Measle ball should not be used during matches

The red, blue and black black measles are available on Manning Cues and none of them are Chinese counterfeit.
Getting the original is worth the price or don’t even bother. The finish and weight of counterfeit versions are suspect.
Yes the quality is not world grade by any means. Not a deal breaker for me.
 
Think of it this way…..an original measles ball is equal to the price of a couple of pieces of more expensive chalk or top
brand pool gloves nowadays. However, the best part is the measles cue ball doesn’t wear out or have to be replaced.
 
I have the red measles ball, the black measles & the blue measles cue balls.
The red one is from Aramith while the black and the blue versions are Saluc.

The dots are distracting for aiming purposes but it admittedly gives feedback
about rotational spin of any measles cue ball. It is hardly a gimmick or crutch.

On a blue Simonis cloth, I play with the blue measles ball. On a green Simonis
cloth, I play the red measles cue ball. But the black measles ball is my favorite.

While do I change? Blue on blue looks the best, red on green is the perfect color
contrast reminiscent of Xmas colors & the black measles just looks really bad ass.
Aramith and Saluc are one and the same. Aramith is the registered trademark of Saluc.
 
I actually like the red dot cue ball and it feels lighter than the Aramith Pro Cup.

But if you have to play with the APC you might as well get used to I, because it definitely plays heavy.

I knew that but the Aramith Red measles cue ball is sans any logo and the Black and the Blue measles balls do.
The red version hasn’t any branding but the black and blue version do have the Saluc logo imprinted on the balls.

It is makes it easier to counterfeit the red measles cue ball but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery it’s been said.
So I make a the distinction since the other color measles balls are legally branded with the Saluc logo. It seems right.
 
I carry the black freckle ball from my Tournament Black set with me. Gives me a better indicator of what the CB is doing and plays better than the usually battered CBs in the pool halls. I'm tempted to bring my own set because i'm getting tired of mismatched/worn out balls that don't rack tightly, but i also don't want to be *that guy*...

Your post confirms why I got an Aramith travel case long ago and carry a set of Centennials that are the best pool balls.

I also have the Aramith case for them. We have a dumpy 7 footer in my apartment that's functional for ironing out stroke issues...
Got the Tourney Black set on sale, but don't get to use them much. They're fantastic with template racks and i love playing with them though.
 
Do maybe 5seconds of searching and you'll see it was designed FOR matches so sweaters/viewers could see the spin.

Everyone still haven't given me a reason why it is now the "default" ball to many players like myself that don't play on TV.

Like I said, it is a training ball to me. Just look at the response here. It's people saying they don't know how there ball is spinning during a match. It's actually a crutch. They need to see if they are hitting it correctly or else they wouldn't know. An advanced player will know what kind of spin they put on the ball intentionally or unintentionally right after contact.

If you want to bring up dimensions and weight then you would have a better argument except its size and weight is very similar to all the blanks out there.

Train with measle ball.

Play with blanks.

Because patrons don't directly determine business choices like which balls the owner chooses.

The majority of us know about spins but is isn't a binary thing. It is possible to hit centerball that isnt actually, and the measle is an easy diagnostic for that.

But you knew that. You just like to convenently forget to support your dim.
