Just saw a set sell on Ebay Sunday for $275! One idea might be can we get a group order for just the 4, 12, 7 & 15 as an add on for the standard set? All the others are the regular balls and who here doesn't already own at least 1 set of centennials! 😄

I hadn't thought about customs. That is a good point.

This set did not come with the templates. I wondered if someone pilfered those?

Or maybe this one! :-)

Thank you for posting the album link. StarBall is a fun game. I don't own the set, but have played the game with existing balls and some coin markers.

Yes this is also called "Saratoga" I believe and a special set of solid 1-6 and stripe 1-6 numbers with a black end ball and a cue ball. If you throw in the purple 5 ball it would be an even better ending! :-)

This may be the same seller. They were on Ebay for $69.99 listed as NEW with an "Or Best Offer" option. I offered $50.00 and they shipped for free. It's interesting how people complain about the color. The odd colors are the very REASON I bought them! :-) That, to me, is what pool ball...

Well here is your friendly neighborhood Cheapskate Collector with his latest find. I haven't yet seen this set on the thread... Dynaspheres Tungsten The internet ad said "Brand New" The seal on the box was broken. The box was taped up with packing tape and had dirty greasy looking handprints on...

Good point. I play in pristine tournament conditions at home. Clean table, good cloth, clean like new balls. I play almost exclusively among a group of friends who all have home tables and we get together when we can. When I play on public tables it is definitely different, but I honestly...

I have had my Clean Gleem 16 for a couple of months now and I really enjoy it. I change to a different set of my 15 or so different sets at least weekly just to keep it fun and interesting. I toss the exiting set in the CG for about 3 minutes before putting them away. The set on the table is...

Good for your son! We are in Hiram.

Are you near Rome? I'm actually near Stix

Agree completely. A properly shaped, medium, layered tip (I like Tiger M or G2M) NOT USED FOR BREAKING will not usually mushroom or need reshaping often. Gentle scuffing ONLY when the tip will not hold chalk. I have been able to get several YEARS out of a good and well cared for tip. Even...

We have a REALLY good thread here on "Pool Ball Collecting" that I have learned a lot from and used to help in my hunt for interesting sets and games. Perhaps a "Custom Cue Collecting" thread is here somewhere, or needs to be started? I would certainly value a single place to learn and look at...

I currently own several "Specialty" sets. 1> Crown Games Poker Set: Very fun and challenging game when friends are over. Black Jack is the favorite of about 10 cool games 2> Cue Mate Chess/Pool Set: Surprisingly Challenging but most of my friends are too lazy to learn it. Honestly this is...

Both can contribute. An unchalked tip gets slick / burnished and slips off the ball for sure in my experience. Otherwise no one would use chalk at all.

I do this as well. Short answer... it is my pre shot routine. Here is my take... My chalk is my brain. While I am holding it, and chalking, I am thinking about the shot. Once I have made up my mind, I put the chalk down and the shot is pure execution from there. No more aiming or thinking...

Yes, my home table. I own a Clean Gleem cleaner so I cleaned the balls before I started because I wanted to be certain that ANY chalk mark on the cue or object balls was the result of the TAOM and not something left over. I did not clean the cloth, but I will vacuum it up this evening and keep...

With draw and follow I haven't seen a great difference but I chalk well after each shot when I use my regular "Silver Cup" chalk. I'm a solid, but far from professional player, so I am probably not the best person to comment on that. Here are the POSITIVE things I have noticed... 1.) I chalk...

I'm not complaining. This is the smoothest and best applying chalk I have used. Seems to play very well. Maybe better as some have said, but I'm not certain yet. I just don't see a drastic difference in chalk on the ball and table. Better? Yes, some, but not that I would make such great...
