Material: phenolic resin vs polyester
Quality balls are made of phenolic resin — denser and more durable, it keeps its shape and shine for years and resists scratches. Cheaper options use polyester/acrylic — affordable but they wear faster. The industry standard is Belgian Aramith.
Aramith — the standard
The Belgian brand Aramith is the world benchmark for professional balls (Aramith Premier, Tournament, Super Pro). Full phenolic resin gives consistent weight, true balance and a long lifespan — suitable for both clubs and home tables.
How to choose
- Home pool: a 57.2mm phenolic-resin set — best price/quality balance.
- Russian billiards: a 68mm set — larger, heavier balls demanding more precision.
- Snooker: a full 22-ball 52.5mm set.
- Club / heavy use: Aramith Premier or Tournament.
Care
Clean the balls regularly with a soft cloth; for heavy play use a dedicated cleaner/restorer to keep the shine and roll. Store away from sunlight and heat so they don't lose colour or shape.
