Hey I am with you on the Raschig remake, I actually contacted Rashig and they are not making any more. I lost out on the last set I saw on Ebay, other guy went to about $460 and won it. I was over my limit at about $300 but kept bidding, still pissed I didn't get it
Anyway, I searched long and hard and found these. I had to contact them to put the capability to ship to a US address. The site is updated now, and you are better off using paypal than a credit card. I used the translate option and it worked pretty well on Chrome, but the button and stuff won't translate so it is a bit of a stretch. Shipping will cost you 50 Euro's so all and all you are looking at about $175. I have not received them yet but figured I would through this out there for everyone, who loved that 9 ball set as much as me, but can't find the original ones. You can get without numbers too...
There was a recent thread on a group buy that was overwhelmingly successful. Perhaps you can organize the same so it would be worth Cyclops time and effort.
A former World champion (no names) was shown a set of these balls.
He said "But they got no numbers..Earl won't be able to beat anybody
with these.
:smilewinkgrin:
I have not even gotten a chance to play with them yet. Just came today. Raschig was the best balls ever made, I just wonder if we are catching up in technology. Those Aramith Tournament balls look nice, I have not seen a set of Raschig since 91 so I probably am not going to be able to compare.
The balls being discussed came up in a google search for "Aramith 9 ball set." Everywhere I saw them for sale listed them as being Aramith Premier balls... which, from what I understand, are not of the same quality as the Raschig set. Still good, and the difference is reflected in the price.
