Really? That is a surprise. I thought these looked like a very old bakelite set. Have you seen one of these particular sets in person? Know any history of where they came from?

I am looking for a helpful training aid for beginner players in the house. These seem to offer a logical approach. Does anyone have any experience with these or any other suggestions? Thanks.

Just saw this set available... any knowledge or thoughts about them? They seem interesting and I am sure there is a story behind this set.

I hold the cue farther back w my CF cue. It has a different pivot point so I moved back. I then learned that doing this decreases my elbow drop quite a bit. I now use a back grip on any cue. My aim and alignment is done while I am standing so I don't really lose anything getting down on the...

Very creative! Love the lid!

Perhaps not JUST for the Asian market, but from what i have read, that entire series is not available in the U.S. except for a couple of Ebay sellers, and who knows how they work that? The only sets licensed to sell here are the "Belgian" quality controlled sets called Platinum etc... If you...

I have that set. It is the Asian market Dynaspheres Palladium. They are pretty much the standard "Fat Boy Approved" colors :-) (except the brown replaces the regular 7/15 color. Beautiful set and play great with ORANGE 5 BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the talk about measles balls and feedback seems presumptuous to me. If a player is shooting head down, eye on object ball, tip placement where desired on cue ball, that player gets NO feedback from a measles pattern. If they do, they are not executing well because the eye should remain on...

Here is a really nice chart on Phenolic Chemical Resistance that shows Isopropyl Alcohol having no effect on Phenolic and listed as an "A" for cleaning: (Isobutyl should NOT be used) https://composite-laminates.com/phenolic_chemical_resistance_chart.htm

Thank you for this post. I have written to Aramith to see if they have a concern with it. I will let you know what I learn if they respond... Dr. Dave here on the boards is a great resource. He has this video of MANY cleaning methods including Alcohol. He makes no mention about potential...

I suppose I am quite late to this thread, but I LOVE my J. Flowers cue. You CAN get a VERY NICE cue with REAL INLAYS and a CF shaft in that price range. I bought it from KoinKid here and am absolutely pleased with my beautiful cue and CF shaft! Starting at $319. Please check out my review...

Sorry... mistyped. 91% is correct of course. Thanks for the spot.

UPDATE: I have drug out some of my older cue balls. I have an "Elephant" cue ball with the logo on it from a basic set, several "Red Dot" aramith that are about 15 to 18 years old, a "Measles" aramith that is about 6 years old, a "blue dot" centennial that is over 20, and a recent Dynaspheres...

Thank you for this post. I have the EXACT same experience. Everyone here absolutely insists that Arcos II's are just Super Aramith Pro with a different style scheme. Aramith says they are SAP, but the Arcos II website says they are a unique formula. I HONESTLY do not know but I DO KNOW that...

I will definitely be watching as I am able. Thank you so much for putting this together. Watching players at this level is fun AND very educational as I learn from watching strategy, stance and stroke. Hope he blows the lid off of it. Also, I wish you folks would sell the cool Jersy shirts...

Very good! That's who I got my Palladium set from as well. Great seller. I don't know why but that set doesn't seem to be available anywhere right now though. I was hoping you had found a source for ALL of their Asian market sets. Maybe just a temporary supply item I hope.

These are AWESOME! You are going to love them in your collection. I too have a set of their "Asian" styles and they are just great. Please if appropriate, share the source in case others here would like one of the styles unavailable generally here in the US! :-)

This is why I ALWAYS rotate the head ball when playing alone at home. I start with the 1 and rotate to the 2,3,4... for each successive rack. The only time I use the 1 exclusively is when I play 9 ball with a friend. I don't know because I have never checked on this, but I suspect all of my...

I had a set of centennials for over 20 years. They still looked perfect and played great. I sold them for a very fair price, as they still looked new. The ONLY reason I sold them was that I bought a set of Arcos II and noticed that after MANY hours of play, there was not a single scuff or...
