Steel is about five times as dense as cast phenolic pool balls. That would make the steel ball about twice as heavy as the typical cue stick so the cue should bounce back off the ball.My first thoughts about this set involved a fool and his money. Then I had second thoughts. About seventy-five dollars for a solid steel two and a quarter inch ball. It would be great fun to have the other player hit this ball, especially a full power shot like a break shot. A rough guess this ball would weigh about a dozen times as much as the weight of a normal cue ball! Could be dangerous if a shaft shattered so probably best to stay well back and pick someone you don't like a whole lot to try this switch on.

Maybe you could get some depleted uranium instead.:grin-devilish: It's over twice the density of steel.
