    This stuff works amazingly well on cleaning and polishing balls

    Google image search shows both bottles. I was just wondering if there is any difference in the solution between them. I got a bottle about a year ago that doesn't have the "made for Phenolic" on it.

    This stuff works amazingly well on cleaning and polishing balls

    I didn't want to start a new thread, but this seems like the appropriate place to ask this. I have noticed that the aramith ball cleaner has two different bottles that look virtually the same, except on has additional writing on the bottom that says specifically for phenolic balls. Is this...

    Viking joins Carbon “fever”

    I played with a LD shaft for about 2 years prior to last month and I switched to the Revo about 2 weeks ago. I can say it has mildy improved my game because I don't have to hit the ball as hard to get the needed action on the cue ball, therefore making more balls that might normally rattle the...

    cue component doing shady stuff beware

    I am new to putting tips on with a lathe, been doing it by hand for years. I bought some Lepro tips from him to practice with and thought I was doing something really wrong because they pretty much disintegrated when trying to shape them with the radius trimmer. I got some Lepro tips from...

    Ball return versus drop pockets

    If opening a new room, why not have some of each table and allow the customer to choose a table based on their preferences.

    Question on balls

    You need to go by the Excl tax price of 195.83 Euro's which works out to $222.09 USD. Also make sure you are looking at the regular Tournament balls and not the Pro Cup TV set (which is more expensive).

    Question on balls

    So I took the gamble and ordered a set of the Aramith Tournament balls from the Kozoom site. Well the gamble paid off, the balls were delivered today and they are perfect. I can't believe how fast the shipping (DHL) was on these. I ordered them on August 11th and they arrived on the 14th. They...

    Predator Revo 12.4 White Vault Plate 3/8 X 10 Joint

    Predator Revo 12.4 White Vault Plate 3/8 X 10 Joint [SOLD] I am selling my practically brand new Revo Shaft. I just got this delivered yesterday and played about 10 - 15 racks with it. The reason I am selling is because the joint diameter doesn't match up very well to my cue so I decided to...

    MIke Sigel's perfect stroke

    In my case, I was over compensating trying to keep the cue level. Instead of raising my whole cue up to hit high the cue ball I was pivoting my back hand down as far as I could to raise the tip. Fixing my bridge to a higher level allowed me to hit higher on the cue ball without dropping my back...

    Aramith Premium vs. Premier Balls

    Yes, the Premium set uses a better quality phenolic resin that is much less prone to leaving burn marks on the table.

    Question on balls

    I actually have the price on that site set to USD (you can change in the upper left hand corner). There is a price that says excl tax's for $222.09 USD. That is the price in the cart once you start the checkout and put in a US address. I assume that the excl price means tax excluded since they...

    Question on balls

    Sorry to bump an old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one. I am looking at that kazoom site and I it looks like you can get a set of Aramith Tournament balls for 222.09USD shipped. Am I missing something here? Is there some sort of tax that's going to get added on that I am missing...

    We're cyclop balls replaced by dynasphere? Any reviews on dynasphere?

    The pictures of the balls in that comparison don't match the official dynasphere website. On the website, the gold and silver sets look almost identical and the tungsten isn't even listed. The pictures on this thread show a very distinct difference between the gold / silver. Either there...

    Kim Davenport vs Jimmy Mataya

    Thanks, everything good here. A lot of people without power, but fortunately I am not one of them this time. PS -- I saw someone say that table was playing slow, I thought just the opposite, At least the early matches its looks fairly lively.

When I read this last night I wondered if this tidibit of info would help me. a couple of months ago I made it a goal to start playing with a more level cue as part of improving my fundamentals. I have since...

    Upgrade to 9' Diamond?

    That is a really good price on a 9ft diamond pro. I would take that even without any rails :) There are really two main styles of diamonds, the red label and blue label. The red label are the older style that most agree they bank short. The blue labels are the upgraded version of the red...

    Upgrade to 9' Diamond?

    I tried making a table play like a diamond in the past and it didn't work well for me, i ended up buying a diamond. I will say I used pocket facings to change the pocket size, not having new rails built. Once you pay for the new rails and all the other stuff you want done you might be getting...
