The best pool balls

[MurrayNevada]

Thanks for the info. Are they Duramith like the Tournament set?

I've read that the blue measles ball was designed for Smart Tables. What differences would make that so?

No. It was designed to use at Derby City.

Pretty sure its SAP but i just msg'd them to be sure. I think only Tournament set CB's and the Black measel CB are Duramith.

Not sure but I’d wager the same resin as the Super Pros.

Manning's site says SAP and i'm sure that's right.

I think it’s funny how people shy away from it because it is Smart Table compatible without even researching what the Smart Table technology is/does. It’s a normal Super Pro Measle Ball except for the blue dots and Diamond/Aramith Logo.

Chad at Diamond just confirmed its SAP. People way over-think some of this stuff. I'm sure the Duramith is a little harder as Aramith states but the difference in play is nil. I doubt burn-mark reduction is all that big either. Not enough to get wound up about.

Black measle ball is my favorite. Not too picky about cue balls though, as long as they match the object balls for weight and material.

While true you can't do much after the fact practicing it can be very telling. With these low 12's and 11 mm tips you got to be very precise in your stroke and tip placement.

For just practicing, one of the striped balls is the best. You can see spin in any direction and you can also see where you tip made contact. I still like the measle ball.

When you can only replace the best with ... the best. Thank you, Wayfair.

There is no better deal out there imo. Some really like the dynaspheres but anytime I can buy products not made in china I prefer it. Aramith is king. The colors on the set are really well done. Mine are holding up well.

If budget is a factor then Dynasphere Tungsten or Bronze balls are excellent. Aramith also do cheaper sets for around $100 not sure how they compare to their own more expensive sets (whereas Dynasphere apparently perform well across their whole range).

I was playing pool the other day at a pool hall. The pool balls they gave me were really nice. It made the game quite a bit easier. I usually play on a home table with very old balls. what kind of pool balls are the best. Thinking of purchasing some for my home table. Thanks.

Did they have a solid black ring around the number with two arrows pointing in at the number, if so they where Brunswick centennials, they are made buy Aramith for Brunswick.

Yes, all other upgraded Aramith tournament ball sets include the Measle ball except for the Tournament set that everyone wants the most, with the traditional colors. Makes absolutely no sense!

It's in keeping with the traditional aesthetics of the set. The plain white cue ball goes with the classic colors. Remember, the measles ball was introduced with the TV colors with the intention of allowing the audience to see the spin. So a measles cue ball doesn't quite fit the look of traditional colors.

I own a set of Centennials I picked up for $100 from a person on craigslist and they play very nice.

A set you may want to look up if you have a low budget are the Aramith Crown Standard balls. I've heard nothing but good things about them and can be had for $100 from many sites.
