Absolute rubbish . . On that note the same could be said about being able to adjust to the spots during the warm up . .

Used it tonight, have no problem....we do play out of the ship in South Norwood, and our team did have a problem with the pace of the table - as did some of the goodfellas, to be fair.
In fact, might consider getting one for our table  ....read division 3 thread for reason.... |

 @ Fieldsy!!
The Power(grr), I don't see how use of a cue ball and it being voted in by the CDPL members would be in the League Consititution. I think you're a little confuzzled.
I do believe that the Secretary of the Goodfellas (no apostrophe) phoned the Secretary and Treasurer of the CDPL to ask if a cue ball with red spots on, which is the same size as a cue ball with no spots on it would be deemed as acceptable for use in League games. I also believe the answer to the aforementioned Secretary was something along the lines of 'if it's the same size, then I can't see a problem with you using it.'
As a Committee Member at that time, I can inform you that the Committee do not get informed of every phone call or enquiry Mark receives. That would be stupid.
I'm sure Deutch can clarify the details of the conversation if he sees this thread and has been mentioned, if people feel strongly enough about a cue ball, they can submit a proposal to an AGM or Half Yearly AGM. Or of course, I'm sure Mark can change his decision if he feels the majority of members don't want to play using the spotted white.
Other than that, I don't really understand your post. Are you trying to say that Mr Halsey has done something wrong by telling the Goodfellas they can use the ball? I was approached by Mark Stallard last July with this enquiry and informed him that I have received no official complaint in writing about the use of this ball and as far as I was concerned he should carry on until such time that I do. To date I have received no official complaint nor any proposal as such and so I defend my initial response. I did add at the time that I would seek verification from the EPA (via the SCPA) but I completely forgot. Now that this situation has raised its ugly head again, I have e-mailed the secretary of the SCPA for his comments and his response is as follows
"Hi Mark
To my knowledge there is nothing in any rules about the white ball.
They use the spotted one at the Worlds, and I have seen it in 9-ball comps on the TV.
In theory it is up to you.
My only advice would be to go with the ?majority? and make that the rule: e.g if most venues have them, use them, if most venues don?t then don?t.
What you don?t want to do is let venues/teams choose on the night?.that will cause loads of rows.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Warren Robinson ACIOB
Surrey Sec"
I have informed Mark Stallard of this response in an email and have given the same info as I told him last July.
CARRY ON UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT SOMEBODY MAKES AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT VIA A PROPOSAL & SECONDER THROUGH THE NORMAL CHANNELS AND NOT THROUGH THIS SITE.
END OF (at this moment in time that is) |

Spotted White - 97.2 grams.
Yes, it's FRACTIONALLY heavier. This has never been a secret and was raised when I first questioned its use on this website several seasons ago.
The fact remains, it's a match ball, used in official competitions, so it can't be outlawed just by people on here deciding they can rule it out for whatever reason suits them at the time. The weight difference is so negligible that 99% of pool players would never notice a difference of just over 1% in weight, if it wasn't for the spots.
First people say it's not allowed as 'it's a practice ball' which it isn't.
Next people say it's not allowed as the spots are off-putting.
Now apparently it's all about the weight. Make your minds up.
Have heard that the spotted cue ball also reacts diffrently. |

You heard it reacts differently??? Did your mystery source tell you HOW exactly? It's still a ball, it's extra 1.2g of weight are not all on one of its spots. It's just a match ball, not a joke 'googly' one.

Perhaps we should ask a top player for advice on this point? |

Morray would be the best person to answer this question I'd imagine . . I presume he's used it up in Blackpool a few times and isn't too sad a player these days |
