I have already stated multiple times that it very well could be that someone swapped out the cueball. It is IMO most definitely not original. As for the whole counterfeit China production alibaba thought... RubeCube said this (see picture) A guy that apparently collects pool balls. So with...

It’s 4 in the morning here. Bedtime isn’t till 9am 😂

I have never seen a specific 9 ball dedicated set of balls ever, so I couldn’t tell you. i am assuming those sets are only 9 balls and the cueball? Is that what is pictured earlier in the thread? Ive only seen the full rack set of balls like I pictured in my 1st response in this thread.

Do you know for a fact that they didn’t have one on it? No one but the people involved at Raschig knows that. Don’t see why it’s an issue though. It’s not like anyone is auctioning off a set of balls for a million dollars. But if you played pool with enough sets of these balls in various...

So the question is, are the bumblebee balls manufactured as if they were Raschigs? Or are they marketed as crappy knock offs because they are so terrible? Betcha people who don’t know better, would buy them as originals. Tribute is just another word for copy. I can say that every original set...

I’m sure iusedtoberich could comment on manufacturing in China. Probably not that hard given today’s technology. It’s not profitable at all, IMO, to fake a set of balls. But didn’t Cube say that he had a set of counterfeit Raschigs for a different game? The bumble bee balls? Or is that just a...

I’m saying that a set of fakes could have been made 6 years ago and the off white color can simply be a drop of “old” color added to the white. Fakes don’t have to be from 30 years ago. They could be recent if someone really wanted to, and then presented as original.

Well to me, at the very least, the cueball that came with iusedtoberich’s set is suspect. That would put the entire set into the fake/fraudulent category for me. If iusedtoberich bought his set 5 years ago, decades after the company stopped producing them but WELL within the time of various...

Well I’m no historian and I don’t collect pool balls. I did however play with plenty of sets back in the day. Every single one of them had a black dot. Every. Single. One. East coast, West coast, and everywhere in between. If they were Raschigs, they had the black dot. Figures that 30...

How many sets of the Raschigs have a black circle cue ball? ZERO if the cueball is REAL!

I mean, you’re posting up stats on a potential fake set of balls. 😂 And I know you don’t remember the color of the blue of the 2 and 10ball. Real Raschig Blue was lighter in color if my memory serves me correctly.

Could very well be 100% true. Probably is now that I think about it. I mean, other than collecting, who in their right mind is gonna keep a set of balls for 30 years? With normal play, cueball would be out of round and so would the 1 ball after a couple years and then a new cueball gets swapped...

Every set I ever saw whether someone’s personal set, or a set they had in a pool room in the late 80s early 90s, all had a black dot. Not a circle. iusedtoberich is more than familiar with counterfeit stuff coming out of China. If someone wants something pirated, China can make it. It could...

Came out of retirement for this frigging thread. REAL RASCHIG BALLS HAD A CUEBALL WITH A DOT, NOT A CUEBALL WITH A CIRCLE! Fake balls maybe? Who knows. They were the best balls EVER created and unfortunately were only in existence very briefly. Centennials had nothing on Raschigs. Maybe...

This whole thing might be the greatest most epic troll in pool history.😂 And everyone is having a meltdown! Gotta love the pool world. What a bunch of siissy crybabies! HAHAHAHAHA!

Apparently, someone advocated on my behalf and negotiated me out of a permanent/lifetime ban. How they managed to achieve that i have no idea. Shame i have zero interest in participating anymore. Trolling obstinant obtuse intellectually disabled rejects (in pool or in NPR) while trying to...

Great set of balls made in Germany if i remember correctly. No longer produced. Haven't seen a set of them in over 20 years.

Didn't he have a racist tirade against Ernesto or Oscar and make a spectacle of himself somewhere a while back? I dont care what people do on the table. No amount of talent can absolve them from being disgusting human beings. That is EXACTLY what is wrong with pool today. Too many people think...

It's OK though. There will be some bar box championships to compensate so that certain individuals can pump up in points. Or they can just bypass the system and get byes into Mosconi cup anyway like always seems to happen.

People that complain about pros playing should practice harder, or quit pool.:D On another note, i did see Vivian V. at a local tournament last Thursday night at Hard Times Bellflower CA. She got knocked out and left.
