How often do you guys buy new sets? I'm going on 5 years with my Super Aramith Pros. Just wondering when you guys usually upgrade.
Depends on how many miles are on them (how often you play) The condition of the tables you play on (how often they're cleaned) How often the balls are cleaned and polished.
With my 3C balls I kinda have a spec where if they're .5mm or so under sized, its time for retirement.
Go to Harbor Freight or Amazon and purchase a digital caliper. About $12-$15 and measure them.
If they're still in spec but you don't like how they play, its likely they just need a good cleaning and polishing. Use both Aramith Restorer then the Cleaner.
BTW the CB will need to be renewed more often. It will wear faster since its the most used ball.
