This Aramith ball set can be considered the best overall. With its classic "numbers in the stripe" look and tight cosmetic criteria, it is the perfect combination of top quality at an affordable price. The Aramith balls are the only ones in the world made of pure phenolic resin, making them last up to 5 times longer than other balls made from polyester or other polymers. Thanks to their exceptional playing characteristics, Aramith balls are used in virtually all tournaments worldwide. The extra hard vitrified phenolic surface of the Aramith balls drastically reduces wear and burn spots on both balls and cloth, guaranteeing the lowest ownership cost over time.
