Dyna|spheres® English Pool Gold 508 – Phenolic Resin Balls

The English 8-Ball 508 is a full 16-ball English pool set from the Dynaspheres English Pool Pro Series, manufactured from phenolic resin and built to professional specification. The 508 designation refers to the 50.8mm ball diameter, the standard for English pool tables in UK pubs, clubs, arcades, and amusement venues. Where the traditional English pool set uses solid red and yellow balls, the English 8-Ball 508 uses a striped and solid ball configuration, giving venues the visual appeal of the American pool colour scheme on the smaller 50.8mm format. This makes it a practical choice for operators who want to offer the striped and solid aesthetic their customers recognise from television and American pool, without changing to a different table size. The cue ball is 47.6mm, the correct size for coin-operated English pool tables, and carries 6 red dot markings for spin and rotation visibility. E-Service (Europe) Ltd is the official UK distributor for Dynaspheres.

The English 8-Ball 508 ships as a complete 16-ball set: 7 striped balls, 7 solid balls, 1 black 8-ball, and 1 cue ball. A cleaning cloth is included as standard. The ball configuration follows the striped and solid layout familiar from American pool but sized at 50.8mm for English pool tables. This means operators get the visual format of a striped and solid game on the table size that UK venues already run, without needing to change equipment or table setup. The cue ball is smaller at 47.6mm, which is standard practice for coin-operated English pool tables. The size difference allows the ball-return mechanism to separate the cue ball from the object balls automatically when it is potted, redirecting it to the side box rather than the pocket tray. The 6 red dot markings on the cue ball provide a clear visual reference for reading spin and roll, and the red colour makes the cue ball easy to identify at a glance on a table with both striped and solid object balls.

The English 8-Ball 508 is built from phenolic resin, the material standard for professional and commercial pool balls, chosen for its hardness, impact resistance, and dimensional stability under sustained heavy use. Hardness is rated at 59 Rockwell minimum, meaning the surface resists chipping, crazing, and wear across thousands of commercial games. Roundness is held to 0.03mm maximum deviation, ensuring each ball rolls true and responds predictably to cue contact. Object balls weigh 118.5g and the cue ball 97.8g, both within the tolerances required for correct response on coin-operated English pool tables. Density is 1.73 across the full set, giving consistent weight and feel from every ball.

7 x striped balls (50.8mm), 7 x solid balls (50.8mm), 1 x black 8-ball (50.8mm), 1 x cue ball (47.6mm, 6 red dots), 1 x cleaning cloth. Total: 16 balls plus cleaning cloth.

The English 8-Ball 508 is manufactured to 50.8mm, the English pool standard. It is not compatible with American pool tables, which use 57.2mm balls, or with continental and European pool tables, which use 52.4mm balls. The smaller 47.6mm cue ball is correct for coin-operated English pool tables and should not be substituted for a larger cue ball. Operators should confirm their table format before ordering.
