ABSTRACT:
A cue ball has a metal insert therein in the form of a ring having a center of mass coinciding with the geometric center of the cue ball. The body of the cue ball is formed of a nonmetallic material in a conventional ball mold. A locating insert is formed of the same nonmetallic material as the body of the ball and has a solid cylindrical body about the center of which a thin strip of metal material is wrapped forming a ring. The insert with the metal ring disposed thereon is positioned within the ball mold along a diameter thereof with an outermost end of the insert resting on the inner surface of the mold. In one embodiment, the locating insert includes an annular groove extending about the cylindrical body and in which the metal is wrapped. The length of the insert from an outermost end of the insert to the center of the annular groove is equal to the radius of the ball mold. In another embodiment, the locating insert includes a cylindrical body with a length equal to the width of the metal strip and shafts of reduced cross-sectional area extending outwardly therefrom along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body. The length of the insert from the outermost ends of the shafts to the center of the cylindrical body about which the metal is wrapped is equal to the radius of the ball mold.
