Now that I have new Simonis English Green on my Gold Crown IV I am wanting to buy a new 6-Ball. The normal 6-Ball is difficult to see since the cloth is so dark so I was wondering if its possible to buy that light green 6-Ball that I have seen used at various places.

Can anybody help me find that light/bright green 6-Ball here? And please, do NOT start crap about my lights. I have plenty of lighting.

I believe the balls you’re referring to are the Cyclops TV set. They have a bright green 6 ball and light blue 7 ball. The rest of set kind of looks pastel. I’m not sure if you can by one individual ball though.

Can get the whole set lightly used at the expo for around 150-200. If you don't go I can pick the set up for you if you like and ship them too you... but that's not until April. I plan on buying myself a set while I'm there. I like the way they play.

Personally I wouldnt buy just one ball due to size differences. Even if you buy one from the same set... yours have been played with and I'm sure cleaned... so they are going to be ever so slightly smaller... that small difference is going to cause a world of headache in getting a good rack, even with a template rack. I'd recommend a whole new set.

A quick google search showed these, brand new on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/i/372153788770?chn=ps

Finally played with a Cyclop set at Griff's this past wk.
Not a big fan. Just a color preference thing.
....
OP.
Have you thought about an LED flat panel light?
Hahahaha
 
Replace the set. As mentioned, you may notice a difference in size, as well as weight.

If the font of the lone six ball were a different size or type, that would annoy me far more than the color blending with the cloth.

Seems like some of us here tried to talk you out of that english green colored cloth - LOL. The 6-ball is going to be harder to see on any color green cloth, but maybe worse on that color? You'll have to break down and buy a new set of Asian made Cyclop balls, which you will find to be of inferior quality balls compared to Aramith or Brunswick Centennials.
 
You're in Jasper. Go to DCC next month and buy a TV set cheap. While you're there, enjoy some great pool.
