Our League Balls
« on: April 25, 2013, 02:39:46 PM »

We've just had our league balls for the coming season, they all look like beauty's. They are made by Tiflex whos factory is based just up the road from me in Liskeard, Cornwall. These ones have the Cornish Cricket emblem on them which I think are made especially for the Cornwall leagues. I also took delivery of our 2nd and 3rd team balls and they are noticeably lighter in colour and looked slightly cheaper.

The top Tiflex ball has been in use in my league for a few years. They used to make the cores for most other ball manufacturers. Then decided to stop supplying others with their core, and manufactured their own ball instead.

The top ball which is so dark it is almost purple is fantastic, the lower end balls are pretty standard fare.

Really like the dukes balls we get.  No matter how old they are, I can always get a shine on 1 side!  Got some used ones in my bag that I can hoop round corners...
