I had one years ago, but I didn't really like the feel of it to be honest.

I've got one, I like the feel of it better than the sparco one that was on before, it's quite bulky though.

I've got one, I think they are just about the right size and look a lot better than any nasty aftermarket ones from Halfrauds

That's were it ended up. I could put some stuff in the thread hole or use a lock nut to straighten it out, but I don't tend to notice it when I'm driving along.

If anything american pool balls are bigger than snooker balls, but then again that's probably just because of the table, they're about the same size ;D
