A POLL on number of ball sets you now OWN

Three sets in total:

[1] set of IPT Tournament balls, purchased when the IPT was still around
[1] set of Cyclop balls, purchased recently from CSI
[1] set of no-name knock-around balls

My favorite? Right now, the Cyclop set, even with the funky colors. I just like the way they play.

So after the Shave v Corey match I've been experimenting with the soft break in nine ball. I've been breaking so much my back hurts. Shane used the same pattern the entire set. Corey changed near the middle of the match. I've attached a photo of those patterns. I've tried each pattern on both ends of my table and no success.

Then, as a result of this thread, I remembered I had the Raschig No Number 9-Ball set, photo attached. So low and behold I pulled those balls out an hour ago and sure enough they are more precise then my Centennials or my Aramiths and I've been nailing the soft break with improved success.

What I didn't realize was that the Centennials and Aramiths weren't freezing. But the no number balls freeze perfectly using the same rack.

So I think the no number balls are more precise.

4 sets:

Centennials that I use daily.
Aramith TV Set that I bought to try.
Disco set, the ones that light up when they are hit (before I suggested to my girlfriend that she subtly ask about what would be cool to have as pool accessories before she just bought something).
A super cheap set that I bought just because one of my cue racks has a place for balls and I thought it would look cool to have a set there.

Not to mention multiple cue balls, from red circle, to measles, to training cue balls.
 
I have two sets. A set of aramith premier's that came with my table, and a set of brunswick centennials.

Until today I only had one, but my awesome wife just handed me these as a late birthday present! Sweet!
