A Purple Five Ball Makes No Sense to Me

[eddieindetroit]

So you don’t like the commentators or the ball colors. Why don’t you tell us what you do like? Let’s “glass half full” this shit!

Somebody please buy up those nice Titlist cues on Forsale, or Eddie going to end up buying one, selling my favorite sneaky Pete, and loosing that kind of scratch (another $10K US) playing five dollars a rack 8-ball with some stupid balls that aren’t even the right color-



At the nearest city titty bar!











Or that gay joint across the street. (The one across the street?) Eddie no care.

As long as there’s huge $5 action!!!!!!!!!!

The five ball is saying that he doesn't want to steal somebody else's identity (that being the four ball's identity, and yes I heard him say it), nor would society be ok if the five wanted to steal the four's identity because identity theft is bad, mkay.

Now if the five wants to "identify" as pink, or some other color that isn't historical identity theft, then I suspect even if people don't really like or prefer that change they probably for the most part would be willing to accept it. But they aren't going to accept identity theft, and the five needs to give the four his purple identity back. This might even be a case of some purple cultural appropriation right here.

Stop the identity theft and cultural appropriation. The public and number four balls everywhere won't stand for it. Make the four ball purple again.

Wow, it's only February but this is likely to be a candidate for post of the year come December. Identity theft indeed. Perhaps the five ball needs to be disciplined!

Hell, lets go 'full woke' and remove the #'s too. Wouldn't want any 'non-binary' balls to feel bad about having a # stuck on them. Must make them all 'numerically neutral'.

Let's cancel this ball set. Tear down all the monuments to them!

Pink 4b has been around FIFTY years??? Don't recall seeing one til mid/late 90's at the earliest.

yeah, I was off. It was the early 90s. That's still 30 years ago.

I wonder what Eddie Wheats opinion is of the purple 5 ball?

 

[Fatboy]

yeah, I was off. It was the early 90s. That's still 30 years ago.

Still feels new & wrong to me.

The purple 5 is much more offensive in any case

30, 50, same thing to us geezers.

Adopting Make the 4 ball purple again, as well.

Purple 4 and purple 5? I’m in!

Electrochromatic balls. Any color you like.

Premium sets include electrostatic racking. Universal wireless of course.

I’m watching a YouTube video, 2021 9-ball between Veronika Ivanovskaia and Masato Yoshiika. It has a purple 5-ball and a supposed pink 4-ball. On my Samsung HDTV, which doesn’t suck, the 4 sure looks closer to orange than pink, effectively flip-flopping the 4 and 5 to my eyes.

I know this thread is already dead and over-exposed, but it’s STILL stupid to me.
