Who has the best looking set of balls

I know I will be in the minority but I prefer the Cyclop balls with Centennials coming in second and Aramith third. Yes, I have owned them all and regularly practice with the Cyclop. I sold the other 2 sets after I obtained the Cyclop. And of all 3, the Cyclop seem to stay cleaner longer.

Another note, at one time I owned all three sets and found the Cyclop weights to be exactly the same on every ball. Both other sets varied ever so slightly.

I am with you. Got rid of the Super Aramith balls and went with the Cyclop balls. I do have the Aramith Duramax Tournament balls that I play with occasionally. Found the Super Aramith balls get dirty and dusty. RKC says the Cyclop balls are built just the way the Brunswick Centennial balls were in the early days. Got to go with RKC's advice.
 
I have always played w super pros and recently switched to cyclops. I really like them so far, stay clean better than super pros. Mine are tv colors with a green dot cue ball. I cant find much info on this color set and west state was the only place I found them for sale.

The set in your picture is not the tv color set....

What set would you call them? The pink and brown were originally called "TV" years ago when aramith started making them.

Aramith tournament for me. I just bought a set as a xmas gift for myself.

I’m a little concerned that i may have gotten a previously used set though. I bought them from nielsen’s billiards on ebay. I’ve bought from them in the past and i trust them. But when i opened the box there was some dust on them (i dont see how u can get dust on them if its shrinkwrapped) and the 8ball and 2 ball had some minor scuffing on them. I thought about sending them back but i didnt wanna go through the hassle.

At one point Aramith was using specially marked shrink wrap to alert people to such potential problems. I don't know if they still use it. A pool hall I used to play at bought a replacement set of Aramiths and got knock-offs in an Aramith box but no shrink wrap. I think the store they bought them from set up a table for someone and said, "You don't need this box any more, do you?" A $30 set of balls turns into a $200 set of balls instantly. Well, except for the slightly funny colors and some other problems.

I love my Cyclop skittles and you can't beat the bang-for-buckitude of them, but if budget was no concern I'd have gotten the centennials. They're just sharp looking.

My wife says my old dirty balls are fine she doesn't need a new pretty set there is your all punchline I no everyone here been waiting for lol
