Cue balls?

[u12armresl]

I was looking for some different cue balls, especially the really big one that some people called "mud" etc.

Was also going to get a measles cue ball but was turned off by the shipping cost for 1 ball and $2 more for insurance.

Does anyone know of a good site where I can find a larger and heavier cueball (for bar table use)

Thanks in advance.


Best wishes

I dont know why the heck people call the 2 3/8" ball a mud ball...... the mudballs were the old composite (possibly bakelite even) balls before phenolic was the new material.
Anyhow, check out Muellers www.poolndarts.com
They should be able to help you out.

Rivercity,

Is this what you meant?

I thought over sized and the really big cueball were two different things.

The ebay ad indicates that this is a normal cue ball, 2 1/4". Is it heavier or something?

As a sidenote, my postal scale (not a scientific measurement) says the red circle ball is 66 grams and the Aramith measles ball is 68 grams.

As was said above, Muellers carries about anything you'd want. www.poolndarts.com

What type of table are you using?

 

[u12armresl]

Valley Bar Table.

None of the cueballs that I have seen are like the ones i'm thinking of.


Mountain Man used to have one of them and Mark Jarvis used to play Doug Smith with it. Don't believe it was a gold dot or black dot, but i'm stumped on what the ball is now.

Thank you for all of your replies.

If you do need the big ball (and the big ball is 2 3/8") you need

If its a newer valley table, you need a magnetic ball http://www.poolndarts.com/p-3606-Tournament-Magnetic-Belgian-Aramith-Cue-Ball/ will work nicely. It has a mesh inside the ball instead of a plug.

It's Not a Bad price on Ebay-- this is where I got my ball from

The measel bal will not return to the cue ball slot of a Valley Barbox. Unless the table is ancient get the magnetic ball. the one with the green Valley logo.

aramith makes a magnetic cue ball as well and they seem to have a bit better reputation than valley and can get them at poolndarts.com, they carry a normal metal insert and mesh insert, and are reasonably priced except for shipping. I bought a $7 ferrule from them, the saber-t, which at best weighs 1/4 oz and they charged me $6 for ground shipping. on the other hand pooldawg.com carries the aramith magnetic with normal instert rather than mesh and offers free ground shipping with $50 purchase.
