Set of 3 Black Skittle Balls - 5.5 inch (UK)  

MTG Logo
  Competitive skittlers have for centuries preferred balls made from the traditional wood, Lignum Vitae. However, Lignum has become increasingly hard to source and it seems clear that soon it will be impossible to buy any at all.

As an alternative, we offer these balls, made from a modern black composition material with a weight and density deliberately matched to Lignum. They are designed with serious pub and league players in mind and feature Masters Traditional Games branding.

This is a set of 3 balls, each measuring 5.5 inches and weighing 4lb 8oz. They are primarily used with 12 inch skittles in Devon and Somerset. If you play in a skittles league, please verify with the league authorities that they are suitable before purchasing.

We've had a couple of customers who have tried to play these balls on concrete alleys, having previously used Lignum Vitae balls. Lignum Vitae has a tiny bit of give in the material which means they are more accomodating to a very hard surface. Resin and urethane balls are not so forgiving and any very hard impact risks splitting the ball. It may be possible to use these balls on concrete alleys but please first ensure that your backdrop is upgraded to completely cushion the impact of the balls. Please also be sure that anything hard and pointy on the alley is removed and that any hard corners are also padded to avoid a hard impact with the ball.Approx. dimensions: Each ball 5.5 inch diameter, 4lb 8oz
