gold crown centennial ball vs brunswick centennial ball

[Mikiemopa]

I'm looking for some nicer balls for my home table, was wondering if the older blue boxed centennial were same as the new Brunswick centennial. I have a cheap set of eBay now and have no idea what they are.

Hyatt used to make Centennials on behalf for Brunswick. When Hyatt folded, the contract went to Aramith.

A Super Arimith Pro set is a real good alternative if you can't find Centennials.

Take a look at the Tournament set http://www.saluc.com/html/billiard/index.php?idlien=41

I think these and the Centenials are the best looking ones, the they are very high quality. But a bit tougher to play with, they are not easy to move around.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that much about them, if I can get a really good deal , say $100 for the older model in really good shape, thinks its worth if rather then spending $250 on new one. I already have the aramith pro cup cue ball

I have a vintage set in the box for $100 shipped. It has non matching cue ball Jesse 925.330.3429

My balls move easily.... all of them are round.

As far as the quality between the two manufacturers , and tolerances. Where they the same.

Stick With The Red/Black Box Version

If you're going to get a set of Centennial Pool Balls, which admittedly are still made by Aramith, make sure to go with the current/newer version (Red & Black Box).

The colors are more vivid and the circle/opposing arrows are so clear that your aim point on the object balls becomes easier. IMO, you'll be sorry if you just settle for anything else.
