What balls for Valley barbox?

I want to purchase a new set of balls for our local VFW. What set of balls will work properly? They currently have free play and we bring our own spotted cue, but it rolls into the same channel as the object balls when pocketed and not the cue ball channel. I'd like to get what works (and a decent set of balls) in case they want to go back to charging. I'm not sure how old it is, probably 10+.

Anyone know?

Thanks

Any 15 ball set will work but get phenolic resin, not polyester balls. If you want quality then aramith is the brand to get. With aramith, as the set price goes up you're getting a better grade of resin, tighter tolerances and a superior finish. In order of quality the aramith sets start with crown followed by premier, premium and then super pro (best). Figure around a $20 difference from one set to the next so it may just depend on what you want to spend.

The aramith magnetic tournament cue ball (with aramith logo as pictured) is about as good as it gets for a valley table for sending it to the cue ball return hole. Shop around and you can find one for $20 or less.
