The Super Pro on Seyberts is just $245.86. I would get them over the Tournament Balls.

Why do you say that? I thought ball number was irrelevant in 14.1 and one hole?

I like the way they look
If anyone were to do a close-up inspection and side-by-side comparison of the Tournaments to the Super Pros after even one day of play, they would quickly and easily see the differences between the latest Duramith technology that Aramith has employed on the Tournaments to the older Super Pros or even the beautiful Brunswick Centennials.
Scuff marks and chalk marks that take a commercial ball polisher is all that one needs to keep those Pros looking new - while the Tournaments keep on blinding you with their sheen and give less skidding at the same time....a bonus you could say
I fully understand that if "looks" are important, by all means buy the less expensive Pros - but if performance AND looks make you work those balls like you truly own them, well then - there really is no option is there? IMO of course
On a side note, would anyone want a perfectly like-new and literally flawless side-by-side tested only set of Centennials for a mere $225 shipped?

Fair enough. Me too actually. I think the Centennials are the nicest looking, followed by the SAP, followed by the Aramith Tournament. They all play awesome. For what it's worth, I for one actually like the look of the cyclops balls a lot.

This is interesting. So you are saying the Tournament set resists scuff marks, miscue marks, etc. better than the rest? I mean I suppose that was the point. This actually would make a big difference to me. I remember one year at the Super Billiards Expo back in Valley Forge, one section of tables had the Tournament balls on them. Wow they sure did play nice!

There were used sets floating around, not long ago, on here for $75.00 plus shipping.
Yeah, it's not about what number the ball is but where the numbers are located.
The stripes on the Cents are unbroken and have no numbers or other graphics in the striped area. In games like Straight Pool and One Hole where balls are spotted and spot shots are part of the game, this allows you to spot the ball on the number with the other number facing straight up and the stripe along the horizontal equator going all the way around. Because the stripe is free of any numbers, circles or other graphics, this leaves no reference point on the spotted ball for aiming when shooting a spot shot. It's why I learned to spot a ball this way - always with the numbers facing straight up and down. :thumbup:
The Aramith Super Pro and Tournament sets don't allow for this with the 9-15 because the graphics on the stripes of those balls provide a potential reference for aiming.

Yes, I'd say the Tournaments for sure resist scuff marks and chalk marks far better than any other Aramith set to-date and significantly better than the Centennials, which show ball-to-ball contact and scuff marks after just one rack under good lighting.
BTW, Both colors of the Cyclop ball sets resist scuff and chalk marks even better than the Aramith Tournaments.
