I do doubt, however, that the balls actually are wider on the numbers. I think it's more of a different hit kind of thing due to the coloring put into the material.
Unfortunately, yes. Leaving certain balls not so frozen can help you pocket balls.
In some match Karl Boyes told the story about asking Van Boening about the rack reading and he said "10,000$ and I will tell you".
Strange times.
And this is why "rack your own" can not be allowed or you simply use a magic rack.

I measured this on a brand new set of super aramith pro balls about 10 years ago (because I too had seen Pat's video 10 years before that).
On a brand new set, measured with calibrated Starrett 2" to 3" micrometers, and measuring across the stripe and the number, there is no consistent difference in any of the 15 balls depending on the ball orientataion.
I had the data here a while back, in graph form, showing how closely the balls all measured to each other.
I can't comment for a used set.
:smile:
On my used sets, there is a difference. Maybe it's like rings or inlays popping in a pool cue that causes them to change.
I do know...when racking with used balls, sometimes you really need to change the balls around on the second row to get them tight.

Calling BS on this. Sorry but Pat Flemming used to say the break was a disadvantage so he's clearly not an expert.

I think that demo redefines rack mechanic tricks. Very distracting.

And here are the results. You can see that there is no pattern across the balls.
