Sliotars

Postby Exile » Fri Feb 05, 2010 4:32 pm

There is a topic on this, but it dates back to 2005 (a link HOTD put up, but which doesn't include prices), and I can't find a more recent one.

Any help and advice is appreciated on this, but I was wondering where is the best value to buy sliotars, probably one or two dozen, in terms of price and quality? I googled this already and the going rate seems to be about 85 euros, which isn't bad (it's not great either), but was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that better deals can be gotten (or the same deal but the best quality ball for that)?
