I purchased a set from Muellers but, alas, the balls were of quite poor quality.
A New Pool game...? Yes... Look inside...

I’m still not entirely convinced that this is Jack’s new design, but hopefully we will find out if our detective skills were on point soon.

The design might be different and of interest to collectors, but game wise this sounds exactly like it.
It was eight ball as introduced by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company (BBC Co.) around 1908. It used eight reds and eight yellows along with a black. People figured out you could just play stripes and solids. Same colors as English eight ball (black ball, ultimate pool, etc.) but about a century earlier. The set was brought back briefly around 1980 when the BCA started running national league championships.(BBC Co pool)
I don't. What was it? I'm not googling, 'BBC' at work.
Triball seems to have been on the market for at least five years, so I'm guessing it is unrelated to Jack.
Great information. Thank you!
By the way, Bob, I misread your message at first glance…
I thought you wrote that you were 8 when BBC introduced the set in 1908.

So he's using the name "Triball" when there's already an existing product named Triball that's basically the same thing? I don't know what's going on.
Nothing posted on Kickstarter yet.
It’s rather interesting to look back on all the previous billiard-related campaigns.

Pierre Deveaux’s campaign for his Krom Premiere ball design achieved 28 percent funding which, although ultimately unsuccessful, was actually one of the highest ratings in its category.
