Hi, Tom. Appreciate your kind words. I've been following the thread with great interest.

Stevelomako kind of hit the nail on the head, in my opinion, in that most rooms -- and I emphasize "most" -- buy their equipment in bulk with the intention of providing a playing field for their everyday customers.

I've been to some rooms where there's a different cue ball on every table, red circle, red dot, red triangle, blue dot, blue circle, black dot, et cetera. In these instances, one must adjust their game from cue ball to cue ball to cue ball. It is the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

It's like I said before, I just wish they went back to the old blue circles which were prominently used in the early '80s. It seems like the balls haven't been the same since then.

As far as the other pros go, I think they prefer the red circle because this is what they've played with the most in recent times. I think the old-time campaigners, like myself, prefer the blue circle, and the ones that have the longer strokes probably like it, too. As you know, you have to have a stroke to get that blue circle on automatic pilot.
