Beware of Imitation Aramith Balls
While most other polymer and polyester balls try to imitate the look and/or packaging of the Aramith product line, none offer the quality of phenolic resin. Beautiful in the box, most look quite different only a few hours later.
Beware of imitations and check for the Aramith logo and/or the Aramith name on the box to be sure you've got a genuine Aramith phenolic ball set.

The American Poolplayers Association (APA), the world's largest pool league, has appointed Aramith as the exclusive official ball for all its tournaments.
