Our pin bagatelle balls are better quality than many provided with bagatelle games. They are made from rust-resistant stainless steel and we sell them in various sizes. These balls are designed to go with Bagatelle games but will work with any games that use ball bearings.
WARNING: Not all bagatelle games are the same size and there is no guarantee that these balls will fit your game - please measure your balls before ordering!
The 9/16 inch (~14mm) diameter balls fit our old 80cm long hand-made Oak and Ash faced pin bagatelles, now discontinued.
If you aren't sure what size will fit your game, there are some ways to improve your chances of getting the right size.
* Firstly, measure the ball channel that the balls start in. This normally has a significant leeway on either side and should give you an upper bound for the diameter.
* If your board has scoring cups, then measure the inside diameter of these - this gives a lower bound for the diameter of the ball.
* Finally, measure the distance from the edge of the board to the centre of the sprung pin. On the vast majority of bagatelles, this is the pin on the top left side of the board that the ball usually hits first after running around the top of the game. This distance should be half or a little more than half the diameter of the ball. Err on the smaller side because if the ball is even slightly bigger than this distance, it will not bounce back up the board but will instead bounce into the heart of the game which can ruin the experience.
