5 Ball

only happened because the pool player announcers that were willing to let themselves look like fools by not being able to discern between the different balls at the tournaments.
and of course the pool players unwilling as usual to stand up as a group to the directors and promoters.

Well, yes, but.... In polite company we call that "branding". It's important for a business. In carom, the pro tour branded by changing to royal blue cloth and measles balls. For Matchroom, it is nineball™, the purple five, and the gray (grey) cloth. The idea is to make sure people know when they are watching a Matchroom event.

To hell with 'polite'. You take a tournament with THE most established/prestigious history in the game and immediately toss tradition out the window. If that's 'branding' then i say screw branding. Those balls suck and everyone that I know personally says the same thing. From DAZN to the balls and now the referee dumpster fire tells me these people might just be clueless.

I'm over the 5 ball color shock. I own the Aramith Black set and now prefer it for 9 ball. The 6 and 7 are also different and no one says a word. I find that the lavender colored 5 is so different than a traditional purple 4 that I mentally have them disassociated from one another.

the five needs to be orange, the four Moby Grape purple and the seven is MAROON not turd brown! Oh, has this already been said... I must not have noticed
