Palko ball sets cover the everyday formats — Kelly pool, casino pool and snooker in both 17-ball and 22-ball configurations — at prices that suit a home table.

They are a sound choice for a table that gets played on socially. The balls are properly round and evenly matched, which is what matters most for a game to play fairly, and the finish holds up well to regular use. Having both snooker configurations available is genuinely useful. The 17-ball set with ten reds suits a smaller home table, giving you a real game of snooker with room to move the cue ball.

Palko also make cues and accessories, so a whole table setup can be assembled from one brand with consistent availability.
