Aramith Duramith balls getting dirty quicker than others?

E
Most of the stuff mentoned above has been covered earlier.

-Restore is not for cleaning balls.
-The pockets of my table were redyed last year, that is most likely where the black marks are coming from.
-Apparently I go too long between cleaning. Not any more now that I have a machine.

The Amazon machine covers every bit of the balls when cleaning. It just isn't agressive enough to remove the black marks. The balls are polished even where the marks are.

Using the alcohol mixture does not leave that "slickness" on the the balls after cleaning that everyone is complaning about.

UP ruins the game.
Winning at pool means pocketing balls not playing the clock. This a disaster.
And handicapping rotation games by games ahead will never work, 99.9% of the time, the stronger players will win.
Adding sin upon sin, the bar box is a joke.

The 8ball shootout semi final and final had 18 break and run out, don’t tell me that bar box 8ball is harder than 9ft.
Let’s see these guys beat Filler on a 9ft.

It’s fun just as much as grabbing a house cue in a bar while having a few drinks and knocking some balls but when you want to play seriously, you’ll go to a pool hall and play on a 9ft.
This is the end of pool as we know it.

Actually this has been pool as we know it for many years. There's probably 10 players playing on small bar tables around the country for every own that plays in a pool room.

My problem was the rules they are playing by. You take a player who can hardly play, give them a big spot, Set a time limit, and they're only motive is the stall the game till they can run out the clock with the lead they started with To win. That is utterly ridiculous.

I went back and watched some of it fast forwarding and saw one where the player actually just stood there with his back turned watching the clock till it was time to shoot not even attempting to pocket a ball.

Not a car wax, actually I found car wax will leave collision marks. The place with the new tables, one of our league players cleans the balls and I asked him what was up as there was a dramatic change. He told me the brand of cleaner he started using but I forgot by the time I got home. The balls we use for league there, are not shared for general play as we have our own locker for them. I thought it was Porper or something. I'll ask again. They really have that same feel as the ball at our friends house that we occasionally shoot at, she uses a Ballstar and cleans them after every use. They look incredible but you can barely hang on to them when picking them out of the pockets. Also any draw shot you do is about 3-4 times as long as normal till you get used to them.

She's using too much product. On the Ballstar, you should only dampen the sponge and not apply excess product on the balls themselves.

BCA sold the league to CSI. There isn't a BCA league anymore. It would be called BCAPL and is run by CSI which uses Fargo to handicap the leagues. So I have no idea what these other posters are talking about. Maybe some old timers holding out. idk.

This is absolutely correct [USAPL is also owned by CSI], but in the context of league discussions it is still a common practice to refer to BCAPL as "BCA".
