Depends how low on the shot setup you get. My friend followed an older snooker player and had them made like this:

Here is the handicap summary from last Monday's 9 ball match (I did not play, I am a 556): Given the Fargo Handicap Table attached as an image and the teams below, each player's handicap is shown to the right of their Fargo rating: Team A (us) 430 : 0 483 : 3 500 : 4 503 : 4 summed total...

<resurrecting an old thread here> Just a tip to all league operators out there, do not use a handicap system that adjusts at the team level by awarding overall frame / match game wins or points towards the overall team match for the night. I am playing in a rotating 8, 9 and 10 ball season BCA...

Basically, like any sport or skilled activity, have a willingness to learn / listen to develop a skilled technique and have the desire to practice that correctly plus wanting to win. Kind of a major DUH...

I like this cue ball from them with my Bronze / Vanadium set: https://seyberts.com/collections/dynasphere-ball-sets/products/dynaspheres-rhodium-572-cue-ball-6-black-triangles

Do a two beverage or one meal minimum per league player per night? That way you are only making an additional request for the league players that just drink water, or don't order anything at all, while the rest of the league players are supporting you as you expect?

With all the talk of tolerances and weight, plus the somewhat related thread here: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/red-circle-aramith-cue-balls.587951/ It does seem (comparing visually) that the red circle Aramith cue ball is slightly smaller and plays differently than my Dynaspheres...

Yes, the red circle Aramith cue balls are the standard here in western Washington state also. Too bad they only work in tables that are not bar boxes or only when the bar boxes return trays are open, which usually means free / league / tournament pool.

I've ordered from this store before for a group sale on the Dynaspheres Rhodium cue balls: https://store.kozoom.com/en/dynaspheres-pool-billiard-balls-titan-572.html?srsltid=AfmBOorm2L-TVWzsbAS6yUPZROs_k0ke6he2qDDUZjbRuur_SGZ-NLSD The pre order price on the Titan's is 307.50 euros ($352.91)...

Looking for one given they seem quite the quality cue for the price, they are similar to SW cues (like my Carmeli and Jim Pierce cues), and I'm pretty sure they use the Jacoby / SW weight bolt system (also like my Carmeli and Jim Pierce, given I really like forward weighted cues). The rub is I...

sure, for about 2x the money and Aramith plays the pay more get better resin while Dynaspheres offers the same high quality resin throughout the large majority of their line...

Yes to same initial size spec, but the variance on the size is tighter on the Rhodium / Bronze given no variance is listed for the Challenger (otherwise, they should list it for the Challenger). Either way, I'll continue to pay more for the Rhodium given I like the cue ball and consistent...

From the Dynaspheres website: Challenger: Size 57,2mm Weight 169 grams +/-1,0g Rhodium / Bronze: Size 57,2 mm +/- 0,08mm Weight 169 grams +/- 1,0 gram
