Guess again.
for those of you who think the Tasmanian devil was actually made in Tasmania it was not in fact the Tasmanian devil was manufactured at the Schenectady devil Factory in Upstate New York and was sold to Tasmania devil Corporation.
I like the blue circle as well...when it’s genuine and not 20 years old.
The ones used in some my local pool halls are worn and are much smaller and lighter than the other balls.
Which is incredibly frustrating to play with, the break shot becomes like trying to hit a big nail with a little hammer.
Tangent lines are barely relative because the cue ball loses it’s momentum after contact, skids occur more often because it’s hits underneath the object ball, follow shots become weak, and a normal soft stop shot can turn into 2 ft of draw if you aren’t careful.
I keep a nice newer one that came with my set of Brunswick centennials in my case for when I have to play at those particular pool halls, but the regulars there often don’t want to play with it...smh
Side note, I’ve noticed the newer blue circle cue balls are a different material than the old ones? They are the same kind of off white color as the measle ball.
The older blue circles are that pasty white, I think these are the ones people are referring to when they claim they “hold chalk.” These are the same ones that are always small, light, and a little out of round.

Life would be grand if we all played with the Blue Circle Aramith Centennial Cueball. Same material and dimensions as the rest of the ball set. But when the Red Circle came out with all its ease of draw and its carom resin, out went the Blue Circle in many pool halls.

I loved playing with that cue ball...

i called the company and asked if the replacement cue ball for the centennial balls was a blue circle and they said yes....:thumbup:
I was told Centennials were produced under contract for Brunswick using the same resin formula as Super Pro. Measle from Super Pro should play the same.

No, there actually is a Tasmanian Devil:

Ahhhh... the first was the one I posted in the OP. The second one I like! Thanks, Patrick. :grin-square:
Speaking of which...
I like red circles better - they seem to collect less chalk than blue circles. Anybody else notice this?
