Billiard Congress of America Rolls Out a New Cue Ball!

Colorado Springs, CO - The Billiard Congress of America (BCA) National 8-Ball Championships (May 9-17, 2003 in Las Vegas, NV) will be the first major event to use the new Aramith cue ball designed for Valley tables.

The new cue balls look and weigh the same as the old cue balls (6 ounces - same as the Aramith object balls being used). However, the new cue balls are not "plugged" with a metallic center. They are layered with metallic flakes in the core so that the balls can still be picked up by the interior table magnet, yet roll consistently true throughout the course of a shot.

Top players have tested these balls and are very pleased with the results. The new technology from Aramith will allow significant improvement o­n the tables already in the marketplace, without significantly changing the tables themselves.
