This replacement lets you swap the worn cover rather than automatically replacing the whole ball set.

Each cover is cut to one size, so compare the size of your ball with the cover size before choosing; an 18-inch cover will not fit another size. The product is the sleeve, not a complete ball set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible ball: Race\u0026amp;Herd Small 18-inch herding ball.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe inner ball and pump are not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy replace the cover instead of the whole ball?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover can be replaced when the outer sleeve wears through, while the inner ball usually has not. Changing just the sleeve helps keep an otherwise usable inner ball in play and costs a fraction of replacing a new set.
