Interesting. That is a huge difference. Oddly enough the WPA specs apparently allow a range of 156 to 170 grams, 8% variance.I weighed a Red Circle at Buffalo’s that was 156g. It might have 10 years old, who knows. The new ones weighed 168g.
I did the weighing thing 20 years ago when this topic came up, and it was an old topic then! My new red circle weighed the same as the other cueballs and object balls. Some fake non-Aramith red circles might vary from this, but mh genuine Aramith red circle weight the same.I've weighed brand-new ones that were 162-164. BC and Measels are all in the 166-169 area.
Saluc will also tell you that Centennials use the Super Aramith PRO resin and are manufactured to the same specifications. I assume that Brunswick said, “ here’s the aesthetic design… go ahead and make it to whatever you think is best.”i recently contacted aramith regarding tournament vs super pro as i need to replace a set
i know this is off topic but it may be usefull to someone

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your e.mail.
The Aramith pool ball sets come in different types with different specifications.
From low end to high end :
- Crown Standard set uses our basic "Premier" resin, and contains some second quality balls (slight cosmetic defects that don't affect playability).
- Premier set uses the same Aramith Premier resin as the Crown Standard. All balls are first quality and the cosmetic is different
- Premium set uses the Aramith Premium resin, a higher end resin creating a vitrification layer which is a translucent and very hard external layer. For this reason the numbers look a little bit fuzzy.
- Super Aramith Pro sets use the Aramith PRO resin, featuring a deeper vitrification layer. In addition the sets are matched to minimize the weight difference within a set.
- Tournament sets use the same Aramith PRO resin, but are produced using a proprietary technology called Duramith, allowing a longer lifetime.
The BLACK set belongs to the Aramith Tournament family.

Hoping this answers your request,
Best regards.
ARAMITH - BELGIUM.
I guess you have to ask yourself are all three balls made by the same company? It could make all the difference in the world if you end up with a quality ball, or a cheap Chinese knockoff.Have received the Blue circle ball about a week ago and the Black circle ball today. One thing I have noticed, the blue circle ball will show chalk
stains heavier than the black circle ball will,and I mean by a lot. Played with the black for about 2 hours this evening and there was maybe one or two faint chalk marks on the ball after the session of practice,,the blue would be needed to be cleaned after the work out I laid down. All in all I'm really liking this black circle ball , it seems like a better product,,my 2 cents issued. The black circle ball was ordered through Amazon
Thanks all ! To add they both will leave the white spots on the HR cloth at about the same rate. I sperimented sum
By 'black circle' do you mean the Tournament cb? IMO that's the best ball for the $.Have received the Blue circle ball about a week ago and the Black circle ball today. One thing I have noticed, the blue circle ball will show chalk

IMO a set of Dyna Bronze and one of these cb's would be the nuts. 150bux total outlay.Aramith makes a black measles ball which is supposed to be the best.
It is hard to find and all the pool merchandise websites are out of stock.
I Juuse weighed a brand new aramith CB 167.4gI weighed a Red Circle at Buffalo’s that was 156g. It might have 10 years old, who knows. The new ones weighed 168g.
I notice same thing. I always loved the BW blue circle CB, but it does seem to mark up and hold chalk more than others. I play with Aramith Pro Tourney balls, and the black logo CB that comes with those does seem to stay cleaner and plays great. I play with them all and find the differences between most of them to be very minute, almost indiscernible - but for some reason this Cyclops single big red dot CB stays cleanest for me after long practice sessions.Well the link below will show the one I purchased, black circle
The blue circle, came from pool dawg and the black circle came from Amazon , and looks just like the one in the link. There was a genuine Aramith![]()
paper along with the order that came in. As for pool dawg , they always have sent the quality stuff to me, when ordered. My old blue circle ball has the same problem of showing chalk as does the new one does, just noticed the diff when playing around with the newer black circle.
Blue dot is a different ball than the blue circle that comes with Centennials.Saw the Blue dot offered at either Mueller, or Seybets, fyi
WTF???????? First its the blue dot now its the blue circle. Are you high?![]()
Brunswick Centennial Blue Circle Cue Ball
Looking for a new cue ball to go with your Brunswick Centennial set? The cue ball is now available and comes with the blue circle.www.pooldawg.com
Buy it before it is gone View attachment 616222
I own about a dozen or so different sets of balls, but I see you have 3 sets of Centennials. What led you to purchase multiple sets of the exact same type versus all different for variety? Just curious.I haven’t viewed in person the Dynashere brand of pool balls so I’m in the dark about that line.
Here’s my small inventory of pool balls. One brand I bought & resold within 48 hrs was Cyclops.
It wasn’t my cup of tea so afterward I just used the proceeds & got an extra new Centennial set.
