had never considered this idea, so was naturally curious after looking at this video

emailed aramith, they replied:
In our lower end pool sets, there have been rare instances where the numbers are less worn off than the rest of the ball, because it is not possible to guaranty this as the thermal background and curing time are different. However this happens only when the balls are very small, totally out of specifications, typically around 56 or 56.5 mm instead of 57.15 mm (2.20'' instead of 2.25'') due to the wear with the table cloth and chalk. Furthermore the raising is very small, below 0.002'', in spite of the fact you might be able to feel it.
In our high end sets (from the Super Aramith Pro set) it doesn't happen, however it is not possible to guaranty at 100% once the balls are too worn off.

interesting. wondering if anybody can relate to pat's experience then, and/or now?
