I don’t know why those balls were on the poster really, Mr B, because we only ever played with a plain red and yellow casino set.

Many years ago a bar used to employ me once a week to play thirty-six racks of 8 Ball against all challengers. Anyone who beat me won a beer. I went unbeaten a few times.

Hello, Side Pocket. I have about sixty pool ball sets, sir. It is not a particularly large collection in terms of quantity, but I flatter myself in thinking it includes some exceedingly rare and desirable examples. My personal sphere of interest is the late twentieth century from the 1960s to...

In my view Dynasphere will soon overtake Aramith and become the dominant force in global pool ball manufacture… if they haven’t done so already. The folks in charge are super smart and super aggressive in a business sense.

Absolutely wonderful acquisitions to display alongside your fabulous pool ball collection, Mr L. Thank you so much for sharing that photograph, dear fellow. Those blocks are fascinating artefacts of billiard history. Look at the superb craftsmanship!

Welcome to the forum, sir. 👍

Hello, Carl. First time seeing that set for me. Thank you for sharing the pictures, sir.

Hello, PB. My Snooker Plus set is undoubtedly from Aramith’s Premier range. Twenty-two of the balls were in the regular green box, with the orange and purple handed to me separately. I also have a set of unused Raschig snooker balls… arguably the best ever made.

Where on Earth did you find that beautiful set, PB? A lot of us have been seeking those for a long time, sir. That is a great acquisition!

How strange, sir! I cannot explain it.

A set of Romanique II listed this morning… sold before I even saw it. A new record price as far as I’m aware.

Great photographs, HKC. Thank you! 🙏

No, I don’t think he did reply now I try to recall.

I tried to persuade the seller to ship those Raschigs, too, dear chap. It is indeed a very low price… a similar set sold on eBay very recently for $560 plus shipping. Good luck, sir. I hope you find someone willing to help.
