Question

In pool, is the Q ball supposed to be bigger, or the same size?

Answer 1

For a regulation set of pool balls, both the cue ball and the object balls are 2 1/4" diameter.  If there is any deviation from this, it is due to coin-op tables and depends on what part of the world that you are in.  In some European countries, the cue ball is smaller.  In America, the cue ball tends to be the same size, but with an iron plug inside or with iron filings mixed into the phenolic resin (the mud ball) to catch a magnet.  This would be commonly found on Valley tables.  On Dynamo tables, the cue ball is actually larger.  But for professional play, they are equal size and equal weight.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
