Brunswick Accessory Kits

BRUNSWICK BILLIARDS ACCESSORY KITS COME IN THREE STYLES: 

BRUNSWICK, HERITAGE & CENTENNIAL: 

Brunswick calls the accessory kits, "Play Packs" (in case you are using a search engine).
If you purchase any Brunswick pool table from us, we can provide either a Brunswick Play Pack, the Olhausen Gold Deluxe play pack, or a Custom Play Pack that we have created as part of the package.  Please see the post on the Olhausen Play Packs or Custom Play Packs on this Blog.

THE "Brunswick" PLAY PACKAGE INCLUDES:

• Set of standard billiard balls
• Four 58" Brunswick® two-piece cues

The primary difference between the Contender package and the Heritage package are the balls.  Basic billiard balls are made of a nylon material.  A higher quality, better balanced ball is generally made of phenolic resin.  The Contender package has an A-grade phenolic/nylon ball set, and the Heritage package has a phenolic resin ball set.  The Heritage Package also includes a 2-piece short cue for any obstructions.  There are no table covers or cue racks included in either kit.

The biggest difference between the Heritage Play Pack and the Centennial Play Pack is the quality of the Balls and cues.  The Centennial Play Pack also comes with a nine-ball rack.  The Centennial cues are two-piece cues with linen wraps where the Heritage cues are simpler two-piece cues without wraps.  The balls are the big difference.  The Centennial Billiard Balls are the industry standard and retail for $500 on their own.  Here is the difference in pictures:

According to Brunswick, Heritage® pocket balls are designed for daily use. Made by Aramith with high quality phenolic resin, Heritage balls are ground and polished to radial tolerances of 0.003 of an inch, for accurate, reliable performance. All components are solid cast and vitrified, or heat fused for a homogeneous molecular bond. Heritage balls feature bright white and color components and standard numbering style."

Brunswick describes the Centennial Pocket Billiard balls this way, "Centennial® Premium Pocket Balls are the standard of excellence in the industry. Made with premium-grade phenolic resin, Centennial® balls are ground and polished to exacting radial tolerances of 0.001 of an inch for absolutely true and accurate roll. Components are solid cast and "vitrified," or heat fused, for a homogeneous molecular bond. A translucent ivory hue, lustrous color, and a unique "dart" identify Centennial® Balls. With resiliency and balance that allows hairline accuracy, and with numbers and colors that will not rub off, spot, or fade, Centennial® Balls are superior in both playing quality and appearance."

Things to Consider About Covering Your Table:

The greatest threat to long-lived billiard cloth is dust and light.  None of the Brunswick accessory kits come with dust covers or the heavier Naugahyde covers.  We highly recommend having at least a dust cover because they are easy to use, fold, and put away. Dust covers are available for $14 in the following colors:

 

Naugahyde Table Covers (below) are available in different colors and sizes.  Brunswick covers are made specifically for the table indicated and will fit perfectly.  They have a Brunswick brand centered on the cover and the Naugahyde is premium stock.  The Naugahyde covers available from other manufacturers come in the following colors:

If you will be using the table for other activities, there is an insert that we can recommend for $240.  When you put a heavier duty cover over the insert, you can use the pool table like a regular table top.  The Naugahyde non-branded covers are $95-$125 depending on size and we can include these at a 10% discount at the time of sale when you purchase a table with us.  Just ask and we will choose one in the color you want and deliver it with the table.

You can also order a Brunswick branded Naugahyde cover for $189-240 depending on size; Brunswick will custom-make the cover if you are ordering a custom pool table for $225-275.  Brunswick offers its covers in Brown and Black.
