    Why not make your own? Get a real 8 ball, drill it out larger than the shift stick, then get a nut the same thread size and coat it in some sort of protective film. Thinking a thin layer of some type of wax? Maybe even just use some melted candle wax and thinly brush it on. Then fill your hole with a metal epoxy, and force the screw in, and squish some epoxy in from the top to fill any voids? When set, remove the bolt and chase the threads with a tap. Just a thought, may or may not work!

        Google "cue ball shifter knob". I saw a couple for about $20. Don't settle for anything less than Aramith, though. lol
