8-Ball Shopping

Postby magic_evmeister » Apr 19th, '06, 14:55



I need somewhere to get a few replacement pool balls. I've seen plenty of places that sell full sets of pool balls but I only want 2 or 3 Black 8-Balls for some magic related stuff. All the sites I've seen are US based, I want somewhere UK based. Can anyone help?

Ring Border Automatics in Shrewsbury...

I used to work next door to them, and they used to throw things like that away!

Tell them Chris who used to work at PrimaPrint suggested it...

Also, ask at your local pub/s. Most pool tables are rented, when balls are worn, chipped etc they get exchanged by the machine rental company, get a couple of numbers for such rental companies and give them a ring. Now if you manage to get some and they look a little tired, put them in a dishwasher, when they come out they will be dull looking, now just polish them up with some decent polish ie duraglit, they will then come up nice & shiny. You usually also find when a set is worn out, the blacks tend not to be as bad since they don't usually get as much hammer as the colours & white do.

Failing that, try here, it's near me and they do stock some spares :-
