how do you know that your new set of aramith is genuine

[mirdavanfe]

hi all,
i've just bought a set of aramith tv-pro balls,the 15 balls + the dotted cueball,it came in a pretty genuine looking box,with a booklet about aramith inside,the whole thing was wrapped up with clear plastic wrapping thingy that had tiny aramith logos all over
\

i'm wondering if it's 100% kosher for 2 reasons

i'm in taiwan,and they are known here for making copies of anything

and the price was cheap (most online shops have 190$,i bought mine for 100$)

so,how do i know,without cutting thru the balls?

actually,if anyone has an info on the very accurate weight of 1 ball,i would be able to compare....

They weigh 168-169 grams. At least mine do. I guess you can´t be 100% sure unless you went to the factory, but mine didn´t have aramith logos on the plastic. The factory is only 100 miles away, I have absolutely no doubt I have the real deal.

This is a tough one.

I would guess that people who are accustomed to looking out for counterfeit products would know what to look for more than most in the US.
