Fast Larry has been to China and is getting a multiple red dot cueball produced there. He has tested it thoroughly and is selling it individually for a very reasonable price.

Now you don't have to buy a whole set of Arimith balls for $200 just to get the cueball. Arimith will be soon forced to put their cueball on the market. the stronghold has been broken!!!!! People are actually buying the $200 set and selling the cueball for $50 on Ebay and buying a cheaper cueball, making a profit on the deal.
 
Why Not Just Get The Best ???

Why not just buy a set of Centennial Balls and get the Blue Circle that comes with it. NOW YOU HAVE THE BEST.

I got the whole set with the measle ball. Love it. I got the Jim Rempe training ball, polish, and a microfiber cloth for less than $200. I think it was $139. I love playing with new balls.

From my understanding, Brunswick Centennials & Aramiths are made by the same company in Belgium. Personally, I have no real preference other than I'd rather play with Super Aramiths OR Centennials over anything else. However, I have noticed a price difference and wondered why this would be so if it's true they're two of the same.

I've been told by stores that carry both sets, and they have basically told me that you are paying more for the Brunswick name. Brunswick has a slightly (and I mean slightly, less than an 8th of an ounce) heavier cue ball.

Brunswick has to charge more money, to pay for their worldwide advertising. Aramith advertises too, mostly word of mouth about thier great products.

They're made by the same manufacturer, but for different customers. They are also not designed the same, so any similarity in price is by coincidence only.

It's like any factory that contract manufacturer things that are of the same level of quality. Nothing should ever suggest that the factory sets the prices. The prices are set by the factory's customers' business and marketing units. In this case, the customers are Brunswick and Aramith. Aramith is Saluc's own brand. Brunswick is Saluc's customer.

Hey Rich, I forgot to ask you as a CCBer, since you like to laugh at the Fast One, if you had fun watching the CCB bozos trying to do his 12 rail shot? This is one of the funniest threads that I have EVER seen. Postulation about using WD40 or silicon spray and nobody could come close to duplicating his shot. They all gave up when a final poster said that Larry did the trick by making the cue ball jump initially and fly off the first 2 rails with no friction. This is what Fast also told me also. The idiots became awful quite when they realized how uncreative they had been.
WW, I'm sorry, but I had very little interest in that thread.
I have minimal interest in trick shots.
FL hit a cue ball 12 rails and he did not make a ball. This has no useful purpose in playing a real game of pool, so it didn't attract my attention.
 
Won't fly!

This will be just another "cheap" copy, made with "inferior" materials; doesn't Saluc have a copyright on their balls. Of course, what does China care about a copyright.

This inferior "spotted" ball WILL NOT react the same as Saluc"s ball because the materials will be different.

Even if the materials are the same does China have "inside corporate spys" at Saluc that know the actual processes?

Whenever you purchase something that's CHEAP, in the long run you will ALWAYS become dissatisfied with it.

In this case purchasing by name is MANDATORY; inferior balls are for inferior players. (period)

I'm one of those lucky few who had a chance to buy the red spot cueball by aramith when it first came out. Had it since 2002. All I did was just nag the store owner everytime I came over :D
 
Red dotted cue balls

I really hope these spotted cue balls take off and the prices for good blue circle cue balls go down. It will be cheaper for me :D I can understand the use for proffesional televised matches, but I don't understand the desire or use for home tables.
JMO, Todd.

same as the use for t.v.

although you don't have an audience that can see what kind of spin is on the cue, you yourself can see the spin you put on the cue.

alot of times i practices with a striped ball, so i can see the amount of spin. maybe i'm just weird but i learn from watching the spin. its a real eye opener when you experiment with different speed, hits, and spin to see what happens after the hit. i use this when i'm actually playing for position as i can imagine how much i want the ball to spin, or roll afterwards.

also you can tell if you mis hit the cue, if it spins differently than you intended, you know you mishit the ball.

thanks

:-) I should be given a gold medal for coming up with this thing, the very least a statue in front of the BCA HQ. FL
Whitewolf



If the statue is located in the "No pigeon fly-zone", I don't think it'll pass the board vote. Hey, if the price is right anything is worth a try. If it's that fast though, sounds like it's coming out on the light side of 6 ounces, maybe as much as 1/4 oz.

I was the first (besides FL who gave me the word) to try out the stroke trainer and gave it a good word on the CCB forum.
How can you sit there and live with yourself for telling such a blatant lie? Who wrote this? Ray or Larry?

My good friend the late Frank Glenn, may he rest in peace, easily tried and reviewed the Stroke Trainer before you or Larry. My goodness, you're ridiculous. Frank was with Dave Hodges at Quick Clean when they shared a booth with Doug Carter, creator of the Stroke Trainer. Many of us saw and tried out his first prototype long before you or Larry ever made your presence known on these forums.

My goodness you have delusions of grandeur.

Fred <~~~ not delusional, wasn't the first
 
Mike,

I thought he was BANNED?

Larry is entitled to his opinion just as I am; I'll still stand on MY opinion of CHEAP copies.

I beg your pardon. I didn't see your review on CCB, or anyone else's That's what I am talking about, the stroke trainer being mentioned of forums. Hell, I saw it at Valley Forge in its early stages when it didn't even look like the current. Why don't you go back and read the CCB threads where Popcorn and other experts blasted the thing. That's what I am talking about and I will forgive your left brain for jumping in here without examining the context my message was delivered in. What ever Fred, I hope you learn to wake up each moring with your right side of your brain working. LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE first. Look before you leap. Come on, you have the ability. Fred I apologize if I was not the 1st to mention the stroke trainer, but I will guarantee you one thing, I was the first to be laughed off the forum for mentioning it to you 'clubbies' on the CCB. Fred, you must learn to read between the lines. I have been bitching about the CCB clubiness for 3 years now and this is just one example where 'clubiness' almost killed a good product. Chriss Cass got one and it took off. Fast Larry's cue ball: another example of 'clubby' idiots blasting it before they even try it out. Join the club bozo. Just ask yourself: what would Whitewolf care about being the 'first' to bring this up? My ego doesn't care. I do care about the freedom of speech on the forums, and this is where I am coming from in case you obviously haven't noticed.

Here is your review Fred:

"Anyway, on to the Predator BK. Did it make my break into something on the order of a professional? Not even close. My break was as weak as ever. However, what I got out of the Predator BK was consistency. I am always hitting to the right of the head ball a little, with a lot of right-hand spin leftover. Normally, with my other cues, I'll have a little right-hand, but because of squirt, I hit the left side of the head ball or the right side of the head ball depending on where I broke from. So with the BK, the adjustment was one way. And, the adjustment was consistent. I'll have to keep working on this, but since the adjustment makes some sort of sense, I've got a starting point. Maybe I need to get the StrokeTrainer http://www.stroketrainer.com to get the stroke straight. Of course, I'll break my fingers trying to get me break stroke straight hitting that aluminum plate."

Fred, you are a piece of work. What a review!!!!!! I'll bet you didn't even try it out for fear of breaking your knuckles LOL.

Yes, you and Glenn did post on CCB before I did (Mar 03), and I don't want to take credit for being the first God forbid. Frank had something nice to say about it. However, you did not get blasted like I did. Could this be because I mentioned the Fast's one's name, or that WW didn't have that many fans? Pardon me if I am wrong, but it seems you did not ever have anything real positive to say about it, and much more the guts to really blast the product.

Maybe you can mention something in Billiards Digest because I hear that the Fast One is making a whole set of balls. Isn't that what the US is all about, capitalism and free choices? Aramith and Brunswick have a monopoly. Wouldn't you like to see the prices come down if Larry's pool balls turn out to be great? And last but not least, maybe you could be the first one to review the balls, if you have the guts, or if Billiards Digest will even allow this LOL.
