Has anyone actually played with a set of Vigma balls? (I'm seeing a lot of them being marketed on Ebay right now.)

Specifically not their funky custom balls but their new sets that are supposed to be 6oz weight and equivalent in quality to the "big two" sets. (Aramith Super Pros and Centennials.)

If so how did you like them compared to Aramith balls? How well or otherwise do they wear over time? How are their cue balls compared to the Red Circle and/or Pro "Measles" Cup cue balls? Have you seen any serious Pool Halls that have converted to these yet?

Thanks

I tested a set of Vigma Diamonds before and they played pretty "light" compared to Centennials or Aramith Balls.

Short term, they seemed fine. I used them for about a week. No clue about longevity.

Thanks. Did you actually weigh them or was it just that they "felt" light? Did you use a Vigma cue ball that came with the set, or an Aramith/other one? (The cue ball contributes a lot to the feel of a set of balls.)

I noticed that particular set is not listed on their website as being a specific weight, whilst some of the others are listed as being "6oz", which is the maximum under the BCA spec.

I did not weigh the balls. The set "played" light using the Vigma cue ball. I did not try them with any other cue ball.
