Where To Buy Pool Tables
Home Pool Tables
The popularity of pool is growing all the time. What with Sky sports now showing pool tournaments live on TV, it is becoming the table game of choice, overtaking the more traditional game of snooker. The attraction is easy to see, it is an easy game to master and it is much quicker than its big brother snooker. This has increased the demand for home pool tables, providing you have the room for them and because they are smaller than snooker tables, more houses can accommodate them. Of all the billiards games, pool is the most played with tables in local pubs and leisure centres.
For the best experience, the slate bed tables are best, the MDF tables are not as responsive. The slate comes in thickness’s of ¾ inch to a full 1 ½ inches depending on the cost of the table. As might be supposed with that much rock on the table they are very heavy compared to their wooden counterparts. The slate itself can come as 1 piece or 2 or 3 separate pieces to save carrying weight when installing the table. Whilst single piece slate tables can be installed easily by the customer providing you have some hefty mates to help you put the slate on, the multi slate tables should always be installed by professionals as they can be tricky to line up right.
The frame of the pool table can be made from wood or metal which are used in the busy clubs. The choice of table really depends on the use it is put to, with the wooden types looking more decorous in the home environment and the steel and aluminium framed tables are made for the clubs. Tables made with metal frames are often painted with flash outlandish colours whereas the domestic tables have more traditional varnishes.
The games played on pool tables vary depending on which country you are in from the French which play on Carom pool tables which don’t have any pockets! They play a form of billiards on these tables where you score points for hitting the object ball or your opponent’s ball or both. Tables that do have pockets are more familiar and the games played are most often 8 ball and 9 ball. Pool tables 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 it is a great game that anyone can play and if you get really good at it you can earn a very decent living on the professional playing circuit. So get yourself a pool table or get down to your nearest club and enjoy!
