Question for "moderate" skilled player. Sportscraft pool ball vs Aramith Lower-ends

I am wondering would a moderate skilled player notice a difference from KMART pool balls which are most likely made by sportscraft, compared to aramith's lower-end pool balls?

I had to put up my pool balls to make some cash for bills and am trying to just get some balls that will play somewhat close to my local pool halls balls (they have aramith pros and brunswick cent's).

I just am looking for opinions in the amount of difference a kmart set of balls, generic, that go for like $25 and a $60 set of aramiths would be for a moderate skill leveled player is. Would it be a tiny difference? (durability doesn't matter to me, only how they play, roll, etc)


If I really wanted I could buy brunswick cent set, but I doubt I could tell the difference between them and some aramith lower-end set besides they're luster and better look in play ability. I'm sure a lot of you can but I am not amazing pool player.

Since I have stuff I need to pay for more important then pool I am asking the above question. I can buy the aramith's if they'd be a big difference from sportscraft set, for a moderate player. Just want a few honest opinions. No insults etc etc. I have a thread looking to buy some aramith balls for like $25-$40ish range depending on the set, and everyone had told me you get what you pay for. Im sure they will last much longer (super aramiths and brunswick cent's) but I just need to know the exact question above.

thanks very much

I'm by no means an expert on the subject, but I think what you may find in cheaper ball sets is that they are manufactured with slightly higher tolerances for imperfections. The odds of the balls being slightly out of round, or of slightly varying weights probably go up a bit with the cheaper balls. I doubt it would be very noticeable as long as you keep them nice and clean and don't get unlucky by ending up with some balls that have more severe imperfections, in which case I guess you could exchange them for a different set. I have seen cheaper sets of balls where you would have to spin them or move them around in the rack to get them tight, presumably due to one or more of them being slightly out of round. I have not experienced this with centennials or super aramith pros.
