In any event clips would be good for quick non-destructive testing of
the dynamic properties of various ball materials.


I think I could make some neat clips out of strips of sheetmetal and

Nobody had mentioned duct tape. I have some clear duct tape!
I have now bought the billiard balls (new) for almost nothing.


Would a single cable tie secured in place with something like Loctite to
stop it slipping off work?
