Aramith is the World’s leading billiard ball manufacturer. This Belgian brand can provide balls for every single billiard discipline played around the world. This is why Aramith is the official ball supplier to virtually all major amateur and professional tournaments around the world.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the creation of snooker, we interviewed Jason Ferguson, Director of the World Snooker Tour and Chairman at the WPBSA, the world governing body for snooker and billiards.
This third of 6 episodes tackles how Aramith balls provide unrivalled characteristics.
Perfect characteristics
“Snooker balls have to be a perfect sphere. The other thing that has to be perfect is the weight difference between the balls themselves. Whether that be the cue ball striking the red ball, the weight of those two balls has to be the same. Aramith has been really the market leader in perfecting that to the highest level.”
100% high-density phenolic resin
“The consistency has been one of the things that’s really advanced with snooker balls. Every set is just perfect these days. There are various resins been tried over the years. One of the key things is to ensure that resin is such a high density that it removes any air pockets or anything else that may be in there. Aramith through their Phenolic resin is the one manufacturer that has taken this to the next level.”
