Predator balls are available...
- Thread starter trob

I wish predator would release a $500 item in 11.8mm already so I stop getting disappointed in every other product they release lol.
I do really love the new cues with Tembaga rosewood, wondering why we haven't seen many cues with that wood before, it's stunning.

An acquaintance of mine has one that he's testing and says the 11.8mm Revo's, which he says play awesome, will be available this December.
$356 for Tournaments, $390 for Tournament TV at Seybert's.
Oml yes lol those things are terrible in my opinion
Having choices is always good, I guess. Perhaps if I were starting from scratch, I would consider them. But I've been using the Aramith Tournament balls, with the Duramith technology for 6 years now, and they have yet to get a scuff mark on them. Just a little polish every once in a while, and they are good to go. I can't see any reason to change.
Paying for the name here. Predator didn't engineer these, and these don't play ay better than cheaper Aramith TV sets. The Black set is terrible for those of us who don't need an hour to see our pattern, I can't stand having to remember how they reversed the colors.

Aren't Predator balls made by Aramith?
I dont know if its the picture, my PC, or something else but the colors seem muted or not as vibrant as Centennials and Aramith Tournaments. I will stick with my Aramith Tournaments, Centennials, and even my Cyclops skittle set for a mere $200.
Have you actually tested and used these? Or are you just guessing when you say they don't play any better than the Aramiths? Serious question........
I bought the Tournament TV set because I didn’t want to wait for these balls. But I’m still considering the Hyperion balls or the Dynasphere balls just to have an extra set
I used Centennials for many many years... recently switched to the Hyperions and like them better. Play great and stay clean longer than other ball sets i have tried. I think you would love the Hypers....
No (the originals at least)
They also play worse than Aramith and the surface dulls very quickly

Yes, these new ones ARE made by Aramith. The older versions were not.
From what I can see of the marketing materials, the phenolic description is similar to the Aramith Tournament pros.
Heres' from the Predator Arcos II website:
PHENOLIC RESIN BALLS LAST 5X LONGER THAN POLYMERS OR POLYESTER BALLS.
So, with a vision backed by science, we created the Arcos II with Aramith’s highly guarded secret formula containing 99% HIGH-QUALITY PHENOLIC RESIN, and cure them multiple times over a longer period of time to produce harder, more durable balls. This longer curing process combined with almost pure phenolic resin means harder, more durable balls that are burn spot resistant. Even our cue ball has the same high phenolic resin composition, which produces a distinct, crisp and vibrant pop on impact. It’s a sound unique to the Arcos II – the sound of victory.
