Balls & Table Kit

This category covers the consumables and maintenance kit you need to keep your table playable: replacement ball sets for snooker and pool, and brushes and cleaning tools for felt and rails.

Choosing balls and table kit

• Ball size and weight. Snooker balls are typically 2 inches; pool balls come in 2.25 inch versions. Check the product listing to confirm the diameter and weight, as these affect play and table compatibility.
• Ball material. Budget-imported ball sets are usually made from phenolic resin or similar synthetic materials. They won't feel or perform like tournament-grade balls, but they're fine for casual play and practice.
• Brush bristles. Natural bristles (horsehair) are gentler on felt and last longer than synthetic alternatives, but cost more. Synthetic brushes are cheaper and adequate for routine maintenance.
• Maintenance bundles. Many kits bundle a main brush with a rail brush, handheld cleaner or corner tool. Check what's included before buying; you may not need every item.

Budget ball sets and cleaning tools do the job. Imported balls may be slightly uneven or have minor cosmetic marks; felt cleaners work best on routine dust and chalk rather than stubborn stains. Replace balls and brushes as felt wear or bristles fray.
