    Aramith Blue Circle Cue Ball

    Looking for the closest replacement for the Blue Circle Ball that came with my Centennial set. Have checked around and found that they are getting scarce.

    Bill Lawson write up from back in the mid 80's

    There's a lot of bull in this write up, but there is also a lot of truth. Irvin Lawson at one time, was not the game, a road player ever wanted to be matched up in. He was a giant when he was in gear and many who knew stayed away. Last 9 ball tourney he played in (Roanoke Va) in the final match...
