It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Your pics don't work. Go to the top of the main forum for a guide of how to attach pics.Can anyone tell what kinds of balls these are? TIA.

Yeah I see pictures of similar sets but then the 9 and 6 don't have the rounded serif.

Is this based on how they look/what you see or just that you don't recognize them as a known quality set?
Is there some test I can do to see what they're made of?

Thanks. Those don't look the same, though.

Didn't have to quit eating them...just watch what you touch next
How they look. Do you have a kitchen scale? Weigh them in grams. Here's a link to the weights of my various phenolic sets. I'm fairly certain yours will be well below these. I've been a collector for several years and these look like import polyester balls to me but I've been wrong before.
Pool Ball Weights
I was bored today so I weighed some of the ball sets I have for comparison purposes. About the sets at time of weight: Aramith Tournament Set: Brand new, used a few times Brunswick Centennial Set 1: Brand new, used a few times Brunswick...

But the 9 and 6 don't match. They could be too old to find online now. Got them with the GC3 I bought, along with a set of Centennials. The Centennial cue ball is missing, though, so I'm guessing the cue ball I is from the other set.

Yup. Asian-made poly-resin imports.

They can make good scoring beads, I wouldn't have them on my table, not that I'm an elitist, but they (CB especially) can burn the hell out of your cloth.
