Mitchell ball sets sit neatly between budget club sets and premium phenolic resin, and their Super Polyester Grade A is the pick of the range.

Grade A refers to the selection and finish — tighter tolerances on weight and diameter, and a harder, better-polished surface than standard polyester. On a table that gets played on weekly, that shows up as more consistent roll and a set that keeps its shine considerably longer. The range covers all the formats Australian players actually use: Kelly pool, casino pool and snooker, in both Grade A and standard grades.

For a home or club table where a full Aramith set is more than the budget allows, Mitchell Grade A is the sensible step up from an entry-level set and a noticeable improvement in play.
