    Vintage Sears STRIPED balls made in Belgium

    any ideas on what quality these are? they seemed similar to centennials and the thin numbering is reminiscent, as well as being in the white of the ball rather than the stripe. The cue ball is all white, and it doesn't even say Aramith on the box! i only pulled two results from searching the...

    Wanted: inexpensive break cue / playing butt

    Hello all, From the sounds of it, all break cues are of the same quality until you get into the $300 range. I do not believe I am at the point in my game where that will help me, so I'm looking for something cheap to use instead of a house cue. I just want to play around with a harder...
