A pool table can be a beautiful piece to add to your home, but if you want to make the most of your investment, you need some billiard balls to go with it.
Billiard Factory has provided customers with superior-quality billiard ball sets since 1975. We know what makes for a premium billiard experience, and we stock only the best brands at the best prices. If you're looking for billiard balls for your pool table, here is what you need to know.
Many people don't know what exactly gives billiard balls that unmistakable feel. Over the centuries, billiard balls have been made from a wide range of materials, including wood, ivory, celluloid, a proprietary plastic material known as Bakelite, and others.
However, for the past one hundred years, billiard pool balls have been made from none of these materials. Instead, they're now made from either phenolic or polyester resin.
These materials are incredibly durable, and they're capable of being formed into highly precise products that meet exacting standards. Phenolic resin in particular offers a remarkably smooth, shiny, long-lasting billiard ball with a one-of-a-kind surface that makes a successful break feel like heaven.
While they typically use the same materials as one another to create their billiard ball sets, not all billiard ball brands are created equal.
There are many great billiard ball brands out there, but if you're looking for the best of the best, you can never go wrong with Brunswick Billiards or Aramith. These two brands offer some of the highest-quality ball sets on the market. While premium brands can come with more of an investment up front, they are built to last.
If you want to optimize your pool table experience, choosing a top-quality set of billiard balls is a great place to start. Two of the most important factors to consider when you're searching for your perfect set are roundness and material.
To your eye, virtually every set of billiard balls is going to look perfectly round. However, even the slightest discrepancies can make a significant difference in the way the balls play. Make sure the set you purchase has been tested multiple times to ensure a perfect round shape with no defects.
When it comes to billiard balls, the material you choose can be crucial. The best choice is typically phenolic resin — especially pure phenolic resin. While these balls will cost you more money, this initial investment can ultimately save you money in the long run, as billiard balls made from this material will last for many, many years.
