Are all cue balls the same?
No. In addition to slight difference between models and /manufacturers, there are generally 3 type of cue balls. The normal regulation play ball that is not intended for use on a coin operated table is most common and is what should be used to learn and practice cue ball control. Cue balls made for use in coin operated machines need a way to be released so they are not captured like the numbered balls - so, these cue balls are either larger (no longer common) or have a metallic center (slightly heavier than a standard cue ball).

Billiards is a game that has been royal in nature and dates back to the 15th century. In order to play Billiards the first thing you need is a cushioned table which should have NO pockets, and carefully spaced diamond markers along the rails where the balls should be shot. To shoot the cue ball, a cue stick is necessary and additionally you would also need a cue chalk to sharpen the cue stick point in order to shoot the ball effectively.

What is inside of a cue ball?
There are two types of cue balls - those made for regular play on a conventional pool or billiards table and those made for use on a coin operated table. The center of the cue ball is of the same material as the surface unless it is a cue ball specifically intended for use on coin operated tables. The coin table cue balls today are either larger but of the same materials, or are magnetic. The majority of coin table cue balls today have a magnet inside that prevents it from being "trapped" the way the numbered balls are when they are pocketed, so that it returns to the player.
