Included with every Traditional LITE

Your Playing Set

Aramith Snooker Balls

Aramith set · 2″

A set of Aramith snooker balls in the 2-inch size matched to your table — reds, six colours and a cue ball.

Why we use them — Aramith’s cast phenolic resin balls are supplied for their consistent roll, true response and long playing life.

Snooker is played with reds, six colours and a cue ball; ball size is matched to the size of your table.

  • Two Snooker Cues — for balance and reach across the bed — a long butt and half butt on full-size tables.
  • Cross Rest & Spider Rest — brass-headed rests for the shots you can’t reach comfortably.
  • Triangle — for fast, tight racking of the reds.
  • Mahogany Scoreboard — a traditional 4-player scoreboard, matched to your table.
  • Table Brush (12″) — for regular cloth care — always brushed with the nap.
  • Fitted Cover & Chalk — to keep dust and light off 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.
