I finally got one. Delivered in the mail today.

Just wondering. Is there anything special about this CB other than the black triangles?

Each one is infused with the soul of a big cat so it doesn't miss. It's basically magic.

If you drill into the middle you will find that it is laced with skin flakes of all their top players (past and present).

Once you snort this, you will become unstoppable.

For all the 'ball tech geeks' the Pred ball is made from Aramith SAP resin mix. Same as the SAP set and Centennials.

It makes a better sound than my Aramith Black measle ball, but not as cool as my Diamond Blue measle ball.

Even thought all three are made from the same material.

The Diamond and the Pred are SAP, the BLACK cueball is Duramith.

Not really any difference that I can discern. I have one but never use it since I prefer the Aramith Black Dot Measle Ball.
I like it better than the red dot measle balls which I have several. I played with a Centennial Blue Dot Cue Ball this past
weekend as I own 3 sets of Centennial pool balls. I enjoyed playing with it sans any decorative design…..just a white
cue ball and it was great to play with a snowball instead of dots. However, I still prefer the Black Dot Aramith cue Ball.

I have one all white and one 6 black triangle Dynaspheres cue ball, plus a set of Dynaspheres Bronze balls. Both hit great and consistently throughout the product line and are much cheaper than Aramith / Predator.

The black measles ball is Duramith. The Diamond ball is Super Pro.

If you can find them!

Yes, it looks like they aren't prioritizing the manufacturing of them. At least we got one group buy for them done...

I bought one about two years ago. It’s not any better than Black Measle ball, but it looks cooler

Cooler rules. I like the Dynasphers cb's too. https://store.kozoom.com/en/dynaspheres-cue-ball-pool-tungsten-572.html Two triangles. Classy, simple and cool. About $43bux US.

I like the blue Platinum Dynasphere cueball. Switched one of my black ones out for it. So have black and blue. There was a good thread about cueballs a while back. Recommend the OP search for it.

My Black Duramith Measle ball doesn't stay any cleaner than the Arcos2 cue ball

I think the Dynaspheres resin stays quite clean compared to others and it is the same throughout their line...

My take on the 'clean deal' is that various factors can be in play. How humid is the room? What does player have on hands and possibly(probably?) transfer to balls? Type of chalk used? I'm not saying its impossible for some balls to stay cleaner but imo this is way overblown. Unless the 'good Doctor-D' gets really bored and tests every ball out there you can call me doubtful.

I have a feeling many around here aren't very good about cleaning their balls anyway...
