Never shot with such a great set of balls before (no pun intended), Seriously I'm in love. They roll almost to true that it makes the game almost seem easier. I can recommend these to anyone they are simply IMO The best! :thumbup:
 
Same here, I've owned two sets, one for my pool table when I lived with my parents and just bought one for my pool table at my house. My favorite is the measles cue ball, very easy to see what english you are putting on the ball. Haven't tried the newer Aramith Tournament Balls, but I'm very happy with the Super Pro Cup TV balls.
 
Agreed I hear they out last centennials any day of the week not to mention the price!

But from what ive heard there isent any big change from the pros to the tournament ones.

Where did you hear this stuff?

The Aramith Super Pros are the exact same ball as the Brunswick Centennials. Both are made by Saluc using the exact resin, processes, standards and specs. Says so right on Saluc's website. The ONLY difference is the graphics. Of course, the TV set comes with the measles ball, but it too is the same as the red logo ball that comes with the traditional Super Pros and the blue circle ball that comes with the Cents.

There in fact is a major change from the Super Pros to the Tournaments. The Tournaments are made from an entirely different and new resin called Duramith. They are said to be more durable and kinder to the bed cloth.

All this information comes from Saluc themselves.
 
Maybe he's referring to the Centennials that Hyatt Billiard Ball company made for Brunswick. I heard Hyatt gave up the pool business to Saluc because they couldn't compete on price, quality, and the shrinking market. Same with Brunswick, pool isn't as profitable as their other divisions.

i have a set of the TV pro balls and they are nice but i have been reading the same thing about the tournaments so i will buy a set to see for myself if they extend the life of the cloth it would be great and i also like the way the tournaments look but i will keep my measles cue ball :thumbup:

Obviously it all comes down to opinion, but ive been reading around and people say they have moved to Aramith from Brunswick for a reason. Main reason is prolly the price point, but like I said Ive also (heard) the Aramith pros out live the Centennials... Same material or not its just what ive heard.
 
When you say the Tournament balls extend the life of the cloth do you mean less burn marks or does the Super Pros actually wear out the cloth? I had a set of Super Pro TV balls in college with Simonis Green 860 and it was fine besides the burn marks but they didnt affect playability.
 
Aren't burn marks caused by the cue ball? How can an object ball cause burn marks to the cloth? My cloth has plenty of burn marks but its from applying draw and stun to the CB on repeated shots when I practice drills.

Both burn marks and general wear, I guess. I have a set but haven't used them nearly long or often enough to comment on Aramith's claims:

With the Duramith™ Technology, the Aramith resins
entered their 4th generation. With a totally overhauled
resin formulation with new hi-tech reticulation, crosslinking
and curing technologies, the Aramith products now
set a new benchmark in quality, durability & longevity,
increasing their service life up to 50% during which :

- their through-hardened vitried surface and core holds
their glossy look

- their specications, rebound and playing consistency
throughout the set is maintained all along
- the cloth wear and white marks that so easily ruin the
look of the table are minimized
- their friction resistance minimizes burn spots as well.

Certainly the CB is responsible for most burn marks from breaking and hard draw shots etc. But just as the cue ball can cause a burn mark from a stun shot, any OB that is hit hard enough that is is sent skidding first can probably also create sufficient friction to discolor the cloth. Also, it is the object balls that are mostly responsible for the wear that typically shows around the rack area and along the rails.

All balls slide before they start to roll. Doesn't matter if it is the CB being struck by the cue or the OB being struck by the CB. The friction from the slide causes the burn. The wear tracks from the rack is because of the balls sliding. The tracks by the rail are caused from rail and bank shots. Theory is that the Duramith uses a finer polymer and that reduces the friction or wear on the cloth. An example would be like rubbing 80 grit sandpaper on the cloth as opposed to 1000.
