Why does this have to be a carom ball and not a cb?
Best measles ball?
- Thread starter Willowbrook Wolfy

In some carom games it is a cue ball. And a carom ball. A cue ball. A carom ball. (<-- Chinatown ref. for the movie buffs.)
As in using it with pool balls?
It is the wrong size, for starters. It is also red.

The pool hall I play at now has some that are a few years old and there are flat spots on every red dot on all the cue balls. I test them by gently rolling them and every single time they settle on the red spot. You can nudge the cue ball and watch it settle onto the red spot.. Every single one does that which tells me all I need to know about the measles balls there. I have no idea why they do it but assume the issue lies in the manufacture of the red material itself. It is obvious something is wrong with them as they age as it is occuring with them all.. Does the pool hall care, hell no, they have not even cleaned the toilets in two months!!
They might be knock-offs. My place used to have one or two real Aramith's and they both rolled fine after 5-6yrs of play. Both got stolen and they didn't replace them. All red-circles now. They suck.
That could certainly be true and probably likely really.. Do you mean the red circles suck or the measles balls? I have always liked the red circle balls...
I've never liked the RC's. Like BlueCircle, measels, or the Aramith red-logo.
if you love ccarom balls so much you should just play carom already.
Chinese knock offs. Readily available on eBay.
What can they do? They even make knock off sets of Super Pro's and Tournaments
Buy from an authorized retailer, people!
But on the topic of counterfeits: who in the fuk would choose to make fake billiards equipment? Would ity not make more sense to make scissors or socks or even lighters...something with a far larger potential market?
Yup.
Who knows but someone is doing it.

Oh,I did not mean to imply there were no Billiards counterfeits, but I just really really do not see why in heaven's name someone would devote so much resource to such a small-need product.Yup.

I also do not understand how people live in Finland or Alaska, but they obviously do!
"so much resource"??? There is a factory in China that makes these balls already. There is no startup cost in developing your own process. Does the logo on the box look strangely familiar to anyone?
Hmmm. Cyclop colors. Hmmm.
You mean the same place making both the actual and fake products?
I've told this here before, but I used to work for a place that sold cycling clothes under its own brand name. Contracted factories would send us our 500,000 units and then keep their machines running for another 200k units.
The extras probably sat around until it was determined we weren't going to ask for them, then they got sold without our involvement.
Identical products, only one set 'authorized'.
Close but not same logo. These are straight-up copies/knock-offs. What do you expect for 60bux?

I actually learned a game like carom. I don’t know what it’s called. Align 3 balls in the middle. 2 on the spots 1 in middle. You have to have 2 contacts to score a point. Each additional contact is a point. If you pocket a ball and make contact it is 2. You have to have a 2 pointer or bigger to win. Or can call for a make 2 pointer for win. When a ball is pocketed it returns to its spot. Your turn ends when you don’t score. It’s pretty fun actually. A little change of pace.
It's called Taiwanese Carom.

But do you use the cb as a cb? I forgot to add that. It actually sounds even more fun without cb
