About Billiard Balls

Billiard balls are one of the few pieces of equipment you buy once for many years – as long as you pick phenolic ones. Pool ball sets are 15 numbered balls plus a cue ball in 57.2 mm: from the club-grade Aramith Premier, through Tournament TV Pro in broadcast colours, to Super Pro and Duramith with the longest lifespan. Snooker balls are 15 reds and 6 colours in 52.5 mm (Aramith Tournament Champion, 1G), and carom balls come in sets of three at 61.5 mm.

A separate section holds training balls with printed aim points and spin lines, such as the Chris Henry set. Almost every listing is Aramith – the Belgian maker whose balls are the standard at WPA and WST events. Buy through an auction, "Buy Now" or by contacting the seller, with no commission. Which balls for home and which for a club – see the FAQ below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which billiard balls should I buy?
The global standard is Aramith (Belgian phenolic-resin balls). Models: Aramith Premier (entry, ~$100–150 pool set), Aramith Tournament TV Pro (yellow stripes for TV, $180–230), Aramith Super Aramith Pro (tournament, $230–330), Duramith (harder resin, $400+). For snooker: Aramith 1G or Super Crystalate.
Pool balls vs snooker balls — what is the difference?
Pool balls: 15 numbered (1–15) + cue ball, 2 1/4" (57.2 mm) diameter, 170 g each. Snooker balls: 15 reds + 6 colours (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black) + cue, 2 1/16" (52.5 mm), 142 g. Carom: 3 balls (2 white + red), 61.5 mm. Pool balls do NOT work on a snooker table and vice versa.
How much does an Aramith ball set cost?
Aramith Premier (basic pool): $100–150. Aramith Tournament TV Pro: $180–230. Aramith Super Pro (full tournament): $230–380. Duramith (pro tour, harder shell): $380–650. Snooker Aramith 1G: $300–450 (22-ball set). Carom Aramith: $130–200 for 3 balls.
How to care for billiard balls?
Phenolic balls (Aramith, Duramith) are very durable but need cleaning — chalk and hand oils stick and cause skidding on cloth. Clean with Aramith Ball Cleaner or Ball Restorer (soft cloth, no abrasives). Frequency: tournament every 100–200 games, home every 3–6 months. Cue ball especially — it collects chalk fastest.
