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.
What weighs more cue ball or colored balls?
Both are the same weight in most cases. For coin operated tables, most tables today use a magnetic cue ball which is slightly heavier than the numbered balls. It also can mean the it is a bit harder to control the cue ball. Older coin operated tables used a larger cue ball, not magnetic, which in addition to weighing more than the numbered balls, creates other cue ball control problems.
What size ball should you get if you are a novice?
It has to be assumed that you are referring to purchase of a cue ball. There are no choices for cue ball size for normal play. The larger cue ball is intended only for use on coin operated tables.
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).

How do you fix the pool table ball return?
Fixing a pool table ball return involves clearing obstructions (chalk, objects), checking/adjusting the magnetic cue ball separator (if coin-op), ensuring the pocket liners/rubber bumpers aren't worn out (replacing them with vinyl/felt), and sometimes DIY adjustments to levers/rods or installing simple baffles (like pool noodle pieces) for balls getting stuck in the rails, often requiring you to lift the slate or remove rails for full access. Clear Obstructions & Check Simple Fixes Look for foreign objects: Use a flashlight and a grabber tool to remove chalk, plastic markers, or other items dropped into pockets or the return path. Check the coin mechanism (if applicable): Remove the ball view door and check the ball catch tray and lever to see if it's jammed or stuck. Inspect for chalk buildup: Clear any chalk dust or buildup in the ball return channels. For Magnetic Cue Ball Separation Issues (Coin-Op) Verify the Cue Ball: Make sure you're using a magnetic cue ball; test it with a strong magnet. Check the Magnet: Open the ball return, locate the magnet holder, and test its strength with a metal object. Replace the magnet if weak. Adjust Magnet Position: Ensure the magnet holder is flush with the return path. If too far in, it can't catch the cue ball; too far out, and all balls might go to the trap. For Stuck Balls in Rails/Return Path Bumpers & Liners: Old rubber bumpers harden and cause balls to bounce out or get stuck. Replace them with new vinyl tubing or felt for smoother returns. DIY Baffles: String bungees across the top of the rail and drape fleece or felt strips over them to create soft baffles that catch stray balls. Adjust Rails/Skirts: On some tables, removing bolts to lift the skirts and adjust the rail angle can fix issues where balls ride up. toolgifs Reddit • Nov 1, 2025 Deeper Repairs (Requires Slate Removal) Access the Channels: For persistent blockages or significant wear, you might need to remove the pocket bolts, rails, and slate to fully access and repair the internal return channels, including the central wall.
