Balls go out of round as a result of normal play, and therefore a new set of cheaply made $30 balls is almost certainly superior for play than set that has had a lot of use.

Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.
