I was at my local room last week and noticed the red circle CB they gave me was covered with dozens of small crescent shaped cracks in the surface. There were a lot more than what shows in the photo, but this gives an idea of what they look like.
There was a thread awhile back where somebody showed a pic of similar damage to a measles balls that was supposedly a fake, but this ball looked just like an ordinary red circle CB in all other respects. Plus, this room hosts a couple Joss tour events, so I doubt they'd try to save money by getting cheap cue balls. The owner has made a sizable investment in Diamond tables, I don't think he'd cheap out on cue balls.
What can cause such extensive damage? I'm assuming it's phenolic break tips?
