Aramith Tournament Black pool cue ball 2 1/4" Six-Dot — Super Aramith PRO phenolic, durable for players & clubs

The Aramith Tournament Black 2 1/4" cue ball is a professional-grade phenolic resin cue ball with six black dots designed to reveal spin and deliver long-lasting, tournament-level performance.

Made in Belgium by Saluc, this Aramith cue ball uses Super Aramith PRO resin and Duramith technology to meet the strictest standards for sphericity, weight and durability. The six-dot design—introduced by Aramith in the 1980s—helps players and coaches observe and analyze cue spin visually, while the vitrified, through-hardened surface resists scratches and wear that degrade playability. Packaged in a clear blister, the 2 1/4" (57.2 mm) ball weighs 6 oz and is calibrated for consistent rebound and true roll.

How does the six-dot pattern help my game?

The six black dots make spin, miscue angles and unintended roll visible at a glance. By watching how the dots rotate, you can diagnose follow, draw, sidespin and how squarely you strike the cue ball. That feedback speeds learning and fine-tunes shot consistency.

• Visualizes intentional and unintentional spin for practice.
• Helps coaches and players track cue contact and cue-tip position.
• Makes small rotational differences easier to detect during drills.

Why is phenolic resin with Duramith technology better than standard cue balls?

Phenolic resin, especially the Super Aramith PRO formula, creates a vitrified, homogenous ball that tolerates repeated impacts and resists flat spots and deformation. Duramith manufacturing ensures uniform density for accurate roll and predictable rebound—qualities tournament and heavy-use environments demand.

• Through-hardened surface reduces chipping and scuffs.
• Calibrated weight and precise sphericity for consistent play.
• Longevity lowers annual replacement cost compared to cheaper sets.

How durable is this cue ball for home and club play?

Aramith phenolic balls are engineered for extended lifespans; with normal care they far outlast conventional materials. The closed, vitrified surface resists marking and abrasion at the friction temperatures encountered in play, making it a cost-effective choice for clubs and serious home players.

• Withstands many more impacts than standard resin or polyester balls.
• Less cloth friction marking preserves table felt longer.
• Recommended cleaning with Aramith ball cleaner prolongs life.

Will this cue ball meet tournament specifications?

Manufactured and tested to strict global standards, the Aramith Tournament Black cue ball conforms to accepted tolerances for diameter, weight and balance used in competitive play. The product is widely endorsed by professionals and federations worldwide.

• Ball diameter: 2 1/4" (57.2 mm); net weight: 6 oz.
• Calibrated sphericity and homogeneity for true roll.
• Used in major cue sports tournaments since the 1980s.

Who is this for? Players, coaches, and clubs seeking tournament-grade cue satisfaction will appreciate the Aramith Tournament Black cue ball. If you want a durable, precision-balanced ball that visually reveals spin for practice and withstands heavy use at home or in commercial settings, this six-dot Aramith is built for that purpose. Table owners looking to reduce long-term replacement costs will also value the ball’s extended lifespan and resistance to cosmetic and structural wear.
