It's not if you drop it, it's when. After contacting the ball it doesn't matter.

That’s not really true anymore lol there is plenty beside them doing well living off of pool. It’s not easy though . It’s not like golf where you can barely be good enough to make the cut and still be a millionaire

What is there if you're a touring pro? Im sure they'd love to know

Yep, full time job is the answer. Other than Shane and Fedor nobody in the US can live by being a touring pro.

I bought a couple sets over the years and honestly don't think they all came shrink wrapped. I can't remember 100%, but I vaguely recall when receiving I was surprised there was no shrink wrap.

I bought brand new from one of the good retailers, either Seyberts or JoeRackEm, I forget now... An Aramith Super Pro Value set maybe around 2008 (came with the Rempe ball and the ball polish cream and cloth), and a Duramith Tournament Set (about 10-15 years ago when they first came out, and the CB was not spotted, it only had one logo on it, before the spotted CB TV set came out).
