So, you are saying that the squiggly S cue ball is a different resin than the red dot cu ball and the measles ball?
Then the measles ball and the squiggly s ball are the same resin?
So I can save my $30 and not buy the measles ball??
According to Aramith, the red logo ball (Super Aramith Pro cue ball or squiggly S ball as you put it) that comes with the Super Pro set and the measles ball (Super Aramith Pro Cup cue ball) that comes with the Super Pro TV set are both made with the same Super Pro resin. This makes sense since the Super Pro sets (both the TV and traditional) are matched sets.
Yes, you can save some money because the red logo ball is typically sold for less, but not $30 less. More like $12 - $15 less. Not sure why except perhaps people are willing to pay more for the ball they see on TV.
The red circle ball is made with the Aramith Super resin, which is down the scale from the Super Pro resin.
The red dot CB (as opposed to the red circle) is made with the Aramith Premier resin, also a lower price point.
I myself have at times felt there was a difference in how the red logo and measles balls played but this could be just due to differences in how their graphics make them look like they are reacting.
Also, any comparisons must take into account whether the CBs in question are matched to the set. Say you have a brand new Super Aramith Pro set with the original red logo ball from that set. That ball should be very close in weight to the other balls in that set because the set is matched. If you bring in a measles ball that you bought solo, it may play different simply because it might be lighter or heavier than the rest of the balls in the set.
The only sets I know for sure that are matched are the Aramith Tournaments, Super Pros, and Centennials (with the blue circle CB, made by Aramith for Brunswick and the same as the Super Pros except for the graphics).
