In the game of pool are the 1-7 balls(solids) smaller than the 9-14 balls(stripes)? Even by a little bit?

  1. NO they're not, nor are they any heavier.  A good set of arimith's each ball is weighed and put in a set of calipers to make sure the entire set is identical.


  2. no, if they are regulation balls they should be the exact same size. best answer plz?

  3. Yes, the extra paint stripe on a striped ball makes it .000000001% bigger than a solid ball.

  4. Solids and stripes are exactly the same size.

    We had a heated debate about another subject along the same lines and finally contacted the manufacturer to settle the matter. Do you know what the difference between a red dot cue ball and a blue dot cue ball is? "The only difference between the two is the color of the dot".

  5. no, only the number is smaller ("small ones")

    the cue ball is the only one that is different, and that only slightly so it will return on the right track.

  6. NO According to BCA/WPA equipment specifications, the weight may be from 5.5 to 6 oz. (156 to 170 g) with a diameter of 2.25 in. (5.715 cm), plus or minus 0.005 in. (0.127 mm) but in each set the balls are of the same size and weight. these measurements are for US pool.
