    Pool fads?

    Agreed, but I can't help but wonder if that is why the brand no longer exists and the name was changed to Dynaspheres (which are absolutely great by the way)

    Pool fads?

    Cyclop balls had some really significant quality problems early on. Balls literally cracked in half.

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    This was also my experience using it in my polisher. The home made mixture I described above leaves absolutely nothing ON the ball. They just come out polished and clean. In Dr. Dave's videos, the plain alcohol seems to be a little "grabby" or has a little more throw but it is very minimal...

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    Especially if you already have a bottle of aramith cleaner around. I started with a $1.00 spray bottle from walmart, but it clogged and leaked. I found this one on Amazon at the recommendation of a friend here on the boards It is REALLY top quality and never leaks or clogs...

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    I have found the mixture of 1 to 1.5 tbsp Aramith cleaner mixed with 1 cup of 91% isopropyl alcohol sprayed in while my cleaner is running produces consistent, high polish results. I had never heard of this but it was included in the instructions for my machine. Truly an amazing product...

    Phenolic Break Tip Question?

    Thank you for this contribution. The tip was on the cue when I bought it. Probably going to look into a white diamond based on. Discussions here. Used an older cue w a milk dud as a break cue for years just to spare the wear on my playing cue. Once I actually got a break cue w a hard tip I...

    Hours, weeks, months, years, and I’m still lousy

    We do get older. I have neuropathy from chemo 7 years ago resulting in unsteady hands. My eyes need an upgrade. Sadly, not only can I not really get better, I am slowly getting worse. Practice seems to slow the decline. Still, getting older doesn't decrease the enjoyment of playing the...

    Dynasphere bronze first impressions vs aramith

    The secret is quite simply to only buy a NEW set for home use. The issue seems to be (just my opinion) that Centennials were/are super popular. There are zillions of sets out there. They are popular in pool halls and many get played for years and years. ANY SET that gets that much pounding...

    Dynasphere bronze first impressions vs aramith

    I have Dynaspheres Tungsten and Palladium. They are absolutely AMAZING in terms of finish, and tolerance. I also have Aramith Black, Centennials, Arcos II, Elephant and several others. Dynaspheres are a great product in line with any of the very best. There is NO QUESTION that their Bronze...

    Pool Ball Weights

    All of this is MY experience and opinion. I recognize others here have different views... I have 2 different sets of Dynaspheres, and if budget is most important, the Dynasphere Bronze is CLEARLY the best value on the market. My FAVORITE set is my Predator Arcos II set. My PERSONAL experience...

    Just got kicked out from tourney

    These are not friends you need. It's one, single, local tournament, evidently run by a petty loser. Move on and enjoy. PLEASE dwell on all of the positives in your life and let this go. Don't let this ONE frustration take any more of your time, fun, peace, and life away from you. Focus on...

    Dynasphere Bronze....

    I have 2 sets... Tungsten and Palladium. Both are absolutely amazing. I am up to 20 total sets now and have experience with sets across many manufacturers and decades. I can certainly not speak to the company as a whole, but the two sets I have are among the best I have ever seen regarding...

    Pool Ball Collecting.

    Here is some GREAT information I just got from Rubik about this set above... A fellow called Steve, from Seattle, Washington, commissioned this set some years ago. As we are all aware, gentlemen, bringing one’s own design into production is not for the faint hearted entrepreneur… they are faced...

    interesting experience with taom chalk

    I use TAOM Pyro blue. I like it because it stays on so well, BUT I DO find tiny pieces of the chalk on the table occasionally. NEVER a dust spot like with Masters or Silver Cup, but like a tiny speck. I DEFINATELY see a tiny bit of the chalk stuck to the Cue Ball occasionally as well. This...
