Your Playing Set

Aramith American Pool Balls

16-ball set · 21⁄4″ (57mm)

A full 2¼-inch set of Aramith balls — numbered 1–15 and a cue ball.

Why we use them — Riley American tables pair K55 championship rubber with full-size 2¼-inch Aramith balls for the truest possible response.

American pool is played with a 16-ball set of 2¼-inch balls — seven solids, seven stripes, the 8-ball and the cue ball.

  • Two American Pool Cues — selected for balance and control on a slate bed.
  • Triangle — for tight, accurate racking.
  • Table Brush — for regular cloth care without disturbing the surface.
  • Fitted Cover & Chalk — to protect the cloth between sessions.

Supplied accessories are confirmed with your made-to-order specification; the scoreboard and finish are matched to your table.

Will it fit your space?

A full-size table needs room for the cue as much as the table itself. Choose a size in the panel and the plan updates with the space you'll need on every side.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What room size do I need?

For a 9ft table we recommend a minimum room of 5.5m × 4.3m to allow full cue movement on every side. Select a size in the panel to see its exact requirement.

Can I change the cloth colour?

Yes. Tournament green is standard, with blue, burgundy and slate grey available. Contact us for bespoke cloth options.

Is installation included?

Installation isn't included in the table price — it's an optional service, quoted on your postcode, access and table size. Our own team then levels, cloths and hands the table over ready to play.

How long does delivery take?

Approximately 6–8 weeks from order, as each table is made to your specification. We'll arrange a convenient date with you.
