运动休闲－斯诺克台球用什么球比赛？Snooker

 　　A standard set of balls for the snooker table consists of 15 reds, 6 colours and 1 white / cue ball. Historically, snooker balls were made exclusively from heavy ivory. Thankfully, these quickly became a thing of the past and were replaced before the Second World War by lighter¹ Crystallite balls made from the crushed shin bones of cows. Today, snooker balls are entirely² made from synthetic³ materials.
