Hyundais are dependable.

I have one I bought new in 2011 and it is still going and has had no major repairs.

I bought another new one last year.

I'm just saying this because I ran Auto/Truck shops repair shops for 17 yrs. Drove Volvos for 41 yrs straight, because the Engines Never Wore out. if you changed your oil. If the engine in the car has been around for minimum 5 yrs straight, and used in many different models that's my base line. Like one style Ford engine.... a 4.6 V8, is was produced for 24 yrs straight, that tells me something. Mustangs, Crown Vics, Explorers etc all had this core engine. If the Hynudai has engines that have been in many models for Many yrs, then its a good drivetrain. I just read something on national news about some of the newer Hyundai models where a backyard mechanic is Unable to change their front brake pads unless they buy hardware for a few thousand to do the job. That's not good.

the bronze set and the vanadium which i think is the same but different cue ball. are as good and play as well as any other set ever made.
and both can be still found less than 150 bucks if you search.

It'll be interesting if they hold up long term in rooms that have allot of play. If they do, like zar said, a game changer for ball maker$.
I've only seen one ball set of centennials wear out in my lifetime, at 38th and Sheridan in Denver.
It was the first room in to have Gold Crown I's and it was the table Danny Medina played on ALLOT.
They also had two 5x10 snooker tables.
Even Omaha Fats hung out there yrs ago.

They hold up just fine as my set has be used for 4 different league sessions plus regular daily play at 2 different locations.
 
Those Chinese made products have always confused me, they put out like 3 brands with 6 different versions of what looks like the same thing, then a few years later re-do it all with new names, with the product still looking the same with the same build design.

That doesn’t even make sense but I always said the measle ball plays heavy compared to a red circle but they weigh the same soooo lol

I think it's the elasticity and hardness of the construction. When the Aramith Tournament set first came out, it was clearly the "heaviest" playing ball set, you had to have a decent stroke to move that cueball around. The measles ball and the other Aramith cue balls were more livelier, even though the weight and size were the same.
 
When you say the heaviest set, how did you determine that other than by hefting the balls?
If you weighed them , was there a insistent average and how does that compare with Aramith
measle cue balls? I know there is a lot of forum members that have weighed different brands.
Nonetheless, I don’t recall much variance in weight of Aramith Tournament or Super Pro and
Brunswick Centennials with any of the Aramith measle cue balls based on the many posts
about pool ball weights. Nonetheless, if the cue ball is not known to you, don’t assume it is
weight matched with the object balls in a pool room tournament. Orig. measle cue balls are OK.

His butt dyno (if you don't know what it is, look it up) is broken.

so his weighing is off as it is subjective. if that is what you mean. at least what you said.

but anyway just weighing a few maybe even a bunch of sets only gives you a vague idea of real weights.
as the scale is always in question and the process of weighing is as well.
along with possibly a biased idea of wanting your own conclusions on the tests.

possibly one manufacturer also degrading certain sets so as to increase sales of their specialty ones.

in the end, hardly anyone's game is going to be degraded because of the brand of balls they use. other than in their mind.

A butt dyno is judging torque/speed of a car by feel vs testing on a dynamometer. Weight is not subjective. If you jump on the scale, you weigh what you weight regardless of what you tell yourself or how you feel.

All sets in my "test" were done on the same scale, using the same method so if the scale or method was off, it was off by equal amounts for each set I weighed. I had no preconceived notions when weighing them; just thought it would be an interesting comparison. Regardless of personal feel or bias, the scale doesn't lie. The data here in addition to playing with each of the sets formed my opinion Dynaspheres are the most consistent ball sets amongst my test subjects. Your mileage (and opinion for that matter) may vary but others have shared similar results when weighing sets.
