Anyone bought the aramith 100's?

750.00 is just way too high for me. That's like 6 sets of dynaspheres. It does sound like the compound is different and I am excited to see this roll out into their duramith sets.
 
I feel for you guys in the US trying to acquire these. I got mine for $150 cheaper but I’m over in the UK.

They look better IRL but that 100 logo takes a while to warm up to…
 
If I were to buy a top of the line pool ball it would probably be these.

Internally not really any different than the Tournaments or the Arcos II's...
It’s the vitrification layer that is the big difference. The price is probably driven by the processing time it takes to bake them in order to grow the thickness. Probably more like the difference between a high performance and super high performance bicycle, hard for us to tell unless we are acutely attuned.
 
Bumping this back up because the dealer I placed my pre-order with still has not gotten any of the three sets he ordered.

Has anyone seen these in the wild yet, how did Aramith screw this up so badly...
Just got a UPS email that my limited edition boxed set is due to arrive to me tomorrow, sent directly from Simonis - one of Aramith’s largest US dealers / distributors.
 
I'd be excited to hear a full report.
I’m not planning to use them, but I’ll be glad to provide you with my first impression opinion as to how they look compared to the Aramith Tournament balls and the Brunswick Centennial balls. From what I’ve seen, I don’t believe I’m going to like the looks of them as much as either of the above 2 mentioned sets.

This is like the Aramith clock running down at the beginning.
Were almost there, maybe.

send pics when you get them.
 
Checked with my supplier again yesterday, they said: "100 balls not in yet mid april maybe".

Worst product launch ever....

The Pinto of pool balls. Minus the exploding and catching your table on fire on break. But who knows we may still get that when they arrive...

Update - I received my boxed set of Aramith 100’s today. They were packed / shipped amazingly secure from Simonis. As they are sealed in plastic and I’m not sure yet if I’m going to keep or sell them, I’m not breaking the seal on the plastic at this time - sorry!

you bought yours directly from Aramith?

From Iwan Simonis in IL, who is a US Aramith distributor. We’ve been buying cloth from them for 27 years for our poolroom so we have a wholesale account with Simonis / Aramith.

I’m not sure how many years Simonis has been a distributor for Aramith. I’ve had an order in for this set for nearly a year, since we first heard about these balls.

I would guess that there is an improvement in durability. I'm only basing this in comparing my Aramith Premium balls with the pro cup measles ball. I can't see any scuffs on the measles ball but the others have gotten a couple of scuffs from hitting the fireplace.
