So there is no general consensus that these were ever intended to be billiards balls. The theory I proscribe to is they were intended to be used by a newspaper to drop inside 50 gallon drums of news print ink and used to thin the ink out when placed on a vibration stand just like those marbles inside a can of spray paint

The variable sizes coupled with random colors lends credence to this theory over some of the others.

I got these Hyatt Gumballs in today off of eBay and they have a couple sets left. I made an offer much lower than they're asking price and it was accepted pretty quickly.
They seem legitimate but the weights are a bit off. 11 gr. Difference, So I'm curious if anybody else has a set and can tell me if theirs are that far off as well. Thanks

I must live under a rock bcuz I hadn't heard a word about this tournament locally.
An offhand comment made to me by another player at the hall a few days ago asking if I was going was the first I had heard of this.
Nothing on TV or radio, no flyers in the halls.
I guess predator either has such a huge following or they're relying on league 'word of mouth' to put folks in the cheap seats.
The marketing for this event was abysmal. And it's free!!
No wonder these events don't draw the numbers they once did.
