Chrome balls

I suspect they have significantly different rolling friction and will, thus, change the speed of the table.

I assume they are just plastic balls with a chrome coating and so weigh about the same. I think the rolling friction will not change for them. It isn't much different between dirty and waxed balls.
 
Please allow me to rephrase my earlier post.

I have two old slightly rusted ones, but I doubt they have much value. In fact, my Dear Child Bride has told me they have no value at all.
 
Yes those are them. I know Pierre and he tried to get me to invest in the company after the kickstarter failed. I am unaware of them ever going into production.

The kick-starter failed??? Really??? How could such a great idea not be hit with all pool players?? I thought the AramithBlack's were lame but these take the cake.

Merry Christmas to you, Kruppe of Darujhistan.

I can’t say I dig those chrome balls. I would enjoy solid chrome maybe, no stripes or numbers, but just for a gaff.
 
I am seriously baffled why these chrome balls or the new Aramith Blacks could possibly fail...…..

My first thoughts about this set involved a fool and his money. Then I had second thoughts. About seventy-five dollars for a solid steel two and a quarter inch ball. It would be great fun to have the other player hit this ball, especially a full power shot like a break shot. A rough guess this ball would weigh about a dozen times as much as the weight of a normal cue ball! Could be dangerous if a shaft shattered so probably best to stay well back and pick someone you don't like a whole lot to try this switch on.

I have (2) 2” SS bearings, I got them because I don’t like the ringing baoding balls - they rock the forearms. I’ve thought about shooting with them but I always let it drop before : ) maybe I’ll try a light shot.
 
I keep getting this vision of a miniature horizontal catapult. Pull back the arm, hook the sear, place a chrome cue ball in the pouch, rack the balls, stand WAY back, and yank the lanyard.
