You're welcome. More power to ya.I'm really not sure what folks were expecting, maybe super cooling magnetics in each ball so they hover...
At the end of the day, the ball is still a celebration of 100 years of ball design and as a result, they went back and pulled in elements from the classics. So to my eye, I see a mix of Tournament, Crown Standard, and Contential along with throwback colors that they had moved away from.
I love them, the colors are strong, the design elements are minimalist and most of all the return of Oxblood is the highlight!
Seriously these are limited editions and I'm super pleased that most of you are not going to buy them which means more availability for those of us who do want them!
I do sympathise with Aramith’s design team.
They are on a hiding to nothing in a sense… go too far with new innovations and it alienates the purists; stick with tradition and they’re accused of not doing enough.
It’s a tough gig!
Agreed, 2 and 4 plus 10 and 12 ball are too close color-wise and I do not like the inconsistent number labeling. I'm fine with the cue ball but all the rest should have had the same numeric font throughout the set.View attachment 706839
It's probably a great set, in quality and for a collector. My first thought is "hmm"
I like having dots on the cue ball, the blue and purple look similar and overal they look kind of old fashioned. But that mightve been their aim.
Again it probably is a great set, but I share your sentiment, Angus.
Hinged wooden box + new formula + limited quantity produced = $600+How much $$$ ?
$500 a bawl.How much $$$ ?
That "purple" needs more red (purple = blue+red)....as for the 4 ball they should have made a little darker purple.
What's everyone's thoughts on the new set?
Personally I like the big balls to be numbered in the stripe, and white around the numbers on the solids.
Anyone planning on getting a set to try?
I'm sure anyone would play with them. The question is, would you buy them?Geez, tough crowd. They look nice, and the five is orange. I'd play with them.
I already tried to put down an advance deposit. They would not do it until they get the final pricing and availability from Aramith.I'm sure anyone would play with them. The question is, would you buy them?
Oh, they’ll be plenty of inventory….This design is going to be a flop.I'm really not sure what folks were expecting, maybe super cooling magnetics in each ball so they hover...
