My ability to see whether a measles ball is spinng or sliding after contact from 50 feet away or on a telecast is marginal. At best. From 2 feet away? Yes.

Wagering with your freinds or a group of known regulars, fine. Playng for money (or anything for that matter) with some rando in a bar is an incredibly bad idea in my book. Truly a risk filled recipe for disaster. Even if you’re the better player you’re going to lose money anway appeasing...

Coincidentally the brochure in post #4 is from an establishment once called Edison Billiard and Cycle. I was surprised and happy to find they still exist but dropped the ‘Cycle’. Established 1963 https://www.edisonbilliard.com/

Agree. My belief is the basic general premise is the more expensive the set, the more hits they can take and continue to roll true in the long term.

My Bronze set looks and plays pretty good. The CB seems to squirt/swereve more than I like, but it’s about the same as an Aramith Premier CB.

You are describing the set they should have made when they went with the TV color set way back when. In my opinion that set didn’t fully accomplish what it was designed to do except make the 3-4-5 balls difficult to distinguish. And the 11-12-13? Forget it. They made a wrong turn and...

The Jewett/SVB match is available to view. 👍🏼

All or nothing. Either keep them sealed permanently in the chance someone someday comes looking for the exact set and money is no object. They may be worth something when Aramith celebrates their 200th birthday in 2124. In the meantime I’d use and enjoy them.

Stories of tables with protruding nails/staples/metal obejcts has made me reconsider bringing my own equipment. Though if the balls are bad enough I still MIGHT bring an old CB. Plus I’ve left a ball behind once and there’s always a chance of having them mysteriously disappear during a...

Spitballing here, but could be a Continental. The legs aren’t visible with all the stuff stored underneath that example.

I cycle between a number of sets. My favorites are Centennials and Dynasphere Platinums. They seem to hit and roll to my liking. I’d rank mine like this: Centennial Dynasphere Platinum Aramith Black Aramith Tournament Aramith Premier Dynasphere Bronze Dynasphere Tungsten All the above...

I use both V10 and Pagulayan green. No allergy and/or any other issues. In addition, no contact or respiatory reactions to any chalk for that matter.

Fine for the Mosconi Cup and other team events. Otherwise no. Ostentatious.

My bad, these are U.S. tournaments.. (2nd edit) But I guess the International Challenge of Champions counts? 1991-2016

New light.

Cancel my previous post, I was thinking about the Mosconi vs Caras dinner match on Accu-Stats. Apparently the YT account that uploaded both this instructional video and the Mosconi-Caras exhibition was banned. Maybe this copy will fill the void in the meantime.

Copyright infringement most likely. Maybe it will be uploaded by the official Accu-Stats channel someday.

That GC I restomod reminds me of this. This blacked out look is the rage lately. I’d say go grey cloth if that’s what appealing to you! You’re the one that has to play on it.

I switched to the perimeter light recently after playing under the old can/pendant lights for decades. - The perimeter light doesn’t light up the entire room/walls/pictures/other hung personal affects much as I thought it would. - The perimeter light gives even light across the entire table...

The gloss black/chrome look always seemed like a bad idea. Fingerprint and dirt magnets. Not to mention glare/glint from light. I guess it’s ok for limited residential use or for those adept at auto detailing.
