We've done that a few times for skeptical bangers.pool room balls get so much more play and do get smaller. they have to. usually the cue ball is by far the worse. line it up against the rail with two of the higher numbered balls and see the difference. put our cue across them.
Funny, never thought about new balls and speed. I mean, you know when there is new cloth and you figure the balls get cleaned every so often.They are lively!!
Forced to reign in the horses, so to speak. It was getting …and distance threw me for a bit….
LAs for the Pred balls i think you're over-reacting, the only difference in the design is the cat logo on one side. NO way to get the balls confused.

Was watching a US Open match with Bergman vs Mellng and Mark Wilson got to talking about abrasions on the balls over time that you don’t see even after cleaning. He said that new balls roll 10 percent farther.
The numbers in my set appear slightly blurry if seen from an angle, but for the price, it's a no brainer.I agree they play very nice. However, the color blind guys on my team would disagree with you on the confusion. I have to watch both of them very carefully to make sure they don't play at the wrong ball, as the colors seem to blend together and the numbers are only on one side.
I have no clue what he's talking about as to the colors. Predator Arcos2 balls(https://seyberts.com/products/preda...ol-ball-set-by-aramith?variant=41732787798214) use same classic colors as Aramith balls, big surprise since that's who makes them. Now, that being said the earlier Arcos1 balls were made by Cosmos and they DID make a tv ball set with the pink4,etc. Just like these but with the cat logo on one side:http://www.cosmosbilliard.com/bbs/b...rd.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=sub02_2&wr_id=1The numbers in my set appear slightly blurry if seen from an angle, but for the price, it's a no brainer.
I can't imagine the handicap being color blind would be.
Hmm.... That gives me an idea!!!![]()

Aramith balls are same colors. Why would these be any different? Are you saying that any ball set colors jacks with them? That i can see but not just the Dyna's. Makes me even more glad my vision is 5x5 normal.The 7 and 5 are the same shade of grey to a lot of people. Get unfortunate with how the numbers hide themselves and it's a recipe for unpleasantness.
My home spot has OLD Centennials and the cb and 1b in every set is SMALL.The balls at one of the halls I play are smaller than regulation. Not much, 3-4 mms or so, but I have to compensate for it.
Perhaps they have worn down over time, use, polishing, etc ... My thoughts being they might be 2nds.
Hall owners need to cut costs anyway they can and if my rep came in and told me he had 20 sets of phenolic seconds but they run slightly smaller, I'd be seriously tempted.
League players won't notice the diff. Heck, they can make more balls on barboxes if the balls are smaller.
Now there's a thot!!
Perhaps this owner is smarter than given credit for.![]()
Thanks for that. Was beginning to think my eyes finally turned the corner.My home spot has OLD Centennials and the cb and 1b in every set is SMALL.
I don't pay much attention to the color debate.I have no clue what he's talking about as to the colors.
