VIGMA Billiard Platinum Balls — VIGMA BILLIARD PLATINUM BALLS.These weigh 6 ounces each slightly heavier than aramith.Aramith are about 5.8 ounce.Ok I did some tests with these balls to see if the balls roll perfectly straight ,I shot each ball very slow from one side of pool table to a spot that I marked with tape on other side of pool table .So slow just before the balls stop rolling when it gets to the mark.That is the only way you can tell if balls roll straight .The conclusion is they roll perfect. Don’t be discouraged that these balls are made in China .The Vigma Company in China perfected billiard ball making .Ok the next test was the bounce or rebound which is another characteristic which is very important. Vigma balls are made of Kobo resin unlike aramith which are phenolic resin .My opinion is Kobo resin is just as good as phenolic resin maybe even better.. I placed 2 poster cardboards one on top of other on smooth cement floor and dropped a vigma and an aramith ball simultaneously from about 5 feet from cement floor.Both aramith and vigma bounce back about the same height .Next I looked at surface .Vigma is very nice .I really like the font of the numbers and high polish.These balls are much better than any balls made from polymer.It is comparable to aramith in quality and the style of this set looks similar pattern-wise to aramith premier balls except the number font used is better looking and a bit larger which looks classy.Give these billiard balls a shot and buy.You will really like them.Also I advise everyone that owns a billiard table this .Make sure there are no nail heads popping out that hold the pockets in place.They will damage any brand of pool/billiard balls.One thing I did notice with these balls is that the paint is not as hard as aramith.Here was the test I performed .I dropped an old aramith ball and a vigma platinum ball on cement floor both from 10 feet high with out any poster boards on cement floor to protect balls and absorbed the hit.It seems like both balls chip just a bit.but on the aramith it is a little less noticeable.On vigma's website it states that these balls are for home use only.I will buy the VIGMA PROFESSIONAL PREMIER BALL SET .Vigma states that the PROFESSIONAL PREMIER is for both commercial and home use. I will apply the same tests and see if the paint and coating hardness is better than the VIGMA PLATINUM BALLS..

These balls are well balanced, and roll very smoothy. They also have a good rebound off the bumpers. We particularly like the bright, crisp colors. They have an excellent paint job. Definitely a nice upgrade over our previous ball set.

5 good quality for the money
