Materials used to create snooker balls
Snooker balls can be made from many different materials. They were originally made from wood which was inexpensive and readily available all over the world. However, this material was not very long-lasting and it easily changed its shape. There were many other materials that could be used in place of wood. In the 19th century, the ball was made from ivory. The ivory balls cost a lot and could only four times be used per elephant.
Over the centuries, the materials used for making snooker pool balls have changed. Wood was a cheap material to work with, which is why it was the first material used. However, as time went by, Europeans started to develop a taste for other materials and began experimenting with these. In the seventeenth century elephant tusks were used for making pool balls.

The cloth used for the playing surface can be either nylon or wool. These materials are more expensive than others, but can last for years. It is important to consider the size of the table as well as the materials it was made from when selecting the best table for your home.

The WEPF table has balls that measure two to one-fourth of an inch (51-54mm) while the WPA standard table has smaller balls.
