Dynaspheres Factory and Manufacturing

I was surprised that the initial casting is into a cylinder shape that is then machined down to a sphere. After the machining, you have the eye, the stripe, and the caps but without any details like numbers.

With the extensive automation, it looks like the factory could be anywhere and is not dependent on cheap labor.
 
With the amount of time required to make the balls and the amount of expensive automation it sure seems a ball set should cost a lot more than they do. That kinda raises another question, how many sets of pool balls are sold every year? Considering the amount of tables out there and how long they can last it seems like a niche market.

I've read that world-wide there's something like 500mill+ that play pool. China of course has the most with around 2mill playing more than twice/week and around 250mill. that play at least some. Now add in Taiwan, Philippines, rest of the world. My point is there's a huge market for balls. There aren't just a ton of outfits making good phenolic balls. I can see why Dyna's factory runs 24/7.

I think I have three sets and have bought three of my kids sets also.
I have parked my Centenials and Arimith pros.
I absolutely love these sets. I clean them, maybe twice a year.
 
i have a few sets of the bronze ones. 100 bucks. how can you go wrong. my centennials sit in the dark closet now all alone and sad.

i even leave a set in my car year round.

Your right! There's 290ish million people in Indonesia and Pool is growing like crazy there, and the country's in Africa continues to grow their Pool leagues the market and the game could really continue to grow.

The Pool ball side might be somewhat of a niche market, but the expertise they have with resins means they could be providing products to other markets and/or investors with deep pockets.
