Does anyone know of a currently available set of these balls that they recommend? preferably phenolic. there are seemingly many manufacturers that offer this color scheme, but its hard to tell which are crap and which are semi-decent.

thanks!

I have a used but well maintained set of Cyclop Hyperions.

We have moved and the distance made transport of my 24 year old cheap furniture table more than it was worth so I am in the market for an 8ft table for my new space. Of course I would LOVE to get a top tier brand, but it's double or more the cost of the lower end "Billiard Store" tables. I am not and will never be a pro level player. Fargo just over 400. Love the game and league play, but want a good value for a home table that mostly only I ever touch.

Thoughts? Thanks for the honest recommendations.

I might check facebook marketplace. Where I am, a guy was selling a 9-foot Gandy for $400. If I had room for it, I would 've bought it to fix up as a "beater" / straight pool table.

You really want to admit to that?

If you frequent the hood as often as you claim you are likely to find yourself with bullet hole in your head sooner or later if you don't. With your wealth of experience how many shootings have been in the middle, must be more than me because I avoid bad areas when possible.

The real question here is why does this trigger you so badly??

I think a ref's knowledge of, understanding of, and experience with applying the rules is much more important than playing ability.

True. Maybe there is high turnover cannot get folks to take on this thankless job or the ref training system not working
I mean PBS brought in so called EPBF refs in previous event but still those refs blundered big time with countless lag-gate controversies, cannot apply rules consistently. More boo boos than Lisa https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/dumbest-tournament-rule-ever.562457/post-7765351
