Novelty Billiard Balls – Balls That Stand Out From The Pack

Friday, September 19th, 2008

You don’t have to use the regular solid and striped billiard balls to play the game.  If you want to stand out and be noticed, you can get novelty billiard balls.  These balls are usually one of a kind.  People think of them as a collection, just like they do rare coins.

There are different types of these balls available to purchase.  You don’t have to use them if you don’t want to.  They can just be displayed as decoration.  You can select some designs that will be eye-catching to others.

Some of the most popular novelty billiard balls come in the form of logo sets.  Different colleges and universities have stamped their name on these prized balls.  You can have some that are from the top-notch educational institutions in the country.

In addition to the schools, you also have professional sports teams available.  You can get balls with logos from the NBA, NHL. MLB and NFL.  It doesn’t matter who your favorite team is, the logo can be made available on billiard balls.  If you have more than one team that you like you can get that team also.

There are more novelty balls that you can choose from that include:

• Military sets
• Harley Davidson sets
• Casino sets
• Harlequin Family sets
• Breast Cancer sets
• Neon sets
• Poker ball sets (King, Ace, Queen and Jack without the numbers)
• Walt Disney

These sets can be made to your specifications.  The cost of these can range from approximately $25 to the low hundreds.  It depends on how popular the novelty theme is.

The colors of the balls are usually the same.  You may find something slightly different depending on the company that manufactures them.  You can also find them in different patterns, such as color swirls or marbleized designs.  These can break up the monotony of the regular solid and striped colors.

If you’re not looking to get a whole set, you can just get a cue ball or a crazy eight ball.  You can also request logos on these types of balls as well.  They don’t have to be plain looking.  A jazzed up ball can do wonders.  You will still be able to have what you want and don’t have to dish out a lot of funds for a set.

If any of the above suggestions don’t suit you, you can always get Professional Style Billiard Balls.  Some of the companies have different designs for each ball.  They want to stand out against their competitions.

You may want to check several companies before you make a decision on what you like.  Some of the more requested styles include:  Pro Series, Premier Belgian Aramith, Minnesota Fats and others.

So, if you’re looking for something that’s different and will get people talking, novelty billiard balls will do it for you.
