Played with the ball a fair bit last few days and not noticed an increase in kicks, the marking is still clearly there, probably something I may need to re-write once a month ish when playing regularly. Time will tell.

Yes I like the uv idea let us know how you get on. I wonder how long it will last on the ball

Had a couple of hours solo today and the new ball plays perfectly. Happy days!
Also had an idea, I've used a permanent ink infrared pen to mark my initials on the ball! You can buy the pen torch combined on eBay

Oh well, if I was playing golf my costs would be a lot higher in terms of balls and its always nice to buy something new and shiny.

I used this guy in Wales to buy from 12;95 inc delivery https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ARAMITH-T...UAAOSwmVBbK819
Still cant believe some toad swapped my cue ball out! I pretty much only play in my social club, people eh!!

it is strange, I have asked them in the past but did not get any real information in the reply
Yes - I believe Chesworth Cues will weigh balls before sending out

remember, 1g and 3g balls are the SAME balls, just that Saluc/Aramith spend a little longer weighing them to the finer tolerance and make up the 1g sets.

This seller says weight is 140g. Would be ok to fit into most 3G sets but maybe not 1G sets.

Even if its not my original ball its still looks and feels like a TC, Im shocked they actually get smaller!! how does that happen and how do they remain perfectly spherical?! Answers on a used Ten pound note please!

Would love to see the production process at Saluc and an explanation of why the balls end up all different weights E.g. 3 grammes difference between the lightest and the heaviest. I would have thought that in a manufacturing process using machines, and maybe computers, all the balls should be the same weight. Maybe the process is not as automated as I’m thinking. I heard that the liquid phenolic resin is poured into moulds and allowed to harden. After that the moulds are broken open and the balls go through some sort of “smoothing and polishing” process. Maybe that means that each ball is unique. Don’t know.Last edited by Nifty50; 21 November 2019, 08:34 AM.
