    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    PoolDawg told me they will remove the shrinkwrap to check quality so I asked them not to do so on my order. I don't think there could be an issue with Aramith because I could not hardly get the balls out of the box without turning the box upside down. I wanted a shrink wrapped box to...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    My concern with the open box concept coming from Amazon is that there is nothing protecting me from getting a set of balls that were purchased by another customer who bought the Amarmith balls, took them out of the box, replaced them with a cheap set of new balls and sent them back to Amazon for...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    "100% wrong"?? So you know for a fact that the balls that I got from Amazon were not previously purchased and returned? While I my not be 100% correct, I am NOT 100% wrong. The set I got from PoolDawg, were not just shrink wrapped, the shrink wrap had the Aramith logo printed on it also...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    The sets that came from Amazon were in legitimate Aramith boxes but were not sealed. Just 2 pcs of packing tape so I am 100% certain they were purchsed and returned by other Amazon customers. The problem, in my opionion is there is no way to know if they were actually Aramith balls inside...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    I have puchased 2 sets of Aramith Premier balls from Amazon and both came with the box just taped shut. I am expecting that they would come from Aramith wrapped in plastic, am I wrong. I do not want to keep these balls because if they do not have a factory seal, there is no way to know if...

    Brunswick Dealer that charges reasonable prices??

    They were more than Aftermarket, but not completely terrible. Before tax they were a tad under $400 thru my local dealer.

    Brunswick Dealer that charges reasonable prices??

    I do have labels on my pockets. I will probably just go with my local dealer unless I want lower cost aftermarket. I appreciate everyone’s input.

    Brunswick Dealer that charges reasonable prices??

    Does anyone know of a Brunswick Dealer that sells replacement parts at a reasonable price? I am looking for new leather pockets for my Brookstone II table in Black or Espresso (color TBD) and my local dealer is charging more than 2-3x what an aftermarket set would cost. I expect to pay more...

    Thoughts on the Table I just finished building

    I think if you search long and hard the way he did you can find a bargain like that. His did not have a slate liner, which desireable these days and would add about $ 20.00 to $ 50.00 to the cost depending on whether you used MDF or Poplar(preferred) to line the slate. His was also used which...

    Thoughts on the Table I just finished building

    I did make the legs removable, but I don't know if I would again if it is for my own use. It added a lot of time and effort for something that may never be used. It is also more stable if the legs do not detach - but stability is not an issue because of the weight. I am like you Lunchmoney -...

    I wish I could play now that I have a nice table. The truth of the matter is I suck - but I now have a decent table to practice on.

    Thoughts on the Table I just finished building

    Good question. I really had not given that idea much thought. Projects like this are funny that way. Before I start them I think this will be a neat project and if it turns out OK maybe I could make a few others to sell. However, when I am done I am pretty sick of the idea of building...

    Thoughts on the Table I just finished building

    This is my first post to this forum, but I have been lurking for a while and has been a great help on this project. I started building this table on Dec 3 and finished it December 24th. It is an 8 Footer with 3 piece 1" slate. I found a local supplier that gave me a great deal on Level...
