Eightbraker is right on this one. The highest quality billiard balls made today are made of phenolic resin. Lower quality polyester balls are still made today. You can definitely tell the difference. Polyester balls don't hold their shape as well, the colors and numbers tend to fade, they won't hold a shine as well. You see a lot of these in cheap bar tables.
