Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)From Iszy Billiard's site:
Grade A deluxe quality Antique style pool ball set - 2 1/4" regulation size and weight - 6 ounce balls
And now the truth:
These are more like Grade C quality, nothing deluxe about it, more like misleading quality - definitely not regulation.
This is a nice looking set of pool balls (in my opinion), just like the ones I shot with when I was young. But folks, this isn't rocket science. These are cheap, made in China pool balls with low manufacturing tolerances. These pool balls widely vary in size and weight, which is NOT as described by Iszy Billiards / Amazon.
I weighed each pool ball with my 35 pound digital scales and found a variance in weight from about 6.35 oz to 6.63 oz oz. I weighed and re-weighed each ball in ounces and grams to get more accurate results. Then, lining up the cue ball and 8 ball along a pool table cushion (the 2 largest and heaviest balls in the set) with any other ball in between these two balls, showed a variance in height of about 2 mm. That too is not regulation. Any straight edge will work. But I used a high grade aluminum ruler over the top of the cue ball and 8 ball to easily see the gap between the ruler and each other ball in the set.
What makes this even worse:
I bought this set several months ago when Iszy Billiards / Amazon previously listed it here - when that listing had a few reviews, which included my original review. However, Iszy Billiards / Amazon deleted that previous listing and all of the reviews. They apparently did this to keep customers from reading the reviews (or primarily mine since it was so scathing) so they could sell more of these inferior pool ball sets. Iszy Billiards / Amazon re-listed this item, but changed nothing in the description - leaving it still incorrect and misleading.
Shame on Iszy Billiards. And hopefully Amazon will implement measures to prevent this type of unscrupulous practice from reoccurring.
