    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    Mine came in with the same shrinkwrap that you are talking about. Very nice balls and I love how they roll. Although the cue ball got peppered with too much taom chalk.

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    I don't think counterfeiting Aramith packaging would still make sense. I believe it is a costly process with negative return on the counterfeiters. I think they would sell more selling their own brand and promoting them to be of quality or similar to aramiths. In short, they are now earning more...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    from my experience, amazon doesn't shrink-wrap products that is no their own advertised product, e.g. something with an Amazon basics is their own brand. Amazon is e-marketplace and not a distributor. As far as returned items go, the ones I have seen are just put on a regular plastic with some...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    sorry for the late reply. was too sleepy to post late last night. anyway, my set is wrapped with plastic. I do have the Premiums though so I don't know if they are any different than the typical Premier wrapping.

    Is there a material used in cheaper cue balls that make them behave like a permanently waxed cue ball?

    I find the training ball that I have is very tricky for my opponent to handle. they hate it whenever we use it and felt it was throwing off some different spin. I did fine with it.

    Is it possible to throw an object ball? Nope

    The gear effect. Plain and simple physics.

    I t I thought when he answered, you would pull out either gun and point it at him. lol

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    it's not just about respect but accessibility. but then, you might consider that as disrespect as well. on the otherhand, I don't believe that the caliber would matter against someone who are not in the right state of mind. seeing the gun alone by a perp with a knife or any weapon for that...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    The wonders of medicine. Nowadays, .22 is treated nothing more than a child's plaything. We mainly use it for target practice and hunting small game.

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    Are you saying that using buckshots or modified M4 doesn't create that much spread?

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    maybe they should start using a benelli as a standard weapon of choice. the stopping power + the spread should be enough to stop an approaching threat. anyway, having the proper gun is just half the battle. having the proper person, focus, aim, preparedness and mindset is another. all are key...

    Have you ever attempted to play with a very warped pool cue, and did it bother you, and were you able to pot balls with it consistently?

    Keyword is badly. So how warped was the cue that I played? It was to a point that it can't even roll. Was I able to play with it? Yes, was I able to pocket ball, yes. Did it affect some of my shots? Definitely. Not sure why someone would go for a "badly warped cue if there were others that are...

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    I'm just wondering what pistol was that. it was so bad that I don't bother to remember it unless I hear the name again. the only redeeming quality about it is it's aesthetic look. having said it, it might be a Taurus.

    Higher skill pocket billiards players - 9 ball or snooker players?

    different equipment, different discipline, different approach in the game, different skill prioritization. although it would benefit the player if they play multiple discipline.

    Man, pool halls are dangerous

    Hmmmm..... some years back, I vaguely remember some compact, not sure what brand it was, maybe an S&W or a Ruger or something else which had a terrible recoil and so uncomfortable to hold. if some of you could mention some, it made come back to me what it was. worst compact in history imo.
