I saw a cheap set of aramith premier today, thought i'd try them out because i don't want to use my 1g set with just everyone, to my surprise these premiers are much heavier (162 grams) and seem to be much bigger.
Whats up with bigger then 'normal' size? in which case is a set of bigger balls used?

Lolz I do that too when packing the balls away, I've no idea why, but can't handle just chucking them in any old how

With all this talk about Super Crystalate i feel like getting such set too, or is that silly if you already have a 1g set

I got a set a few months ago from mcbilliard, my box has the new 'WST' logo and not World snooker so i assume your set is from before the switch to wst, not that that is worse in any part.

Anyone with a better date?

Higgins may have been a bit of a drunken idiot most of the time ,but he did say what he thought .
It’s these opinions and others from Higgins that the WPSBA tried to silence on numerous occasions. He had a point at times but of course most of it was lost in his drunken rants which was a shame .
