Chrome balls

These? https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/chrome-billiard-balls/ If so they're really disgusting.
On the other hand, it might reduce throw and skid. And aiming with the lights should be a snap.
Ok, I am seriously intrigued.
I suspect they have significantly different rolling friction and will, thus, change the speed of the table.
I assume they are just plastic balls with a chrome coating and so weigh about the same. I think the rolling friction will not change for them. It isn't much different between dirty and waxed balls.
I have two, but they're not for sale.
Commencing thread derailment in....3...2...1...
How about a little "Show and Tell," for their eyes only?
Now that's some funny s^*t right there!!
The kick-starter failed??? Really??? How could such a great idea not be hit with all pool players?? I thought the AramithBlack's were lame but these take the cake.
Merry Christmas to you, Kruppe of Darujhistan.
I can’t say I dig those chrome balls. I would enjoy solid chrome maybe, no stripes or numbers, but just for a gaff.
I am seriously baffled why these chrome balls or the new Aramith Blacks could possibly fail...…..
Possibilities
My first thoughts about this set involved a fool and his money. Then I had second thoughts. About seventy-five dollars for a solid steel two and a quarter inch ball. It would be great fun to have the other player hit this ball, especially a full power shot like a break shot. A rough guess this ball would weigh about a dozen times as much as the weight of a normal cue ball! Could be dangerous if a shaft shattered so probably best to stay well back and pick someone you don't like a whole lot to try this switch on.

I have (2) 2” SS bearings, I got them because I don’t like the ringing baoding balls - they rock the forearms. I’ve thought about shooting with them but I always let it drop before : ) maybe I’ll try a light shot.
