quote [ Len Smith is quite possibly the most dominant sportsperson on the planet. The Crawley resident is crafting perfect porcelain spheres from discarded toilet bowls, as he prepares to defend his world title at the 1973 British and World Marbles Championship on the hallowed concrete circle at Tinsley Green. ]
Quietly manipulating his marbles

So I was wondering if using non-glass marbles was legit or not, and it looks like it depends on the individual competition. Some allow any material as long as it's not metal. Others allow glass only. Makes me wonder if this guy would be still as good if forced to play with glass instead of porcelain.

The competition in this video specifically allows for ceramic marbles. Makes me wonder if this guy would be still as good if forced to play with glass instead of porcelain.
