Check into your new newsreader's "cancel" function if you're

I have a web page dedicated to equipment.  See

For a good all-around ball, you can't beat the Spalding Top Flite
TF-All Weather synthetic-leather ball.  If you can find one, it'll
only set you back $20 or so.  It's remarkably soft for a syn ball and
plays and feels closest to the real leather Top Flite 18.

I have both the leather top flite and the synthetic tf-all weather.  I
use the syn. ball more since I often play near water.  

HTH,
