Cue Ball

I Asked this question about a week ago with no reply, so here goes again!

I am debating getting a Super Aramith Spotted Cue Ball to practice with, and i am going to be using it with a set of Centenial Balls, do you think there is a weight differance in the balls. Dont want to create Skids or Deflections.

Thanks
Steve

Centennials and Aramiths are made in the exact same building.

no difference in the balls, i do like the look of the centennials a little better, I like the measles CB the best then the blue circle then the red circle last, it might be a mental thing but the red circle gets lose once in a while

I have the Aramith Spotted Cue Ball with a set of Centennial Balls and I like playing with the spotted ball more than the Brunswick blue circle or the red circle cue balls. I like to see the spin on the cue ball when I apply english to see how well i've hit my shot. I think it's a fun ball to play with.....

..I like to see the spin on the cue ball when I apply english...

For me, the most beneficial thing about the measles CB is observing the sidespin (or lack thereof) of straight-in stop shots.

When I purchased my home table a couple months back, I bought the measles CB soon afterwards. I was amazed at how much unintended sidespin I was applying on the CB for straight-in stop shots. That clued me in at the severity of the stroke flaw that I had. The sidespin on the CB was consistently left sidespin.

For days and weeks, I had been practicing simple stop shots with the measles CB and constantly adjusting my stroke mechanics, attempting to straighten out my stroke such that I would not only pot the shot and have zero sidespin, but also have the stroke repeatable and comfortable.

For anyone struggling with their stroke, the measles CB is a must. Just playing simple 7-foot stop shots (especially at speed) will give you tremendous amounts of information on the quality of your stroke. The CB is easily worth the money for such a player like myself.

It's also very pretty when it twirls (only if you intended for it to twirl).

I carry the exact same thing every time I am out to play (Aramith Measle Cue Ball and set of Centennials). Love to see the cue ball move with the english put on it as well.

It is an pleasure to see many others who do the same thing...

When we started playing with the new set of balls, we noticed the Measels ball was a little larger than a Blue or Red circle ball.
