Weighing Scales

[itsnoteasy]

You do if your OCD like me lol. 1g sets should be within 1g and not say 1.23g. On a more serious note if your weighing billiard balls the tolerance is a lot less. They need to be within 0.5 between the lightest and the heaviest so scales which round up or down to the nearest gram are no good.

I didn't know that about the billiard balls Bigmeek, good knowledge! Looks like that's another set of scales sold on eBay

Right , finally got round to weighing them . The set is just under 4 years old .

Heaviest was 142.6

Lightest was 140.9 ! Which was red ball ........almost like a rogue ball .

So i made my tolerance 1G less than the heaviest ball .

Ended up changing 2 reds , and the white is the lightest with another red ball .

All the colours as you would expect were virtually the same .

Great set of scales for a fiver and very easy to use .

Which ones did you opt for?

If you mean scales , i bought the jewellers' one that Andy recommended .

Nice one Neil. Easy for a rogue ball to creep in undetected. What ball was the heaviest? Don't throw the old balls away. Handy for spares if they're still in good nick. I'll have them off you if you don't need them! My teams 3g set have a few chipped reds.

I'm tempted to get some scales to weigh my set now but not sure how I'd explain it to my wife when she undoubtedly walks in on me mid operation
