You seem to be implying that I am somehow biased against these new Cyclops balls. The truth is exactly the opposite: I happen to be among the minority in liking the cheerful pastel colors, and think the logo looks pretty cool. I'd take it over the measles cueball ANY day.
No one is saying that based on 2 youtube matches the Cyclops cueball is definitively defective...but there were several instances where it rolled off exactly as described by Cotton, with the logo facing into the roll. In fact, every time the camera is close enough to catch the logo on a roll, the direction is consistent with the logo side of the ball.
Now it could be just that one cueball. Or it could just be a coincidence. But I would bet that after noticing the way the cueball rolled off a few times, that table was checked for level, AND after determining it wasn't the table, the cueball was swapped out with another. There is no way that Cotton was the only one who noticed the way that cueball is rolling off, it's not a subtle roll at all.
