IPT pool balls

Why does everyone spell it ITP? Are you doing this on purpose or do you just not watch what you are typing on the screen?

Yeah, but if the IPT folds imagine what great collectors items they will be in a few years time.

That is the ones left that don't get thrown through the windows of KT's car ;-)

Does anyone know of another place to buy the official balls other then from ITP?


I just received two sets of IPT balls today, that I ordered from there website.

The new balls are a bit smaller and lighter than the ones we were practicing with. Corey figured out a break and when we went to the tournament we didn't get the same results due to the size and weight of the balls. Now having the IPT balls, Corey should be able to figure out a break for this next tournament.

I'm looking forward to him spending hours or days to figure out the perfect break and then telling me what to do in about 1 min.

I was thinking I kinda liked the looks of them. :)

Anyone know how they compare to centenials or aramith pro's?

Anyone know why this thread is so unbelievably wide on my screen?

OK, unless your actually playing in the IPT tournaments that use these sets.

why would you want to spend 200$ on a Aramith set?

Now how does these IPT sets play compared to the other Aramith sets?

I can see the point if your playing in the IPT tournaments but other than that. Save your $ and get a set of Premiers or Premiums and spend the 30$ on the Pro-cup ball.

Hi, What are the differances of the size & weight compared to Pros or Centenials? (spelling is bad I know) Thanks
 
I love starting this argument whenever I get the chance. Saluc (Aramith) swears that all the top-line balls that they make, no matter the name, are the exact same size and weight. When they are told that players say the Centennials are heavier than the Aramith Pro's they say: "They're dreaming". At the BCA trade show one year they challenged anyone to bring a new Aramith ball to their booth for weighing. They all weighed the same.

LMAO, I had to scroll to the right for days in order to get to the place where I can type this. I think it usually happens when someone posts a wide image.

In this case, I assume it was from the OP's answer to why he made a typo. Although, since there was a space between the exclamation points every now and then, I'm not sure why the page would do that.

I hope there's a fix to it, and that that fix is implemented at some point, because its pretty annoying when it happens. (I'm not annoyed at the poster, just at the situation.)

Regarding the balls, I like the look of the Centennials best, and also prefer having the number outside of the stripe. I think its because it has more symmetry that way, like on a shot where the stripe is oriented vertically as the ball rolls, it looks cooler, IMO. LOL. :p
