    Pool Ball Collecting.

    These were made by Elephant and come in a box that is made as a carry case with a handle. The ad on the box talks about what a great reaction you will get when you take these to your favorite pool room! 😃

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Just bought this New Old Stock set still in box! Seller accepted $65 offer and I am excited! Been looking for a good set of these for a while and found a BRAND NEW (20 year old) set.

    Vintage Brunswick Centennial Balls

    The new sets of today are a newer formula that is the same as Super Aramith Pro from all I can gather. I had a set of these older ones for over 20 years. They played well until the day I sold them. The only complaint I had was after about 15 years they began to get contact marks with every...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Wow Chuck! I JUST bought a New Old Stock Elephant Stars and Stripes in original box YESTERDAY! I am kicking myself. If I had known these were available I would have been bidding on these for sure! I'm surprised you would let these go since it gives you BOTH a regular and swirl numberless set!

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    There are quite a few substandard sets available but you would likely be unhappy with the quality over time. The only higher quality marbelized set in production right now that I know of is at www.mcdermottcue.com they now have the manufacturing rights to the styles made by Elephant. Their...

    colors

    I saw a set at Biltmore estate from the late 1890's. Same colors, but certainly elegant and stylish for the time. Compared to balls made today though, I'm sure they play very poorly, and on the day they were new they likely didnt look as nice as an average set made today. I enjoy the...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    I know this post is older but I just saw a box of these that had a date on back that said it was trademarked in 1999 I believe. That may answer the original poster's question about the age of the set. Here is the pic

    Family friendly pool near Destin Florida?

    As a former cigar and pipe smoker for decades, I actually enjoy the old school environment. Mrs Piper and Tiny Piper... not so much 😃

    Aramith Black (used)

    Of course keep a watch on Ebay. Got mine barely used good as new in perfect box for $200. Patience is rewarded. Good luck!

    Break cues-a discussion-comments welcome

    I bought a break cue many years ago (Lucasi Big Beaulah II) because I wanted to have a better, faster, more powerful break. My break MAY be a little stronger from the cue with the super hard tip, but the reason I KEEP using the break cue all these years later is that I like a consistent tip on...

    Sorry Fatboy.... the orange 5 is not coming back!

    This is likely. After a while, a "new design" also sells a ton more sets to people who want to be "like the guys on tv!"

    Cue Chalking Crutch

    Thanks for calling me a liar. If you actually read the post, I wrote that it will not usually need reshaping OFTEN. Of course it needs maintainance. This concept also varies between different types of tips and manufacturers. There are different grades of tires as well, that wear at different...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    That's a GREAT question! I have never seen one available ANYWHERE! And that is a shame. I am sure they could sell a LOT of them.

    Carbon fiber shaft question

    For the price I have been very pleased with my J. Flowers cue from All About the Game Room on Facebook. I have not played with one of the expensive big brands so I can't compare.

    dumping the break cue and feel liberated!!!

    LOL... This is a GREAT question! I have a Lucasi BB 2 with a Phenolic tip. Does it make it easier to break with less power and still get a great spread? I have NO IDEA! I slam it as hard as I can every break because I can, and the tip is at least 10 years old and like new. I WILL say this...
