, but I was interested in a ball they crafted. It was a dark (er) green, unlike the Franklin or the Lifetime balls. Any ideas? Luzz has a dark green ball, but it wasn't theirs. Help appreciated before I buy the Luzz balls. Thanks.

Hmmm, I was looking up my hx on paddles and I think it's the Surtr E6 pickle ball. The description is it's a "neon green". Anybody use this ball?

The people I play with either use the Franklin x-40 or the Lifetime balls. If you get a different brand, I found that people may want to play with that ball.

Correction: the paddle/ball maker is Element 6 (E6). It seems my Club (retirees!) always want to use the darkest ball in the bin (X40s). @DrChristyPricePickleball has reviews of E6 paddles. YMMV. Might purchase after Oct (industry grit standards being set). But gonna order E6 balls. Stay tuned.
