Why do phenolic resin pool balls matter more than polyester balls?

During a hard break or power shot, friction between the ball and table cloth can momentarily reach 400°F+. Cheaper polyester balls soften under that friction, picking up flat spots and leaving white burn marks on your felt. Belgian Aramith pure phenolic resin resists friction heat, stays spherical for decades, and protects expensive table cloth.
