Aramith cue ball turned yellowish

[poolqjunkie]

Hi,
I have my own set of Aramith TC balls but has recently played with a friend who took his own set with him. The cue ball that he had was quite a bit more yellowish than mine.
I am wondering if it is normal that they might have turned yellow over time, or perhpas do they come in slightly different tone?
Thank you.

They Mostly Turn Yellow Over Time!

Very Rarely they come Different Colour White but always a Chance!

I would Say his White has been Played with alot more and Maybe Cleaned in Wrong Solution.

Hop this Helps Gaz.

How long usually do they start to turn yellowish?

probably needs to use aramith green bottle

Could also be that aramith are using another colour/material for the white lately.
Bought quite a few billiards sets and also saw some new snooker sets over the last years and the newest had a brighter white out of the box.

I have purchased a brand new Aramith cue ball from a friend (he told me it is a Aramith TC cue ball but I never saw the package) and it looks a bit whiter than my other TC cue ball that came with my set.
Reason why I purchased it was because my cue ball that came with the set was only 139g while all my other balls are around 140-141g. Could be just from me using it that it has become lighter or that it was that way in the beginning, I am not sure as I did not measure them when they were new.
The difference between this new white cue ball and my original cus ball is not that siginificant, but when I tried my friend's yellowish cue ball they look very different from the whiter new TC cue ball.
Is this normal?

It depends on ..........

1, How much the White is being Used
2, How old is the White
3, The Light Conditions over the Table
4, Have they Been Washed
etc etc

And also Depends on the Snooker Ball Set you buy? Aramith, Crystalite, etc etc

I could go on all day but theres just a Few...

They are all tournament champion balls.
1. What would happen when it is used very often, will it change colour because of that?
2. Does that mean Aramith tournament champion cue ball will turn yellow once it gets old?
3. Yes, that is true, it could be the light...
4. I guess if they have been washed by something inappropriate then they might change colour...but what about if they have been washed with the Aramith ball cleanser? I do notice that the tournament champion cue balls in local clubs do not really change colour and I believe they are being cleaned with the aramith ball cleanser very often. They are also being used much more often than my own set I am sure...so, I am just really confused.
