Just giving my (newbie) opinion (1 Viewer)

[Freeroll]

Hi all,

I recently received samples of some Paulson chips (casino used, but still pretty sharp corners), and also some China clay samples (royals, milanos and the bank).
The royal chips designs were stunning, but I found they were far too slick.
The milanos looked and felt and sounded most like a true clay chip, in my opinion, but I still found them to be a little too slick.
The bank chips, in my opinion, were perfect. They were not slick like the other two China clay sets. They shuffled great. They had a weight that was close to the Paulsons, but felt just a hair heavier (even though I saw John Hobby’s video where he weight them and they were the same weight as Paulsons). They were also dead flat. The only thing I could find that some people may dislike about them is that they looked ‘plasticy’. Other than the plasticy look, I actually preferred the feel of them slightly more than the Paulson chips.
Just thought I’d share my opinion.

Cheers,
Adam.

I don't really like the feel of ceramics, but admit I've never handled sunfly poly clays. The Bank chips have always turned my head though. Excellent design execution, and might be best ceramics I've seen on here.

The Sunflys are great, but I believe the OP is referring to The Bank board game set from Apache.

Yes, I was referring to the chips from Apache Poker Chips.

sunfly poly clays.

The feel really light and cheap imo. The oversized Sunflys are marginally better than the 39 mm, but still meh imo

Well...you know what they say about opinions and assholes. Everybody has one and everyone else's stinks.

If you like china clays better than Paulsons, then you can save a lot of momey

While this opinion may be unpopular, you sir just saved yourself thousands. You beat the game. Well done.

Understatement of the decade.
if you stick with the hobby and aren’t just trying to fill a gap, your tastes will ineveitably change. Just go with your heart. But I’d say this: GeT SAMpleS!

Bill, I suspect that you are actually referring to Sun-Fly's polyinno ceramic hybrids, not Sun-Fly's polyclay chips -- which are an entirely different animal than either hybrids or standard ceramics. They have debossed mold markings (similar to those on clay chips) but are printed full-face (no recess or label). Different sound and feel, and close to standard 10g weight for 39mm chips (and not available in 43mm).
