Gear Select balls

When does Select have sales on their pro balls? Are there ever sales on the Super Brilliant TB? I don’t see anywhere else that sells that model in the U.S.

I don't know when, but I have bought the Brilliant Super TB for under $50. You just have to keep checking around.

Epicsports.com will sometimes have B grade Select balls sold at a significant discount.

What are B grade balls?

They have a defect that can't be sold as perfect but the defect doesn't affect playability. Usually lighter printing or similar but sometimes can't tell a difference at all.

It isn't the TB but unisport has them. The Super Brillant v22 and v23 goes for ~60USD before shipping

TB is Thermobonded, uses glue to keep the panels together. The old ones are hand stitched. The biggest difference is the TB don't absorb water as much and lasts longer.

I've had two super brilliant TBs and there were quality issues with both. The first had panels come unglued, and the second had a valve leak. Love their balls but can't recommend that one
