Hi, everyone. A couple of months ago, I asked for feedback on my first crack at a custom tournament set and got some very helpful suggestions. Based on that feedback, I scrapped the set and started over. Below is my second effort (I still need to get help on a label, so I’ve just omitted that for now). As many of you suggested, I went back and looked at a lot of the sets on here (and looked around a bit on Chip Guide as well). I’ve realized that I usually like relatively brighter colors and relatively thin edge spot patterns that allow the main chip color to shine. My favorite set that I’ve seen so far is the Barrel House. I also like the Club D and Horseshoe Pesta 1895.
I’d eagerly welcome any thoughts you have on the set (in case it isn’t clear without labels, these are T25/T100/T500/T1000/T5000/T25000/Bounty). I found that it was challenging to create a set that featured bright colors, avoided the split-spot issues associated with mixing DG and non-DG colors, and still felt cohesive.
I also have a couple of specific questions:

I also have a couple of specific questions:
- I have seen people mention that they were able to tweak their designs for some period of time after placing the order. What is the best way for me to understand what can/cannot be tweaked after ordering (and for how long it can be tweaked)? My home game is starting to take off, and I’d really love to get an order in and hopefully receive a set early-ish next year, so I’d like to start understanding the mechanics of the order process as I get feedback on the design.
- I’ve also seen the suggestion to get shuffle stacks of each mold that I am considering to get a better idea of how they look/feel/sound. Where should I look to get shuffle stacks? I think I’ve narrowed my options down to Circle Square, A-mold, LCrown, and Horsehead. (I also like the Elephant & Crown and Scroll Mold, but I understand that people typically like the look/feel/sound of the molds with two concentric rings better).
