Best pool balls ever made

[bigskyblue]

Currently, there is a set of used "Raschig Dekorit Centennial Pool Balls" being offered on eBay.

I have a set of these balls that were given to me by Allen Gilbert, (7) times U.S.
3 Cushion Billiards champion. We use to work for the same company. Allen told
me that "Raschig Dekorit", a West German company hands down made the most accurate pool and billiard balls ever produced.

This eBay ad is the first time I have ever seen or heard anything about these balls, since I received the gift set from Allen Gilbert over 20 years ago.

Has anybody else ever heard of Raschig Dekorit Centennial Pool Balls ?

Do you think the ones on ebay are authentic? It doesn't sound like the seller knows anything on the subject.

Yes, I remember them. I believe they were popular in the 1980s. We used to refer to them as the "German balls." They had a reputation of being excellent. Back in those days their only real competitor were the Brunswick Centennials.

They never really took off in popularity here in the U.S. . I'm not sure why.

I'm pretty sure they are real Dekorit Centennial balls

On my set of Dekorit Centennial balls the lines under the 6 and the 9 balls is
straight. The line is curved on the 6 and 9 balls in sets of centennial balls made by Brunswick.

Do you have any information about "Dekorit Centennials" pool balls?
I just did a google search and I found out that the campany no longer
makes these balls.

Thanks for the info. Allen received the ball set, when he played in a billiard/pool tournament in
Europe.
