Snooker balls, like the balls for all cue sports, are typically made of phenolic resin, and are smaller than pool balls. Regulation snooker balls (which are specified in metric units) are nominally 52.5 mm (approximately 2 1⁄15 inches) in diameter, though many sets are actually manufactured at 52.4 mm (about  2 1⁄16 in.) No weight for the balls is specified in the rules, only that the weight of any two balls should not differ by more than 0.5g. Some recreational sets (which are usually not measured metrically) are 2 1⁄8 in. (about 54 mm) up to as large as pool balls, at 2 1⁄4 in. (about 57.2 mm); larger ball size requires wider pocket openings. Miniature sets also exist, for half-size home tables. There are fifteen red balls, six "colour" balls (yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, and black), and one white cue ball. Usually none of the balls are numbered, though the six colour balls often are in the US, where they are easily mistaken at first glance for pool balls (the design is similar, but the numbering does not match pool's scheme). The set of eight colours used for snooker balls (including white) are thought to be derived from the game of croquet. Snooker was invented in 1884 by British Army officers stationed in India. Croquet reached its peak popularity at the same time, particularly amongst people in the same social context. The eight coloured balls of croquet use the same identical set of eight colours. There are many other similarities between croquet and snooker, which when taken together, suggest that the derivation of the latter owes much to the existence of the former.

1G Tournament Champion balls as used in all world ranking event TV Tournaments. These are the same type of snooker balls you see used on all major events on TV today. For over 40 years Aramith have supplied sets of Tournament Champion balls to the World Snooker Professional Players Association. Whilst they may appear to be standard Tournament Champion snooker sets they are in fact drastically different having only a one gram maximum weight difference between balls in a set rather than the 3 gram tolerance within a standard set of Tournament Champion balls. This reduction in tolerance allows the W.S.A. professional players to reach the highest scores during W.S.A. Tournaments.
