Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

... So I wonder whether the shrink wrapping is done by Amazon on returned purchases to distinguish them from new unopened sets of pool balls of the same brand. ...

In the past, the shrink wrap from Aramith has the Aramith logo/brand printed every two or three inches on the shrink wrap. Evidently, phony ball sets are a large enough problem for them to have gone to that length to show authenticity.

Lukas Verner wins WNT Ranking Event

Bergman has said he plans to play in most WNT events in the US this year. He said he considered going to the European Open but had already committed to an Ultimate Pool event.

This is great to hear. If he does this, he'll have every chance to prove his 9ball pedigree.
jbart65 said:
Yet he also reiterated in a weekend interview he did not like “living out of a suitcase.” Implied he doesn’t like to go to back-to-back events, either.

I am skeptical he will make it to a major overseas event. My guess is the WPC would be the most likely. Or the UK Open.

As noted, there is enough here in American for him to prove his Mosconi Cup worthiness. I don't see his unwillingness to travel overseas as a big problem.
jbart65 said:
If he is really committed simply to trying, he will play in the Florida, Arizona and US opens. But he probably needs to play in a few of the smaller U.S. events, too. We will see.

If he plays in the WNT Florida, US Open 9ball, the Arizona Open and a few other ranking events, he might even have a chance to be an auto qualifier for Team USA.
jbart65 said:
As for the WNT break, sjm, he did get a chance to shoot it at the PLP. And he seemed to do quite well after some adjustment, I seem to recall.

Still, watching him play in the PLP and ongoing Predator event in St. Louis, he shows his absence from the tour with some bad misses on easy shots. He’s look great, then a mistake.

Yes, but if the commitment is there and he is about to start competing a lot as you suggest, the consistency may come at some point. Like many, I hope that's what is coming. Wish him well.

PGA Player Mic'd Up/Pool Why Not?

They did that at least at one tournament. I was surprised how high some heart rates went. It would be interesting to see that again, too.

While we’re at it; let’s see a speed gun, floating cameras (like NFL) and better telestrators. And whatever happened to the ring girls????

I think the heart rate monitor was the tournament in Romania?

They have ring girls at the Chinese 9b tournaments (at least some of them). I think they only come out when there is a break and run or a table run.

Pool Ball Collecting.

A couple of numbered snooker sets--

A late response to UK9Ball’s question regarding numbered snooker balls. I am not certain why there are numbered snooker balls, but I think it must have been an attempt by manufacturers to grow the game. My one time fumbling around a snooker table in the 80’s, all we knew was that you alternated pocketing red balls with the colored balls which you would then replace when pocketed. It wasn’t really snooker, though still engaging. With a little more knowledge, and, numbered balls, I believe it would have been a much more rewarding experience!


(edit). BTW- I see after posting that Hyatt 4 ball is wrong! lol

Leather to Irish linen wrap

TC9Ball
Dave38 said:
Depends on how thick the leather was, or how deep the channel is now. Most linen is about .025" thick, compared to leather that can be .030" and thicker. I have used 5 minute epoxy to coat the whole channel and then re-cut the channel to the proper depth, and have had to use wood veneer applied like a leather wrap, then sand to the proper depth....it really depends.

Unfortunately, I am using a Unique Products, Cue companion Lathe and have no way to cut the channel
