Thanks for the info, appreciate knowing the quality of the original sets. I thought about using stripes and solids and that might be the only option if I can't locate an original set.

I picked up a new set of Aramith Crowns and they look and play beautifully. The group keeps asking me how long it took me to polish them to get them so shiny. The set is our new standard set and everyone likes the way they play. They say the crowns are made the same as the Premier set, but the...

I noticed a post here about the game of Starball and it looked interesting. Does anyone know if the ball set for this game is still available anywhere?

Welcome, nice to have your own table right in your house to practice on anytime. Take advantage of it and you will not only improve but have fun while you do.

The balls we currently play with now have been with the table at our club house for the past 18 years, so I'm not sure what they are. The HOA was going to sell the table because nobody used it until we started a group that plays weekly. I understand what you are saying about lessons on...

I thought that Aramith were rated very high amongst pros and in tournaments, but never heard of Dynasphere before and was surprised that they were rated as high as Aramith. I am not playing in any leagues or tournaments at present because, unfortunately, I don't feel that I am at a level to be...

You're lsted as a pool ball collector which peaks my interest because I too am a collector and recently started a very small collection of billiard balls. I am a history buff and so obviously wanted to start a collection of every type of billiard ball from the beginning on to the most recent...

Absolutely, the main objective is to have fun and keep going. Not everyone can or will be great players, but just getting out there and playing is what matters. Never give up and never say never.

Thanks for all of the information, I am going to check more into the Dynasphere balls. Always thought that Aramith was the top of the line used in most tournaments, but obviously that may not be the case. A lot to learn about this game of pool, that's why I'm so glad I joined this forum.

Was not aware of Dynasphere balls before, only Aramith, but from all of the posts, I am going to research them a bit more.

Following up on my earlier posts about Aramith balls, I was wondering what others thought about the Continental and the Crown seta of Aramith balls. I believe the Continental is an earlier set than the Crown, but both are on the lower end of their series of balls. Even though they may be on the...

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

No box just each ball wrapped in plastic. From all the replys I may have a fake, although they play and sound amazing compared to the regular set we had been playing with. I think we are going to use these for a while to see how they hold up and eventually I can get a real set of Aramiths. I...

Thank you, never participated in any forums before, but thought I might try this one. I must say that it is nice chatting with others who share your passion, as well as tapping into the wealth of knowledge that is out there. Glad to be a part of this forum.

How can you tell for certain that a ball is am Aramith or not? Is there some way to know for sure?
