The shopping center deal was struck in 2016. Bob did not expect to get another 5 years out of the room. He thought he had a year or two at most. The mess that was to be the new pool room is due to ineptitude, cold feet, and cash. None of which includes Bob. Bob wanted to retire. Normally, you...

On the down low Cobra coming out of the closet. Got it! 😂😂😂

Don’t you have some rails to steal or something? 😂

Nothing I said reflects my ability at the table on tight pockets or my intellect 😂 And yes, only knuckle dragging fanboys love Diamonds and their bouncy ”my stroke sucks please bounce me into position with my garbage poke stroke” rails, and their long ledge shelf of a slate, inside the pocket. 🙃

EASIEST way to take care of ALL the bitching about diamond table pockets, tight or not tight (no mention of the retarded rails) is to cut that cliff/ledge of slate that is inside the pocket, back to “nice clean pocket drop - E. Felson“ specs. Would make for much better gameplay. Of course, this...

It’s best to let it go when one is wrong, and people in the know go dead quiet about it cause they don’t want to expose fraudulent sellers of fake balls that they themselves might have had a hand in. 😂 As you were people.

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...
