Show off your love for pool with this fully parametric keychain. It's the perfect personalized gift for the pool shark in your life, or a great tag for your own cue case.

This model is designed to be "smart"—when you select a ball number, it automatically updates the preview to the correct color (yellow, blue, black, etc.) and adds the white stripe for all the "high" balls (9-15).
