Why doesn't Aramith do a better job with proof of authenticity with their packaging?

S
It is quite well known that there are Aramith imitation / fake pool balls out there. Aramith even has the following warning on their website:

aramith.com

Beware of imitations | Aramith - The best billiard balls

While most other phenol-like and polyester balls try to imitate the look and/or packaging of the Aramith product line, none offers the quality of Aramith resin. Beautiful in the box, most look quite different only a few hours later. Some have variances in the resin use in the different parts of...

So why doesn't Aramith do a better job with proof of authenticity with their packaging? Adding a security hologram to a package is pennies on the dollar. Also, Aramith should package all of their cue balls (again, adding a security sticker) as Aramith branded red circle cue balls are still showing up in Amazon reviews (with pictures) being more yellowish / darker than the usual more whitish authentic ones.

Holy moly this Lopotko guy plays slower than a Hennessy Raulito scotch doubles team.

Edit: I searched his name in this forum and the only notable thread that came up was one of AtLarge's posts where he noted that Lotopko was in both the longest match and the match w the highest minutes per inning in the 2026 SBE pro event 😂

Super late to the discussion, but Ive tried schmelke kiel, Hsu 1.0, lucasi cf infuzed kiel.
The lucasi seemed to have the least deflection, but was lacking feel. It has more feel than cf shafts minus the fortis, but vs'ing the other kiels I tried & Ld maple I got (wx900, z3) its feedback is muted. Despite that ,its a really good stiff playing shaft once you get accustomed to it.
I actually prefer it over the z3 because its less whippy, thats saying alot , because I was team z2&z3 for over a decade.

I was using the old Jacoby Hybrids bought 2nd hand. The best playing shaft I had was one that was turned down a little and had a little flex in it. I think that shaft with just a little more flex would have been perfect, but I went back to the regular maple. I intend on doing a little back and forth on the former playing shaft Hybrid, but I tried that once recently and its a whole new thing. Not sure I want to go there for the time being.
