Essential add-ons for every player and table owner.

About Billiard Accessories

Accessories are the most frequently bought category on BidBil: the small things that decide how comfortable the game feels and how long a cue lasts. The biggest section is cases – hard 2×4, 3×5 and 4×6 cases from Predator (Urbain, Roadline), Mezz and Meucci, soft tubes and backpacks for break and jump cues. Next comes chalk: classic Master, Kamui SS and 0.98, Taom Pyro and Predator 1080, along with chalkers and magnetic holders. Gloves and apparel covers Predator, Mezz and Kamui gloves for left or right hand, plus club and tournament shirts.

For the table you will want racks and templates – Magic Rack, 9-ball and 10-ball templates, wooden and plastic triangles – and pocket reducers for precision practice. The training section has training balls with printed aim points, cue-ball position templates and practice cues. Kamui, Zan, Elk Master and Le Pro tips and tip replacement are under cue service, and Simonis and Strachan cloth under cloth in the tables section.

Most listings are new items from sellers and shops, but used premium cases turn up at half price. Every listing shows condition, location and photos, and you buy through an auction, "Buy Now" or by contacting the seller, with no commission. Which chalk to pick and whether a glove is worth it – see the FAQ below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which billiard chalk is best?
Master Chalk (green) has been the standard for 100 years — cheap and reliable. Kamui is premium (SS, 0.98, 1.21) — better tip-to-ball grip, popular with pros. Tweeten Chalk (BlueDiamond, Silver Cup, Predator 1080) offer similar feel. Price: Master $1–2, Kamui SS $15–25. Consistency > brand — pick what suits your stroke.
What is a cue tip and which one to choose?
The tip (leather) at the cue end contacts the ball. Hardness: soft (more spin, wears faster — Kamui Black), medium (universal — Kamui Clear, Le Pro), hard (harder, faster break — Elk Master H, Kamui Original hard). Diameter: 11.75 mm (snooker), 12–13 mm (pool). Replace every 6–18 months with regular play — service is $15–40 depending on the tip.
What is the difference between a bridge and a case?
A bridge is a long stick with an X, Y or V head to rest the main cue on when the ball is too far/high. Standards: straight bridge (spider for snooker, standard for pool). Cases differ by material (leather vs vinyl vs nylon) and compartments (2×5, 3×6, 4×8 = butts × shafts). Hard case protects better in travel, soft case is lighter for the club.
