Arcos II or Tournament Black

You can forget about the black, ugliest balls I’ve ever seen. If I was given a set as a gift, I’d still get rid of them ASAP. The Arcos2 look pretty nice. They kinda look like a modern version of the Centennial.
Neither. I’d buy and recommend the dynasphere Tungsten. Beat balls I ever used. $70.
IMO, no serious pool player would ever consider any ball set other than Aramith super pro, Aramith tournament, or Brunswick centennial.
Excellent! As a personal matter, I would list the Aramith Tournament and the Brunswick Centennial as my top choices, but for the pool ball enthusiast who has about $350.00 to spend and already has a set of Centennials, et al., what would an active player who likes trendy equipment spend his money on?
I guess I’m the wrong person to ask. I would never consider playing with trendy pool balls even if they were given to me brand new. For very little more $ than that, invest in a trendy quality carbon fiber shaft which could be a difference maker in your game!
Just checked them out and they are not a bad looking set of balls. However, for $80 retail how good do you think they can really be? Yes I know, I qualify as a snob.
They carry the same tolerances as every other set in the line. They are just as good as the top of the line set of dynaspheres.

My answer is the same.
I own and play a set of Arcos II's, Tournament Black, Centennials, Elephant Beautiful (Swirl). I already had the swirl, centennial, and Arcos set. I wanted a set of Tournament and decided to go with the Black set because I already had several traditional sets. I actually really like them. Nice change of pace and, of course, they play perfectly.

How much you want for them?
Arcos 2 set is nice. Forget the Black set.
As a collector, these are my two least favorite sets. Personally, I think the Blacks are ugly and I'm not a purist by any means when it comes to pool ball colors. I do not care for the Predator logo on the Arcos II's. If I were selecting the lessor of two evils (in my mind) I'd probably go for the Arcos II's. I like the font and the 3 dart design despite the cat logo. Playability should be on par with both sets seeing as they are both manufactured by Saluc.
The Blacks use a better formula and are a higher grade ball from Aramith when compared to the Predator Arcos II by Aramith.
