Over the years, I have acquired eight (8) sets of phenolic resin pool balls.
The sets are all different in design and I find changing ball sets adds a bit of visual diversity to my practice and play times at the table.

Am I the only one who plays with multiple set of pool balls?

How many sets of pool balls do you own??
 
I own 3, 1 old Aramith Super Pro set that I used to take to the poolhall with me,
1 fairly new Aramith Super Pro set that I use on my home table and 1 Aramith
Casino set (red + yellow) that I never use.

I have 4. 2 aramith super pros (1 set came with the table), centennials, and tournaments. The latter two are still in their shipping boxes. Lol.
 
I currently own 3 sets, Centennials, Aramith Super Pro, and Aramith Super Pro TV. I had another set of Centennials until someone stole them from the trunk of my car. I played with the Aramiths, but missed the classic Brunswick design, eventually broken down and bought another set of Centennials.
 
I have 4 sets of vintage Brunswick/Hyatt Centennials (six & nine balls have straight lines under the numbers vs. the curve line) with box variations and 2 newer Centennials in old style box design.

If you like Centennials you got to have a set of Hyatt "Liberty 1776-1976" Centennials balls, the circle and stars around the numbers are way to cool!

Always preferred playing Centennials, the circles and darts around the numbers add an extra depth, watch the movie "The Hustler", you will know what I mean.

I couldn't agree more about having many different sets of balls to keep the games interesting - whether it be for solo practice or social get-togethers or better yet - to satisfy the competitive urges every now and then 😁

What really started my (almost) obsession with ball sets was once I had the opportunity to finally put together my own home billiards room, I began recalling those nearly lost, fond memories of all the games I played in the good old days of a small SD smokey snooker room - complete with the quintessential counter boy of the room's owner, to the guys moving balls around that were born in the late 1800's! They would often mumble about games they played overseas while on military assignments or adventurous travels - and boy were those stories ever mesmerizing.....especially as a youngster of 5 years old hanging with Dad and skipping school on snowy days. So here's where it has taken me....

Aramith Tournament
Super Aramith PRO-CUP Snooker - English 2.25"
Aramith Premier 68mm Russian Pyramid
Aramith Casino/Blackball 2.25"
Aramith Premier - with added balls 16-21 for a complete Baseball set w/triangle
Scratchball set - Aramith balls
Crown Games Poker set
Aramith Camouflage
Aramith Great White
All Stripes 9-ball set
World Series Baseball set between the 2011 Rangers and Cardinals - game 7 rematch!
Unnumbered set of Solids and Stripes
Choke
And my own custom Aramith game sets for what I call KRazy Snooker & Perfect🔟

Numerous fun balls like a special 7-ball; reverse color 8-ball; golden 8-ball; Aramith snake and leopard 9-balls and on and on and on 😁

And don't even ask what my wife says about me having all of these balls - because "one set is all you really need" 😄

Oh - and of course one would most certainly need to have a collection of history and rule books to accompany all of those sets ----- and various score cards and record-keeping miscellany. Oh, I need therapy ---- wait! I have that covered! I have a pool table. Woohoo!
