What is the process for exerting influence on the powers-that-be to possibly buy another brand ball such as the Onyx Pure 2?

The onyx 2 are about 3.25 each retail. I doubt they will ever spent that amount, which probably at least 3 times the cost, unless they get discounts for bulk? For us that want consistency it's personal investment. Some players refuse to play with onyx, for reason tournaments are played with other ball or blame the ball for poor technique.
IMO it's not cracked balls, but the egg shaped balls. Cracks ball could be from hitting the fence, pebble the court, cool conditions, manufacture process making them too brittle. Clipping ball with the edge of the paddle, just name few possibilities. IMO egg shaped is unacceptable.
