Picking the Perfect Pool Table – Have You Got Game?

Trying to make a decision about the pool table that will grace your Northern California home? That is no small feat because if you are going to spend the money, the quality should at least be topnotch.

Above all else, you also want to be sure that you have a quality table that will help you perfect your game. Even if you are more of a hobbyist, you should be able to feel as though you are improving your game by setting yourself up for success with a high-quality table.

You should also be able to get a table that is built-to-last. A quality table may require some maintenance and repairs, but you should be able to have the same billiards table for years, if not decades, to come.

What to Look for in a Pool Table

Ready to add a pool table to your home? Then there are a few things that you should look for as far as quality traits:

Unsurpassed quality is the most important trait. There honestly is no point in investing into a table that is inferior in quality. You are not “saving” money if you will need frequent repairs and will have to replace the table long before it should be time. For instance, look for a table that is slate backed with at least ¾ of an inch of supporting wood.
Even a beginner pool player understands the importance of the table being level. There is literally no way to play a proper game if the table is not level. The more you move a table, the more likely it is to become uneven. Try, once you have pool table installation in place, not to move it or, at the very least, minimize the amount of moving you subject it to. This will help maintain the level integrity of your pool table.
Everyone knows that modern pool tables are covered in felt. However, that felt should be glued and then screwed into place. Too many consumers get tricked into buying felt that has been just lightly glued and stapled which will never last long-term.
Even the rails and cushions matter. The railings should be crafted from quality hardwood because, the better the wood, the less the vibration. This is important for ball contact with the rail. Quality cushions with canvass backing is ideal for a good table, and will also adhere better to the rail.
