"Skittles" colored ball sets (ala cyclop)

[Nogbert]

Does anyone know of a currently available set of these balls that they recommend? preferably phenolic. there are seemingly many manufacturers that offer this color scheme, but its hard to tell which are crap and which are semi-decent.

thanks!

while those are the same font, the colors are not even close to similar.

I’ve been looking too. Unfortunately there aren’t many options other than buying an old stock set of cyclops balls on eBay or Facebook marketplace. Aramith doesn’t make those colors and the closest dynaspheres set is the Tungsten set, but the 6 and 14 are gray instead of lime green. Dynaspheres did make a set called Carbon with the skittle colors, however it was a lower-grade resin and has since been discontinued. I talked to a dynasphere rep at the expo last weekend and they don’t have any new skittles sets coming out any time soon..

I saw seyberts has the carbon set in stock right now. I know it’s not phenolic/but I do think it’s a better resin than standard polyester

Dynosphere are great and who I would recommend. I have the tungsten and the quality is great. They play great and the price is very reasonable

Yes, this is what I was trying to get across in my earlier post.

From Gemini:
Material Characteristics: Cyclops focuses on an 85% pure phenolic compound. Dynaspheres advertise their "Next Gen" resin as offering better burn resistance, a smoother surface, and higher density (maximum weight deviation of only 1.5 grams/ball).

If you can live with the traditional colors (most cannot live without them, including me), the Dynaspheres Vanadium set is pretty much the best bargain in pool these days...

i already have sets from Dynasphere, Aramith and even centennials. i was asking about this specific color scheme for a reason, not generally asking for pool ball advice.
