Replacing ball sets

[Neil]

How often do most room owners on here replace the balls? What's a reasonable life expectancy for them with commercial use?

 

[Crash]

I normally replace individual balls but I've found the stripes chips more often than the solids. Recently it just became more cost effective to replace with a new set than replace individual balls for 14 tables.

But guessing on wear I've seen, I'd guess I'll replace again in 5 to 7 years.

replacement schedule on "what" type of balls they are AND how much use (abuse) they get....also you will have to replace "cue balls" on somewhat of a regular basis...
