- Start date
Yes, just got ours in today. I plan to surprise our weekly 9-ball Monday night tournament players tonight, and see what they think of them! I’m sure at least one person, the tournament winner, will love them!I know these have been hard to find.
Seyberts have them in stock right now.
$45, Is it going go make me a better player?

absolutely .... also pick up a CF shaft for invincibility mode
Pretty sure you can't unlock invincibility mode without a $25 cube of Kamui clay.

You need that too
That’s gouging that they’re charging over $10 more for this ball than the red dot Measle ball, I’m assuming for no other reason than they are scarce.
Don’t forget some tip tools too!
I’ve seen people who can’t play a lick come into the pool room with tackle boxes full of accessories.
Toys are fun, but when it comes to pool. I’m a minimalist.
At Manning's the black is 2bux less than the red measel. https://manningcues.com/Cue-Balls/

Nah. You can get by just fine with the $18 block of V10 from Taom.
Taom is a round or plug.
They have made them scarce. It is an old marketing move. Ty Warner became one of the wealthiest Americans doing it with a child’s toy.
My leagues play in a bowling alley which has 10 tables. You have to get there early on order to collect a rack of balls such that no ball rolls free in the rack. The cue balls are worse.
Since chipped and uneven cue balls will affect a shoot, a cue ball that reacts to my tip in the way I intend os worth a few bucks.
Extra shaft is mandatory.
I own a bunch of cues, but that’s a separate hobby.
As for pool I use a cheap case-was given to me. Probably $40. Chalk, powder, tip tapper, crying towel, 1 old piece of something to burnish my shaft on a rare occasion. I like my own towel to dry my hands with and wipe down the cue. I’m not a gadget guy. My tip tapper and powder I’ve owned over 30 years. I refill the powder when it’s empty.
Simple is best.
I think I have one JP on a shaft, maybe. Not sure. I never use them. They are somewhere in a drawer.
I have 6 non-cue items in my bag
- Pool glove
- Toam chalk
- Cue claw
- Microfiber cloth
- Willard scuffer
- Extra cue ball

give it a few months. There will be a chinese ripoff for $10 on amazon that looks exactly the same.
There already are ko measel balls and they suck.
Yes. Because for $45 the buyer will feel like a sucker and work harder to justify buying it.

AZB should have a dedicated What’s in Your Case thread. My answer would be isle 6 at Seybert’s
