Your set seems to have lost their shine, possibly from the use of the Magic Eraser. This is a set from the 70's cleaned in my ball polisher with a solution of 8 oz. 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to 3 tablespoons Aramith Ball Cleaner.

Your 70’s balls have nice gloss! They are pretty yellow( no knock just stating facts). I personally have an unplayed old set (not sure how old exactly) that’s extremely yellow. Probably sat in a pool hall/ billiard supply for years soaking up nicotine.

I think guys get after it with the Magic erasers to get the balls whiter again.
Had to ask, do you think a set that’s been “cleaned” with a magic eraser could get its shine back? Say using different grit products appropriate to the task in one of the cheap polishers (replaceable cup) models on Amazon as an option?
I used to polish polyester counter surfaces. Takes multiple steps like many polish jobs. just got curious reading the thread if it could be done with balls.

Too many egos don’t realize you’ve thought more about some of these things than most ever care to. Thanks and thanks for documenting your experiences/ journey.

Talking with George Michaels the other day about these two playing golf and bettin high each hole, woofing and goin' at it with their caddie in tow.
Later in the round the caddie had to leave them before rounds end.
Then the caddie came back up to the two of em, pulled a gun to rob em.
Hubert usually carried 3 guns.
During the holdup Titanic fell to the ground in pain, distracting the man for just a moment, titanic pulled out His gun and killed shot em dead.

Glad you’re still in touch with George, Bill!
He gave me an amazing interview in Vegas.
Here’s a still from the footage.

A bad pairing.

Is there a rule preventing her from teaming up with another top level women's player?

Either way, I don't see the big deal, Seoa is excellent and Savannah has been a better doubles partner than I expected.

15 Ball Rotation Pool was Efren's strong suit. It was The money game in the Philippines. He dominated to the extent that he had to go to billiards to get action.
In the practice room before the Reno 9 ball Efren was playing rotation. A player started woofiing to play Straight pool. Efren ran 2 racks in rotation and inquired, "are you shure you want to play Straight pool?"

I appreciate!

Whoever this player is has the eight ball and he has to wear his glasses

My favorite comedian, I miss him everyday. Saw him once live in Philly. Little more profane in person.
