I live in Yorkshire and have just purchased a bar billiard table, and I need to replace the balls I got with the table. I notices there were at least three different Aramith balls out there (standard, super and deluxe) and I wondered which I should go for, accessories aren't readily available here in Yorkshire so I'll probably have to order online.

Hi David and welcome to the forum I'm sure for home use, any of them would be suitable as long as they are the right size ;D (1 7/8th inch BTW) but some of the cheaper ones do discolour quite quickly. The super Aramith balls are only a fiver more expensive than the standard ones so you may as well go for those but you will notice very little difference in the early days... Spares are very difficult to obtain anywhere these days so mail order is the only option for most but beware of ebay as you can often find things cheaper elsewhere. We look forward to the reformation of the Yorks league in a few years then... ;D ;) cheers Tony |

Hi Tony, first of all cheers for the reply, I played my first Bar Billiards shot two weeks ago after I'd driven all the way down to Hardley, Norfolk from Holmfirth, Nr. Huddersfield to collect a Jelkes table I got on eBay. I'm really pleased with my acquisition, that is when my 2 boys let me have a go. I'm a total novice and have nothing to compare the table to as to whether I got a good deal, I'm intrigued about the game, it's history and want to know more, and it's that what led me to this site.
Thanks again, David.
