I gotta say that the prices are a bit over the top, I got a ball case for a set of Centennials that I got a year back and I was able to get a carrying case for £20  I hope that something will come up for you Paul as it seems like the UK still has some catching up to do in terms of available equipment, but it's most definitely getting there Take care everyone Willie

I have one of those ball cases and they are made out of the same stuff as low quality pool cue box cases. I have had mine 2 year it has never been out the club but it still falls appart every other week. Next time I am going to get one of those cheapo tool brief cases out of a DIY shop and fill it with foam. You know the ones with the aluminium corners.
£45 is a lot of cash for a hunk of junk and it does not even lock - I know I paid it ;-(

That does surprise me mole that you have had probs with your case.
Ive sold them both for snooker and pool and havent had any complaints.
Ive got one myself which ive had about a year and its still in tact prehaps you have just had a badly made one??

Nice 1 Paul , It's a worth investment and it'll keep your ivories in better condition for loads longer than a cardboard box will There are a few different brands of the carying cases andyes, you fill be unlucky to find a trashy case that will fall apart, just like The Mole was saying, but there are good quality cases out there also and I was able to get a good quality case, but then again, when I was buying the case, I had a chance to inspect it before I bought it and so I new it was a good case that I was getting, but if you're ordering one, then it's hard to tell if you're getting a good solid case or now, but just like Tricky has said, if you're buying from a retailer that stocks them and has had no complaints, then that is the way to go Take care everyone Willie P.S. Does anyone here in the UK know of where I can buy a set of the TV Tour Editin of Centennials here in the UK? ... any info will be very much appreciated Willie [ This message was edited by: TheWizard on 2006-04-14 18:58 ]

Willie that's a nice set of balls you're looking to get your hands on. I was thinking of investing some cash in some myself. Like Hitler, I've only got one ball at the minute. Its a rash covered thingy (err ..maybe I should vist the NHS website?!) No it's a TV ball, a Super Aramith Pro cup with the six spots, excellent for practising with and doing some spin magic and cost £20. I recommend anyone to get one. Regards  PS: As for Ball cases, I haven't got a clue (Maybe a goose egg box is a cheap option?) [ This message was edited by: expertfluke on 2006-04-18 18:13 ]

While it's not endorsed by Brunswick all balls do have the Lion seal of quality
