how do you measure snooker balls?

Question

how do you do above, have a set to sell but do not no how to find the measurement

Answer 1

According to Wikipedia, 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.) 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)



So you should measure your balls by diameter and measure in metric.

Answer 2

If you have a micrometer or set of calipers, you can get an exact measurement of the ball size.

Answer 3

The better question....How do you hold the snooker down long enough to measure??

Answer 4

get a couple of smallish boxes or thick books and put them against the rail of the table



put the ball between the boxes/books and butt the boxes/books snugly against the ball, keeping them square on with the rail



measure how far apart the boxes/books are and thats the diameter of the ball
