This guy is so enthusiastic and aways a great watch aswell its made me think now

The ball manufacturing is exactly the same by the way, the only difference is they’re sorted at the factory prior to packing and sets made to make a set as close as possible.

Came across this channel recently, I really appreciate the work you do for your followers. Hope you will have million subscribers ❤️Love from Mussa in Uralsk, Kazakhstan🇰🇿

Before few months i made a test here in the oldest town in Europe- Plovdiv, Bulgaria.I put the brown ball on its spot ,3/4 cut to the yellow pocket trying to play it down for the blue with max screw and top spin using 1G and later 3g balls. After playing the same shots many times with each set i came to the conclusion that 1g balls are more lazy and you dont have such positional possibilities like the 3g balls. With 1g you cannot place the cue ball where you can place it with 3g. Also there is a difference in throw when playing shots more than 3/4 cut at slow speeds.And we are talking about plain ball striking !Adding spin makes things very different ! Even Aramith are saying that although they look identical they play different. Stefan ,Bulgaria!

Great channel, fell out of love with snooker for a while but this channel has helped find love for the game again:)

Been a fan for a long time. I don't play, but I do enjoy watching your work. Thanks from WInchester, Virginia!

Glad I have insomnia tonight so I can catch your new, informative video! Big love from Canada.

Love the new video quality. Big improvement. Hopefully you can also raise the bar for the audio quality. Small improvements can make a big difference. But let's face it, we are all here for the content, and the content is great. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Grembergen, Belgium.

Support all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. Loving every video you make!

That moment you think the video is about to end but you realize you're only half way through it. Love your videos bro ❤

Greetings from Yuma, Arizona! Awesome videos!

Loving the testing videos, Henry from Sheffield.

Lovely video! You are so informative in your videos and explain everything so clearly! Jacob from Plymouth, England

Hello from Sydney Australia! Just got my set of these (in the shiny case!) today. I haven't had a chance to use them as, and although they were not at all cheap to purchase, the balls at my local club are a real mix up of chipped very heavily used balls. I kind of bought these out of desperation as I noticed at last week's practise, I missed a few fairly simple shots fractionally and noticed some pretty decent chips in the balls (especially the cue ball). As always, great content BFL!

2 weeks ago I bought a set of genuine Aramith Premier snooker balls. They are 2.125" diameter and they came in an Aramith green box. I paid $188 American for them which also covered shipping. I am more than pleased with the quality of this set. Here in USA snooker tables are rare. Here in the Kansas City area we only have two snooker tables and both are 5 X 10. Ah such is life. It's all we have. The clubs who have these snooker tables have snooker balls that are in very bad condition; lots of nicks, dirty, faded. So I bought my own set of balls and I think it was a worthy investment. I did go looking on Amazon for a functional hard case for my snooker balls. I found a suitable hard case for about $20. I keep the case/balls in a personal locker at my club. When I'm finished playing I take my balls with me. If others are going to continue playing after I leave they have to use the balls provided by the club - or they can buy their own balls as I did. Anyhow - the topic if this video is VERY much appreciated. Love your channel. I subbed some months ago. You keep it fun as well as instructive.

i enjoy all of your videos - thanks for making them

Huge hello from Martin & Karina from Parnu, Estonia! Huge thanks for all the tips!

Love your videos mate. Much love from Tasmania Australia

I have both sets, not much difference to be honest. I play with the more expensive ones but that's probably because they're a nice colour but in terms of what they're doing on the baize - nah. A world of difference between the old style that Steve Davis and those before used but between the club and executive set - save yourself the money and buy the cheaper ones because they are a phenomenonal quality. Great stuff BFL, keep it going.

Love this channel. Brilliant videos 👍

What a load of balls! Very informative and in depth analysis make's your channel one of the best. I'd be interested to know where my local club get their ball's from and whether there mass produced and cheap, compared to the tournament balls.

Much love and support from Novi Sad, Serbia 😁❤️🇷🇸

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your channel, even though you're a lifetime ahead of me as a player..

Waiting for this video for a week👌🏻 learned alot from Your videos big respect sir Abdullah from Multan,Pakistan

Love the content mate, cheers. Jason - Sydney Australia.

Ur vids are so good man! I’m from Buckinghamshire in the Uk!

I love the channel. Mad in snooker. Dan from Coventry, UK. Keep it up 😜

Always great videos. Dean from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome videos man, Love from Malaysia

Fascinating video my friend - great job! Greetings from Sam, living in Suzhou, China 🇨🇳

Looking forward to more accurate trick shots with the new balls 👍

Hey love the videos from Tauranga New Zealand 🇳🇿

Let me also add that, having played new, top-quality balls vs older ones, I have noticed that I have to play a bit harder to get the same action. I've never had a scale to test mass tolerances, but can definitely feel when one set of balls at a hall feels like a different weight than another at the same hall.

Interesting view on the types of balls and they roll and wonder if pool balls react the same. Great video and keep up the good work and greetings from Kent uk

Love your videos pal, watching from sunny Hofu, Japan :D

I'm enjoying your videos - Ade from Truro in Cornwall.

Great vid loved watching in Chesterfield england

Class video mate, all the best from Joe, Belfast, Ireland

Great video and interesting points. I ended up buying the TV set of balls as couldn't justify paying the extra money for a case and not a massive difference.

Love your channel!! Please do a special edition sometime on three cushion billiards sometime!!

You are right. On the pro tour they use 1Gs packaged in a standard cardboard box. I use 1Gs myself so when I saw Brendan Moore at World championship qualifying packing away the balls in a box I asked him about them as I also assumed they were Tournament Champion balls.

Brilliant video much respect from kildare, Ireland

Really interesting as always :)

Great video, cheers from Medan, Indonesia ❤

1G’s are (or at least were) available in the traditional TC box, they have a round sticker on the front saying 1G, they’re provided for tournament use. At one time you couldn’t get the 1Gs in the silver box. That said I know that regular Tournament Champion balls are often used at large events.

Will from York - United Kingdom Keep up the good work!

My friend just got a table that came with new perfect condition 3G balls, consisting of brighter reds. I felt that his balls were playing totally differently as the cue ball seemed to spray more. So we got in a gram scale and all of his were within 3g but weighed in from 126- 129 g. My buddy's highest run with his balls on his table was 42 points. We weighed my new 1Gs and they all came in at 142.5 or 142 g bang on. My buddy promptly ran 68 with my 1Gs. We immediately noticed very little 'spray' with the cue ball compared to his lighter balls but for us, it is harder to draw the cue ball back as far with the heavier 1Gs. We also play this game of billiards that we have heard is called Indonesian Billiards where you must got out with exactly 69 points and we have found there is a significant difference with the action of the 2 sets of balls, because a game of Indonesian requires caroms half the time and the angles that the white takes off the object ball is noticeably different. The 1Gs are clearly better.

Good vid man. Watching these lately has got me itching to get back in the club 🙃 Tom from Middlesbrough.

Lennart, from Hamburg, Germany! Keep up the good videos!

You're Videos always help me to improve my Cueing !!!! ❤️👍 from Jabalpur , Madhya Pradesh ,India !!

Love your channel. Kyle commenting from Birmingham, AL, USA.

We change our balls @ Balsall Common Snooker Club in Coventry every 2 years and the cloths every year. When I first joined the club 20 years ago it was fairly easy to move the white ball about until a visiting player from div 1 complained about it being too light. On further investigation after replacing both sets someone had thought the white balls weren’t white enough in both sets so bought two others that were much lighter in colour and weight. Love the videos 👏🏼👍🏼 Can’t wait till we open again 🍺🍺🍺🍺

The 1G set are the same quality as the TC balls, the weights range from approx 138-144 grams. The 1G (gram) set means the 22 ball set can only have a weight tolerance of 1gram between lightest & heaviest ball. The Tournament Champion set has a 3 gram weight tolerance. Plus a nice silver ball case

6:04 Oh my god, this is last place I'd have expected to see Tyler1's face xD.

Greetings from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 ,just keep it up! 🙂

Great video. I have a full size table and need to buy some new balls. The table is quite slow and my previous set of aramith tournament champions balls like these were really hard to get any cue ball action on. Am I better to buy the lighter and cheaper aramith balls for a slow table?

Good information mate💯🍀🚀

Curious how the high grip would impact your massive draw shot attempts. Would it be less due to speed loss prior to hitting, or more due to grip after hitting the object ball?

Despite the comments below saying otherwise, I do wonder if the resin is exactly the same between TC and 1g, after the observation about gripping the cloth. Weight tolerance wouldn't account for that.

Always tuning in to these videos from Sheffield (snooker capital city😉)

always enjoy the video's. ken from Ravenshead.

Much love from Slovenia, Ljubljana :)

Andy from Belfast - great videos!

I'm not sure how it works in billiards exactly but in tenpin bowling, outside of topology of the lane and the oil used (billiards equivalent would be the slate and cloth) the outer cover material of the ball and the way the ball is weighted (with a heavy, often asymmetrical core) massively changes the way each ball feels. I wonder if there is a difference in the outer finish of each sets where maybe the higher end set has a more consistent finish versus the other set.

Great video! Keep it up break from life Nottingham England 😉

G'day from Gorran Haven, Cornwall. I'm interested in knowing what level you play at when you play tournaments as you look like a very good player.

Also have both this sets, weight it. Find no any differences, all balls was about 140-142 g. Have aramith practice ball ( looks like "tv cueball" also 142 g), but could not screw it at all. Found 127g cueball from old aramith premiere set( all balls 127, lot easyer screw and rotate). Interesting channel, greatings from my garage (with table) from Arkhangelsk.

I've always been curious about something and have never been able to find the answer. Is it possible to find/buy your own custom 'clear' resin balls? I know American Pool balls can be easily made but I've never managed to find anything about snooker. Would be awesome to see!

Hi there great video very informative, but can you answer me? do different pro tournaments use different ball manufacturers or is it a standard for each tournament's. Stick a 📌 in Leicester for me.

WOW cool video, i dont have a snooker table but i like to watch it:D Helo from Switzerland

I have these in a box with round 1g sticker on and season used. The pros get a free set every year to practice with so my mate gave me his old ones for my home table. Feel heavier and more grippy like you said on my table but fine on his super fine cloth match table.

Can you do a video about cue's and how to get a cue smooth or non dragging on the thumb please? Every cue I own starts to drag after a while.

Great stuff

Using your videos for the past 6 months...Noticed a lot of improvement in my game .Lots of Love ❤️❤️❤️ from Andhra Pradesh, India.🇮🇳

Love the content ❤️ from Glasgow Scotland so not that far :)

Always Love your videos, Azeem from Sialkot,Pakistan🇵🇰

Love you videos, Yasser from Safi Morocco

Hello everyone! Before going ahead with the purchase of new balls, especially if you already own a set of Aramith 1G's and you want those again, since they're are pretty costly, use the Aramith ball cleaner + Aramith ball restorer first to see if you can get them back to looking new again, whichever ones you currently own. If not and only if not then go ahead with your new balls expense. I am in Canada and finding those products on Amazon Canada was pretty easy so I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for you as well! :-)

Just a question no harrazment just wanted to ask so you regularly change your table cloth for the same smoothness the pros have?

Good review, from Jersey City, NJ, USA

I love snooker, thank you for your good videos. Javad from ardabil (Iran)

Cheers for an interesting video mate. I noticed the change in the cue ball right away mainly because it was a gram heavier seemed to react more. Ps Snooker Shed lives in Kirkcaldy Fife

On the point of white balls not lasting as long would it be worth buying two at the beginning and alternating use?

Big fan from Noida,India 🇮🇳 ...want to ask that is wide tip cue creates better screw shots ?? I find screw shots more comfortable with a wide tip cue

What about the surface smoothness of new balls ? And hi. From Santa Rita. Paraguay

Enjoyed the video I don't think I've ever seen a review of snooker balls before Where did you get your 100 year old billiard balls?

This is quite interesting. I wonder if the difference is larger on a pro table with its brand new cloth, and where in the work game tolerance is magnified.

I bought the 1G set around 9 months ago and for the first 4 months we were not in lockdown. I was able to use the for 6 hours a day 6 days a week constantly. I noticed a significant difference to those of the “club” standard set. They had more weight, grip and the polish of them made them far more easier to see - meaning I could pot more! However, I do understand you may be paying £90 more for the 1G compared to the tournament pro but I feel that over a longer period of time the balls will play abs feel a lot better than them. From my experience the most significant difference between the two are the cue balls. They have slight difference in weight but the actual feel of the shot is much better with 1G.

What about condition, age, quality of cloth? I'm playing billiards on my newly recovered table (Hainsworth Precision) with new cushion rubbers. The balls I use are between 3 and 10 years old depending on the set. I find all the sets consistent in terms of run through on the 20+ league tables I use them on but achieving similar run through in the new conditions I find much harder, I find this counter-intuitive.

Saying hi from Halifax, Nova Scotia

Luis from Hong Kong p- I love your videos so I get better at snooker

It would be cool to take these balls to a machine shop where the surface roughness can be measured.

Love and respects from Shahdadkot, Pakistan 🇵🇰.

If I use Aramith polishing cleaner on my cue ball after every home practice session, is my cue ball getting lighter over time? Solution might be to have several new cue balls and take well-used ones out of rotation. I like the Aramith Pro Cup "measle" ball and the Aramith blue logo for value (American pool size)

You did a comparison in yan’s and Steve’s technique . Can you do a technical comparison between jack lisowski and Ronnie ? They look quite alike tbh they even play alike . Could You?

Hello from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia!

Great videos, Daniel hufton from louth lincolnshire England 😎

I bought the blue box set over Christmas, before I had bog standard/old set, I was told getting the blue box amarith would increase quality by 80-85% and getting the even more expensive set would only increase by extra 5/10% so decided wasn’t worth paying the extra for them

So why do the 1 gram balls roll slower? Better spericity so there is more surface contact? I cant really figure that out...

Fascinating to learn about. And I don't even play snooker.
