Measle balls in practice

[JABSolstice]

I have the red and the black. Just like the above, I do like the feel of the black better, but that could be because the red is probably 15+ years old now and the black one is newish.

The biggest thing I get from practice is long stop shots to see if I'm adding unintentional L/R spin. Other than that, it doesn't really do a whole lot.

The Aramith Tournament black measel ball is Duramith. The red measel/Diamond blue measel/Predator black triangle are all SAP.

I think the spinning dots are information that your brain can use even if you don’t know how and even if you don’t consciously see it. Our brains are smarter than we are.

You don’t think we learn subconsciously?

The red one alwas felt "light" to me for some reason and looked bigger than the other balls...maybe an optical illusion because of the spots.

Red is lighter only has 3 letters.

Well, the black dots seem easier to see.

And my unscientific feeling is that the black plays a bit harder than the red. I always felt the red, for whatever reason, played like it was a of a softer composition.

I've heard the same from other players, notably Bergmann who was playing with a black just a few weeks ago.
