Dynaspheres and WNT Launch Major Partnership as the New Balls of the Tour
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
When they first went to the purple five Shane was playing an American kid that lined up on the wrong ball. You could see Shane literally hovering over his seat to get up and stop him and the ref holding out his hand to get him to stay still.
Never a boring day in pool. We went from chastising Yapp, to canceling Thomas Haas, to rioting about pool ball colors. Great success, high five!

Let me be succinct………the new ball design sucks big time.

Why does WNT even need the other stripes?
Do they not sell them as full ball sets?
The description says yellow snooker balls are for tables with red or burgundy cloth. Bunch of suckers! They can not play with standard snooker set on red cloth!!!they do make a snooker set with yellow 1-point balls

(and what used to be a yellow ball worth 2 points, is still red in this set
)
Sheldon is right…….I bought my son a set of Shadowfall P790 irons a month ago through a close connection that works for Taylormade. He already has a Qi4D Driver I gave him to get him started. The discount I get makes this more affordable. He has a powerful swing; his driver swing speed is 114-115mph & woods 107-108 mph so he’s a big hitter.
When he goes to the range, he gets inundated with questions about his Taylormade Shadowfall irons. People are drawn to them because they are radically different and just beautiful. Everyone asks how much, which he never reveals. He just gives them the retail price at Golf Galaxy. His driver that is all black Shadowfall Qi4D Core Driver (9 degrees) x-tra stiff became the center of attention on the range as he launched balls with a slight draw that he sent 285-290 yards in the air. People didn’t ask about the price of the driver but they did about the irons which seemed curious.
So when he told me about what happened, I asked him about the makeup of the people approaching him. There was only a woman golfer and all the others were men. Ages were either in his range …..he’s 30……or much older fellows in their 50’s. & 60’s. Probably 2 dozen people in total and the main reason for interest in the Shadowfall irons was no one had heard about this new limited release for 2026. So it was new and people wanted them because they were pretty and new. Interest in the driver was based more on being familiar with this club, knowing which pros were using it and seeing it in the Shadowfall version that’s glossy black that blew them away. It made them want it because it not only was a new release but seeing my son hit 300 yd drives with it sealed the deal.
When it comes to cues, I wonder how much the design and appearance versus playability balances out? Would you still play with an ugly duckling cue if it felt better suited to you than any other cue? My son never asked anyone what their handicap was nor did anyone ask him what his was or how long he’s been playing. Actually he’s new to golf and been playing less than a year but he has the bug now. He lives in San Diego and had a club fitting at Taylormade’s factory when he picked up his irons the very next day after the official press release about the new Shadowfall irons.
It’s the same way in pool. Peoole ask me about my cues and of course, I know everything about their creation. Yet no
one asks me what’s my Fargo rating or APA index or anything like that. I never ask them about theirs because it has no
interest for me. My point is people get drawn to something that is different, like a custom cue design can seem. The
name of the cue maker can be like a brand name in golf clubs. Even if you have tried it, you can still think you want it.
I know golf can be as addictive as pool but fortunately, the cost of pool equipment is a lot less than golf clubs and golf ball replacement costs a whole lot more than chalk. And of course, inclement weather is never a factor….so go play pool.

They do but WNT only does 9ball and look at the 9ball VS the other stripes... Just sell a set for 9ball.
I get that, but it's probably easier to repurpose the balls as a full set once they're no longer suitable for pro play.
The only “9 ball only” set I know of is Raschig made in W Germany from the 80’s. Does anyone know of another? They must have been super poor sellers.
Well what do you know, WNT has once again accepted a large sum of money and free product to name a brand of balls “the official” title of the WNT, thereby allowing the best players in the world to play with less than the best equipment, just as they did with Rasson tables.
While not Aramith, the balls are at least better than those
tables. I do see she doubled down on the retaining a version of her ugly color scheme for them though, F**k Emily. The 5 ball is Orange forever
