Top aramith vs top brunswick pool ballls

In my opinion::
Aramith Tournament with Duramith technology (the newest follow-on product after Aramith Super-Pro)
Given that you are accepting the basic cost structure of "the best balls"; about the only rational reason not to buy Duramith is that you like the 'look' of an Aramith set better. Duramith carries a 10% cost adder above Aramith Super-Pro.
IMO, the Duramith are junk.......They are the same as the IPT balls were in design which are not very good looking either... The Super Pros and the Brunswick Centennials are the best. They are the same ball made with the same resin in the same factory and only the designs are different. I like the Super Pros best! Whichever set you get make sure to also but the Aramith Pro Cup "6 red dot" cue ball and do not buy the aftermarket Chinese balls as they are junk, junk, junk...

Brunswick Centennials are my preferred set. The classic styling and colors are appealing to me and they just seem harder; though I know they aren't.
I have a brand new set of these for sale (and a measle ball if you like). Just PM me.

well, I have a set of aramith pros and the new Duramith tournament set and there is no difference in play, IMO. In fact, the centenialls play the same to me as well. I don't know how one can say one of these sets play more lively than another. So my vote goes to the Duramith tourney set, given Saluc claims that their useful life is double that of the other two sets.

a few weeks ago there was a discussion about this subject. i'm an old guy so excuse my poor memory, but, the centenial balls seemed to be the better for the moment as there was some "scandel" with the production of the latest aramith balls (don't remember the exact arimith balls). also in the discussion it was a matter of what game you liked to play versus which balls to buy or maybe it was the CB, just to let you know it would be good to do a search here in the forum. i think, 14.1 and one ball players would prefer the centenial and 9 ball etc the aramith. again, it was within the last month or so. maybe some of the younger, smarted members can better remember.....:embarrassed2:
This sounds overly complex and untrue,IMO. Considering that the S.A. Pros and the cents are basically the same ball set just with different styling, how can one play better for certain games than another set? Some players may prefer a set over another, but IMO, it's all in their head, at least when comparing the top tier sets. Comparing lesser quality sets to the best top tier ones would yield different results. Having said that, I would be willing to to bet that the average player couldn't tell the difference. He'll, I would be willing to bet that the average pro could not tell the difference either.
BTW, I found a supplier here on azb that sold me a new set of aramith tournament balls for two hundred bucks even. Good value, if you as me.
Cheers...
I believe this also and there is even a difference between measle balls themselves.
The best thing someone can do for their overall game is play with different type of balls.
I have both the Centennials and the Pros, I also use the measle ball and prefer the centennials my self.
When Buddy and Nick were her to film their DVD's I asked them which set of balls they wanted to use. Buddy said if we are using the measle ball we should use the pros as they play together better...

My Measles ball is 0.003 bigger than the rest of my set.
MitchAlsup...and a human hair is .004 thick...so there isn't THAT much difference!

their glossy look
& their speci cations, rebound and playing consistency

look of the table are minimized
& their friction resistance minimizes burn spots as well.

I have all three types and I like the new Duramiths the best. I play mostly 14.1 and they seem to stay clean longer and therefore break up easier.
Two fellow players that share my view are Ron Shepard and Ed Latimer and I respect their considered opinions as well.
