Time for new pool balls - Aramith Tournament Pro-Cup or Brunswick Centennial

[fastone371]

I do really like the look of the Centennials!!


Looked at the Dynaspheres but I like the look of the Aramith's and the Brunswicks better.

The Aramith Tournaments are Duramith resin and absolutely stay cleaner longer than Centennials. I have both sets and are both within a year of the same age. I like the Tournament set so much I have a brand new second set waiting in the box when I replace my cloth.

Found this on the Aramith website. A few years old perhaps as I didn't see any mention of the new Duramith technology but definitely an interesting read.

The Story Behind Aramith:

Founded in 1923, Saluc started as a chemical industry specialised in tannery products, but converted after 1950 to billiards balls. Today, Saluc produces and distributes billiard balls under the registered trademark Aramith in more than 100 countries, and has a market share exceeding 85 %...

I don't think the latest resin matters all that much on a home table.

The OP's set latest resin was developed at least 32 years ago and they have lasted 32 years and are still in good condition.

How many spans that long do any of us have left?

It doesn’t matter for longevity, correct. But it matters for how clean they stay, and how easy they are to polish.

The super Aramith pro resin stinks in that regard compared to both the aramith Duramith resin, and the dynasphere resin.

I bought my super aramith pro set brand new, and from day 1 was disappointed at how dirty they get. In contrast, Duramith and dynasphere you can get by without even having a polisher.

The above is all for home use personal experience.
