The Raschig Nine Ball set! World renowned for the balls' roundness.
I dunno, struck me as funny. I've played way too much pool in my life, and just don't recall anyone including myself, ever commenting, "ya know, these balls just don't seem round."
Anyway, cool thread.

It does sound strange I agree, Sparks, but it honestly was a major selling point of these fabulous pool balls. That little booklet in the picture devoted many of its eight pages waxing lyrical about the roundness of Raschig balls, within 0.02 millimetres they promised and a centre of gravity exactly in the middle.
Thank you for having a look, much appreciated indeed.
Best wishes.

Many thanks indeed, CDL.
On a related subject, you would be surprised at how much smaller and lighter some number 1 balls are in certain establishments. The reason being they are always at the apex of the rack for break shots and get worn down quicker than the other colours.
Best wishes.

Ummm, don't think this is true. Particularly since 8-ball is played, at least in the US, at probably a 10 to 1 ratio compared to 9-ball. I believe 9-ball is the only game where the 1 ball is racked at the apex. And also, the balls don't get worn. At least I've never noticed it nor heard anyone comment on such a thing. I've played in probably 100 different pool halls dating back to my college days.

Good afternoon, everyone.
No luck as yet with my original quest for that missing Poker Ball, but I remain hopeful and sincerely grateful for the warm welcome and interest from all on the forum. Over 5,000 views is amazing and extremely encouraging that somebody, somewhere might find the ball one day and remember me.
Please find my new appeal detailed in the wanted poster, below. I am seeking either of these beautiful Hyatt Romanique sets in perfect, unused condition. The set on the left is seldom seen, so rare in fact that I will pay an additional $50 to anybody just for information if it leads to a sale.
Best wishes and thank you for reading.

I'm quite selective in my collecting, favouring the old style number font and logos in the usual spot.
I'm a massive Pac Man fan, one of the relatively few players to have a achieved a maximum score back in the 1980s. Despite my love for this arcade classic these balls from Australia don't really float my boat, they're a bit too amateurish in their design in my view. I'd much prefer a small Pac Man or ghost logo as a substitute for the numbers.
