Billiard Equipment
Before any of the varied billiard games can be played,
there are some basic pieces of billiard equipment that will be required.
The most basic item is the table itself. Tables can be purchased for
just a few hundred dollars for a used or low-quality model, or can cost
thousands of dollars for a top of the line version.
Balls are an essential part of billiard equipment. The cost of a new
set of billiard balls can range from nearly nothing, to several hundred
dollars. For most non-professional players, the differences in these
balls are nearly undetectable, which means that an inexpensive set will
work fine in most cases.
Cue sticks are required pieces of billiard equipment. They range in
price from under 50 dollars to well over 1000 dollars. Expensive cues
are often considered prize possessions by those that own them.
