what's the difference between

Aramith Tournament Champion

vs

Aramith Cristalate ???

ARAMITH CRISTALATE appears to be more expensive than the TC, does that mean it's better????

Try Aramith

[vucko117]

I have played with both TC and Super Cristalate. TC are better IMO. They seem a bit heavier and much more easier to play with. Don't know why but I seem to get much more kick and bad contacts with cristalate ones

[snookerfan91]

Alot of people swear by Aramith

Vucko117 Would you be able to explain a bit more about your preference for a heavier ball being easier to play with? I'm a very average player looking to buy a set of balls and I was thinking the LIGHTER balls would be better? Possibly they would spread around easier on the heavy club table cloths I play on and also I was thinking that I could control a lighter white easier? Am I way out?
Noel Looked at those £30 balls on the link you provided. Are they worth buying or would I be best paying a bit more for Aramith? I heard the Aramith kept their colour and were less likely to chip. I'm not looking for perfection just good value for money. Any thoughts?

Sure mate... if you want to get used to the correct reference weight and responsiveness of the balls the pros use...
the Pro Tournament are the only way to go... and they should last a lifetime.
The lesser quality Club balls are meant to be serviceable in an environment where they will be bashed around,
knocked off tables, dropped and possibly stolen.
Aramith is one of the leading ball-makers in the world... their technology for very close tolerances in mice and track balls
and in other high-tech areas is top drawer.

PS... if you shop around you'll find way better pricing I'm sure

[snookerfan91]

Keep shopping around I'm sure you will find out what you're after.

[vucko117]

I'm not saying that they ARE heavier. Only when you hit the TC they seem to be heavier as you have better feel. IN terms of playability I think that TC are way better then cristalate ones. And it seems easier to spread around TC. Also the screw shots are much easier to play with TC.
But this is only my opinion
