What Not To Do To Your New Pool Table
Don’t Allow Pets on Your New Pool Table
The thought of having to call a Pool Table Refelting specialist should be enough to set at least one family rule: No pets are allowed on the pool table.
They can’t help having claws and fur, and doing things unintentionally like scratching or dragging in some dirt or sticks or leaves. Work out a plan to keep an eye on the pets to ensure they don’t jump up on top of the pool table or reach up to rest their front paws on it.
And by the way, of course you realize that this rule should apply to children too, especially those with sticky fingers or toys in their hands!
Don’t Allow Drinks or Food on the Pool Table
Don’t allow food or drinks near the pool table because it could stain or damage the material. When the material on your pool table becomes damaged it affects gameplay, and the only way to fix that is to have the table refelted. If the damage is done and you need a refelting of your pool table, then call the San Francisco Bay Area pool pros to get the job done!
Don’t Use Bad Pool Cues
It may be tempting to get a few pool cues from a thrift store or yard sale, but you may be asking for a pool table refelting if you risk it.
When playing billiards, the cue needs to be perfectly straight with a well-formed tip in order to shoot straight and accurately at the ball. Old pool cues get warped, the tips get frayed around the edges, and the very end of the tip gets round rather than flat.
All those misshaped surfaces can cause the cue to slip right off the ball and straight into felt, gouging a huge mark or tear as you follow through on the strike.
