I guess we’ll see re: packaging when the one from Seybert’s arrives. If the RC from Amazon looks exactly the same, weighs the same, has the same diameter, and appears to play the same, it suppose I could keep it, since it never hurts to have a spare/polished CB handy.
I’m just wondering how good those (Chinese?) ‘knock-offs’ (mentioned in the previous post) were? If a counterfeit is totally undetectable, does it really matter if it’s not authentic?
BTW: If the Belgian RC is truly a unique composition, shouldn’t that result in a detectable difference in play (from other Aramith CBs), or would wear be the only factor?
