Would those balls have been significantly heavier that today's?

Something didn't seem quite 'right' about how they came off the rails with still so much momentum after traveling so far and with the overall speed of the shot finally slowing at its end.

Of course, I am totally unqualified to make this observation and probably just mad at myself for how poorly I've let my table come to play without proper, regular cleaning.
 
im sure someone will let us know

i would guess they were smaller back in the day by the aramith basic carom ball set that is 2 and3/8 dia


nope they look big standard size


what exact moment does it looks funny to you?
