    What is the ball at the top of a flagpole called?

    Question #16438. Asked by maryfrances.

    Senior Moments

    Senior Moments says:

    On top of a flag pole is the flagpole truck and finial. A flagpole truck is a
    set of bearings that swings around with the flag and keeps it from wraping around the pole and the finial, which is normally a ball, sits on top.

    On most flagpoles it is imaginatively called a ball. Flagpoles with trucks are usually used by the military. Finial is a general term for an ornamental terminating part.
