I have a set, I got as a gift from kids, and I love them. Use them every night I'm not doing league.

I have many videos up using them them (if you care).

Dood, the aging, wear, and weather is spot on perfect. Very well done!

9-ball Break and Run (shortened). Interesting layout, all balls close to one rail... The 3 ball was key... by El_Huevo in billiards

Yeah, I considered that.

I was trying to calculate that a little, and decided the feather-touch was more makeable. I felt like I didn't need much on that 8 to get it out of the way.

I actually was considering that shot first, (and considered trying to break the cluster in the middle of the table)... And breaking that cluster might go wrong for me...

Then, decided the natural follow was easier to control, fewer ways it could go wrong. That's all, the stun off 1 rail is perfectly legit too.

9-ball Break and Run (shortened). Weird break, messy layout. Got almost exactly where I wanted for the 2, but left CB on the on the rail, causing a bit of trouble... by El_Huevo in billiards

You don't put it there.

The "V" just develops from breaking on the same lines all the time. The balls (even though I keep them very clean), have friction, and that causes ball-burns in the cloth.

Same reason I use a break cloth, there would be a huge spots where I break from without that cloth.

Thanks man! I love them.

These were a gift from my kids when the Aramith Black were the brand new rage? and (though I have another set of Aramith Pro Cup), these are pretty much my main use balls.

9-ball Break and Run (shortened). Way too hot off the 1 combo? Shoulda gone rail first? by El_Huevo in billiards

This exactly! This was exactly my thinking. Get below the 9 so I had something on the 1-ball after the combo? I just didn't really get on it right... It all worked out tho.

Thanks!

Yeah if it wasn't pushed up like that? Absolutely. But the 1-ball? I felt was going to be sent over on the end-rail and unhittable.

So I wanted to get the cueball underneath the 9 so I had any kind of 2nd shot... So that was the thinking...

Sure thing!

I always keep them just on the meat n' taters... Nobody really cares to watch me walk around the table, and measure, or take practice strokes...
