Tournament balls on club tables ?

[sydneygeorge]

Premier weigh about 128g each and TC's are around 141g each. Quite a big difference.

Buy the TC or 1 G, you won't regret the investment, BUT, you have watch them like a hawk lest an imbecile decide to try one of your reds when your back is turned in conversation.

Are Super Crystalate balls used in clubs anymore?

Your cueing improves by using the heavier tournament balls, mainly because it has to! You get little response unless you cue the ball well, so you learn to cue better. My local snooker hall bought 16 sets for all tables and now when members play anywhere else they complain about the light balls and various nicknames such as 'toy' balls and 'ping pong' balls have been attached to them.

+ 1 to this, having recently got a set of TC s, as someone else said when you first use them, on follow through shots the white forgets to stop, but on screw back, if you don't accelerate right through or tighten that grip at all, you will get very little reaction, but time it well and they seem to give more. I wish I had taken the plunge a while ago.

I would recommend them to anyone. I'm not a brilliant player by any means but playing with these balls improves the game just down to kicks alone! No chips, dirt spots etc make for a much better contact all the time.,
Keep them clean and your onto a winner making the game easier to play for a start.

How did you make sure it was your ball. What happened. Did he just take the ball from your table?

[Catch 22]

Picked up a set of tournament champion balls today . I'm just in from a few hours of play with them .

The difference is night and day . I tried them on a couple of different tables and I found them to be better on all shots . Cueball screws back better , follow through better and react a lot better of the cushions and with side . I thought I would have trouble moving the heavier white around the table well , but I was the exact opposite . I played a lot better than usual

I got a set of 1g's, great investment, still get the odd kick, but they play a dream.

What if the cloth isn't in a good condition, just wondering if different balls will make any difference on poor cloth
