All about Pool Tables

Pool tables are coming back in vogue again with different more contemporary styles and different coloured cloths, basically any colour you want.

And the more contemporary table designs  make them more pleasing to the eye. A well crafted pool table is still a beautiful thing although a tad bulky. Allow for the cue action whilst planning a den when you select a table and allow an extra 10 ft on the width and length to cater for playing with a cue. So if you have a 6 foot table your room size will have to be sixteen feet by 13 ft to give space all around the pool table to manipulate the cue,  seventeen feet by 14 feet for a 7 ft table etc.

Pool Tables vary in price too. They are priced from $50 for small models or up to $10000 for the more exotic versions and the determining factor is the bed, which can be wood or hard rock (slate). The MDF tables are mostly for kids although there are some very nice wood topped tables that can come in 7 ft sizes,large enough for even dad to play on and not as expensive as the slate table top versions.

Proper pool tables are slate bed tables, no wooden topped table will have the same playing characteristics as one made with slate. Slate can be anything from ½ inch to 1 ½ inches thick allowing for the type or model of table. Of course they weigh more than MDF tables. Depending on the size of the table the slate is made from one or up to 3 separate parts, to save carrying weight when installing the table. The one piece slate table is easy to put together, the multi slate tables should always be installed by professionals as they can be tricky to line up right.

The pool table bases also come in a variety of materials from the traditional types made of solid timber or MDF to the brick outhouse style of steel tables made to stand up to the hurley burley of pool club life. The table to go for is up to you, with the wood or MDF tables for domestic use and the steel and aluminium framed tables are made for the clubs. The aluminium and steel tables  also lend themselves to garish outer decoration which you can see in the arcades especially but tables made for home tend to be straightforward stained oak or mahogany.

There are many different games played on pool tables .  Carombole, which is played in France mostly, is one of the classic billiards games  played for points scored by hitting either or both of the other balls on the table which has NO pockets. The more common tables do have pockets, and the most popular games are 8 ball and 9 ball, with 8 ball you have to pocket your 7 balls and then the number 8 ball, and with 9 ball you have to pocket the number 9 ball to win.

Pool tables have a long history and are part of the larger family of billiard tables which have been around for a few hundred years and include snooker, carom and pool tables, and I’m sure they will be around for a few more hundred years as the game can be played by anyone and if you get really good at it you can earn a very decent living on the professional playing circuit.
