Pool Ball Collecting.

[Mulambo]

I do have the rule book. The box was unopened. It's just out of the picture. I will gladly share this with you as I don't think that's violating any copyright according to the first page.

I agree. I probably wouldn't have added the yellow snooker ball set but it was a sale price and my US dollar was $0.70 to the Canadian dollar And free shipping. so it made it not so bad. Something different for the collection for sure.

Thanks for the pictures! I think I had scans already as well. I played it once, but I am not sure if I played it correct. Being not a native English speaker, I sometimes struggle with understanding rules if they are very vage on specific points and situations. Like: If I pot purple and miss orange, does purple come back on the foot spot? You know, things like these not the general rules per se…

If the Snooker set would be cheap, I would get one as well. But Aramiths are very expensive, I don’t even have a normal Snooker set from them, only a Chinese one and English Crystalates. I would love to have an American numbered one and maybe the yellow one as well, but I can not afford to spend my money there and better get something else for it

I understand, I find some rules not well explained. I had to read these a couple times.

I see used sets once in awhile for cheap but the shipping would cost a bit to you.

Thanks, I appreciate thinking about me!

Snooker seems not to be very popular here in central Europe. I find a ton of cheap carambolage sets, but never a good and cheap Snooker one...

Does anybody have a set of these here?

Seems to not have been long in business, and never saw anything about these Poker balls anywhere.

And another question: can anyone recommend good sites for finding second hand billiard stuff in the US? I am aware of ebay and craigslist, but maybe there is something else where one might stumble across rare things like the set above...

New acquisitions! Firstly I got a cheap 42mm Snooker set.



I know it should be for small children tables or something like that. But it is Aramith and came with a complete packaging. Even though it is quite beaten up a bit. Balls have no damages, and the rest looks unused as well.

I had to get it, just for nostalgia reasons and the oldschool charme the box has

The second set is a 2“ carpet bowls set.



This set itself is not strictly for billiards, I know. But it will be used to play Table Bowls:

Table Bowls rules

I checked Traditional Games, and a Table Bowls set in this size is over 200,- so I rather take these. The biased balls should be fun, let‘s see how they roll

Miniature bowls is great fun on a billiard table.

Find yourself a little stimpmeter ramp, Mr M.

I had to look stimpmeter ramp up. I use my lag to get a feel for table speed.

 

[Mulambo]

I had to look up stimpmeter as well, never heard that before

We played a lot of Boccette and Petanque already, but never with biased balls. So I was lucky to find them, they are quite fun. We played a few games this morning and thoroughly enjoyed them!

I also have stumbled across a set of these carpet bowls And couldn't pass him up for $30.
They will definitely roll funny because they have a weighted flat spot on each one. I'll have to give them

a try at some point.

Always nice to see balls for the more obscure games in here. Hope you will have a lot of fun hours with them!

I think the rules are the same for Table Bowls on a billiards table, as they are for normal Bowls. My domain is already bought, and my website will go online tomorrow. Hope it is ok to post a link in here! Then you can compare the rulesets yourself
