Haha yeah I got a practice ball first, both because it doesn't scratch or break, and because it was a lot cheaper.. just in case I lost interest in it. P: I've already managed to fracture my acrylic ball though, and it's scratched like hell, but eh. I'll keep that one to play with and later, I'll get a bigger on to really show off with, since the break in it is very visible, at least when you know it's there.

But yeah. STAY OFF CONCRETE with your acrylic balls. :| I learned that the hard way.. Anything else will pretty much just scratch it, which isn't that bad.
