  1. It is a different size and weight than the other balls. In seedy pool halls it is known as the toy ball.


  2. Some tables the cue ball is slightly larger than the other 15 balls, causing it to be caught and ejected.   Other tables where the cue ball is the same size as the other 15 balls a magnet in the table pulls the cueball away from the rail that the balls roll down and ejects it.   Hope that helps

  3. It's a different size, and follows a track which none of the other balls can follow.

  4. it is different to the rest in such a manner that it is bigger .

  5. The cue ball is a little bigger and thus it gets routed differently in the table.

  6. the cue is a different size and weight

  7. the cue ball is slightly smaller, so it bypasses the lock-up

  8. The white one is a little bit bigger and doesn't fall into the thing

  9. The cue ball is slightly larger then the other balls. When the balls are rolling around inside the table they are all sent down this one section of track that has a small metal bar over the top that will let the small balls all pass under on their way to the locking area, but the larger cue ball hits this bar and is deflected onto another track which delivers it to the other end of the table.

  10. The white ball is smaller than the others.

  11. the white one is smaller and goes down a different hole

  12. The cue ball is smaller (in the UK) so it goes thru while the other ones dont.

  13. It's a different size and weight than the rest of the balls.

  14. If you look at the cue ball compared to any other ball, the cue ball is slightly larger.  This way, when the ball goes down a pocket and returns to the collection rack, it is on a different rail and goes to the head of the table.

  15. wheight.

  16. they are a differant size, cue ball slightly bigger, takes a differant path in the table
