Pool tables

kurpal_v2 · Postby **kurpal_v2** » July 10th, 2009, 9:50 pm

So Im in the market for a pool table for myself as I enjoy the game but dont have much time to go to pools halls around my area.

Im not looking for the creme of the crop tables but something simple enough to perform its duties and last a while.

Anyone can recommend me the price ranges of these? What brands to look for?

Any tips on what to look for? Im looking at a 7ft table preferably.

Thanks..

The ones at sports and games don't have real slate . Tables with real slate will cost about 10k upwards according to style. Ramsingh's has a real slate table for 16k ( we have one of these working commercially ..really pretty table). You can check Mr Billiards in Aranguez but his prices are ridiculously high. I have a table that I have for sale .... pm ur addie and I will send pics

i second mr billards.
you should at least talk to them before making a decision

btw he's supposed to have 1" thick hardboard tables (not mdf) made to international standards. this will be a cheaper option.

i eh no pool expert but i agreed 101% !

anything besides slate just does NOT play d same way - d balls roll differently , d velocity , feel of game is just not d same ...u ever hit a slight poke & it flying going to d other end ...dise frustration or a time a played on either a ply or mdf surface table & all d pocket corners cut out holes like it curl & raise up slightly so when d ball suppose to go in it heading in & rolling back out & we like bwtf boy !?...

it expensive for a reason ...

what kind you want?? slate is the best board, but expensive, 10G up n ting. my one is normal MDF, they go from 4G up for the competition size. but, if you get a pool board, you gonna eventually stop playing, its like hearing a song on the radio you like, when you get it, you will get fed up of it. my pool board is now my poker table lol, the cards is slide nice on the felt, and the green makes it seem official.

buy a slate board and done talk..

those other cheap ones won't play good after awhile.

The slate is sumthing like marble that they cover with felt and the balls roll on that, they replace it with Mdf so U save on costs.
