Best billiard balls according to redditors

You can actually get them for about 1/33 the price online.

It's a bottle for Bottle Pool. Fun game!

edit: Here... wanna buy one?

Congrats on getting buy in from the other half. I'd be interested to know what you had to give up in the bargain :-)

If you're talking about the $800 set that the Brunswick site is offering, I'd think twice - you can definitely do better shopping around.

Seyberts have a similar Aramith set for $300. It's not got the premium ball set though, instead opting for Aramith's mid-range offering. Seyberts will also give 5% discount to APA members (or non-members I suppose) with the code APARULES.

You can also build your own package, tailored to what you want and omitting what you already have and save a fair bit. Here I will admit I to living vicariously through you in making up a list of what I would get. Again, prices from Seyberts.

• $295.37 - Aramith Tournament Pool Ball Set (Top of the line although I might be tempted to go for the $200 Cyclop set with the strange colors). You could also get the Brunswick Centennial ball set on Amazon for $369.
  
  
• $71.98 - 2 x Dufferin House Cues.
  
  
• $23.19 - Players House Cue (to use as a bridge - I couldn't find a decent looking plain bridge stick from Seyberts but others do have them).
  
  
• $2.97 - Moose Head Bridge Head.
  
  
• $16.00 - Magic Ball Rack combo pack.
  
  
• $21.95 - 144 pieces of Master Chalk (may as well stock up).
  
  
• $89.95 - Simonis X-1 Cloth Cleaner
  
  Total: $521.21
  
  Now excuse me while I go and pay $10+ an hour table time and continue to dream...

Are you positive it is smaller in size? I believe most coin op tables these days use a magnet in the cue ball to pull it out into the other ball drop. If that's the case, you can purchase a high quality cue ball with a magnet and have no problems at all.

& I don't think this is bad etiquette. In fact, I'd be stoked to play against another bar shooter who understands the difference. On that note, you average bar goer may think you're "hardcore" or something seeing you with your own cue ball. I always am just super open, honest, and smiley when I am playing with my own equipment. Most people are cool with it.

The aramiths actually have a thicker font. Also, the box is wrong.

Your set looks more lile these.

They also make snooker balls in pool sizes

Creatine Monohydrate Powder 1kg @ $10.87 ... $0.054 per 5g dose

Instantized BCAA Powder 500g @ $25.18 ... $0.252 per 5g dose

Citrulline Malate ... 500g @ $23.05 ... $0.092 per 2.5g dose

L-Carnitine ... 250g @ $13.54 ... $0.081 per 1.5g dose

Caffeine ... dirt cheap

Mini Billiard Balls ... $15.50 ... put 4 of these in a large container ( I use an old bb.com casein tub ) and shake, rattle, roll to mix. Helps to break up any clumps, and won't chip / leave particles in your powder.

I use the above products. Creatine I put in my post workout shake, the rest I use in my pre-workout, flavored with sugar-free drink packets from Walmart + 1/2 serving of gatorade powder.

( if you don't have a small 0.01 gram scale, get one, they are cheap and extremely useful, especially when dosing caffeine ... amazon, ebay, powdercity, etc )

English pool balls are reds and yellows with an 8 ball. Much smaller traditionally, but you can get them in American size. Just search up "red and yellow pool balls" on Amazon and take your pick, they've got various brands from cheap economy to Aramith Premiers - just make sure you order 2 1/4 inch size.

I did have a look myself and the Aramiths seem to be out of stock in 2 1/4, but I found these, dunno how good they are but at nearly $40 they're probably good for general use.

I really want the cue ball from this set

https://www.amazon.com/Sterling-Gaming-Confetti-Pool-Billiard/dp/B01J81RJZA/ref=sr_1_101?s=leisure-sports-games&srs=3043662011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493309229&sr=1-101

But I don't want to buy a full set of billiard balls just for the one cue ball. Anyone know where I can find something similar? I want something translucent but a bit cloudy so it dims the LED.

1. Get an old whey powder tub.
   
   
2. Put your powders in it. Measure them using (dose) x (# of servings) = ingredient total.
   
   
3. Put 2 or 3 of these mini billiard balls in the tub with the powder.
   
   
4. Make sure the lid is sealed well. Use tape if required.
   
   
5. Shake, rattle, and roll for a few minutes, or however long it takes to mix your powders well. It doesn't take very long.
   
   
6. ????
   
   
7. Profit
   
   When it's time to take your preworkout, use a digital scale w/ a tare function, scoop out 1 serving ( dose of each ingredient added together = 1 serving ).
   
   Works really well. Billiard balls are hard, and designed to be smashed into each other, won't contaminate your product.
   
   My preworkout has something like 20 ingredients in it, and this method works fine.
   

Pea Shake houses are all over the east coast and mid west. Buy your own pea shake bottle off Amazon for $5 and start a crime wave.

The Aramith Super Pro Cup TV Cue Ball is a very good cue ball. If you don't like the "measles", you can get the non-TV version. There are also cue ball carrying cases that clip onto your cue case.

Before I started buying individual balls though, I'd weigh your cue ball and a few object balls to make sure the cue ball is actually heavier.

I was unable to find the ball you are looking for, but either of these would be a lot better than the cue ball that is in the table - if I had to choose between these, I would take the second one.

The cheap ones look like the type where the color comes off of the stripes because they are screen printed on. Am I thinking of the same balls?

Edit:

For middle of the road balls I'd go with premium or premiers:

you know they come in boxes of 16 right?
