Imbalanced Pool Balls

One side is heavy so they roll weird.

That’s all. I’ll take a break from weird pool ball ideas.

       So, small-sized Lawn Bowls balls? That could work! Might need a cradle of some sort for the cue ball to start it in the right orientation.

       I've played on my share of pool tables that did this without needing to modify the balls.

       Heheh. You said balls.

       hmmm, you'd need to ensure that the weighted ends of the balls in the rack were all exactly downwards or they will not rack properly before the break. Other than that, will the cue ball be off-ballanced as well?   

       My wife and I are currently looking for a pool table for the pub I am putting the finishing touches on, (meaning several months, possibly next spring knock-on-wood), and I think this would catch on.   

       Only locals would know about the weighted balls.   

       We are 1200 in the winter and 30,000+ in the summer.This would be an awesome prank set.   

       You alright if I steal this idea and shoot you some videos? Might be a while.
