Choosing Between Slate Or MDF Pool Table Top

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

For billiard enthusiasts, having their own billiard supplies and equipment is very important. It only fortifies their passion and love for the billiards sport. At the heart of their billiard supplies acquisition is a pool table. This is the most basic piece of gaming equipment that any billiard player should have.

When choosing this particular item, careful planning and thorough research should be done as pool tables can come in different materials. Usually the two options you will be given is a slate or an MDF pool table top. These two different types of material have its own advantages and disadvantages. Knowing them is important to help you choose what’s best for you.

A slate pool table top has an excellent and even playing surface. This is the only type of table top that has been approved for tournament use. It is extremely stable that balls will roll smoothly on its surface and at precise directions giving you a feel on how it is like to be in a tournament play. Slate table tops are also very durable. They are able to withstand water spills and moisture and wouldn’t warp or sag easily. The disadvantage, however, is that these slates are very heavy. Transporting and installing them is very difficult and cumbersome.

MDF table tops are otherwise known as medium density fiberboard surfaces. They are flat pieces made from compressed tiny pieces of wood or sawdust similar to what we see in particle boards. They are extremely lightweight and will make a suitable playing surface for any home use. Their lightweight structure makes it easy for them to be transported around. When these things break down, repairs are very affordable since the make of the material is far cheaper than slate. A disadvantage in using the MDF table tops is that they can readily warp or sag once they are exposed to water, moisture or highly humid environment.

A Pool Table Cover to Keep Your Investment Safe

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

The pool table cover is an important item that should top your list on billiard supplies and accessories. Sure, you’re brand new table deserves to be on display but what if a few days later you suddenly find out it has a huge stain in it or it has been scratched? This can ruin your pricey investment when, in fact, this situation could have been easily avoided had you managed to put a cover on it in the first place.

The pool table is a very expensive piece of playing equipment and it deserves some kind of protection. Using a cover, you can keep it in top shape when it is not in use. This is especially true as dust and dirt can easily settle in the table. They can creep in in-between the felt and weaken the material making it prone to tearing.

Sometimes friends and guests don’t realize the value of a pool table and they may inadvertently put their drinks on top of it and cause unnecessary spills and mess. It would be a shame to have your magnificent pool get ruined by an ugly stain on its surface. If you have pets around, having a fitted cover is important so they couldn’t pull the cover down and jump on it causing some scratches. If you don’t have storage cabinets, having the rest of your billiard supplies under the covers can protect the rest of your items, too.

Having windows nearby can cause weather elements to come in. Hence, it is best to buy a pool table cover and keep it safe. Sunlight can cause the felt to fade and rain water leaks can cause serious damages. To have it repaired can be very costly. A small amount of money that you invest in a pool table cover can go a long way.

Getting the Right Pool Table Cover

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Every pool table owner should have one. Unless you have a dust-free pool room, it makes sense to provide a pool table cover for that delicate piece of gaming furniture. Dust and debris have a way of eroding your pool table rails and felt cloth top. Never mind the hardwood rails as they can withstand dust.

Nothing beats being pro-active and preventing dust to accumulate to begin with. And there’s a wide variety of pool covers to do the job well. When you’ve spent anywhere from $3000 to $5000 and higher on a spanking pool table, investing on as little as $60 or less for a pool cover is pittance.. That’s just the equivalent to about 1% to 2% of your pool table cost.

So how does one go about getting the right pool cover? If the dealer of your pool table didn’t offer you one when you bought it, there are aftermarket pool covers in a variety of brands, colors, sizes, materials and prices to fit your taste and budget. It would also be a good idea to get one that matches your pool table’s wood color or room décor.

If you are in the market for one, the first thing to do is to get the table specs and check its dimensions. You can measure that yourself. Sizes typically matches pool table dimensions with the smallest around 38″ x 76″ to the largest at 50″ by 100.” A good fit gives always makes the cover look good on your pool table.

Looking at most pool cover inventories on the net, some of the better ones hover in the $100 price point. And there are truly inexpensive ones starting at $7. Of course, just like any merchandise item out there, there are exotic covers that can cost an arm.

In general, the better and practical pool table covers are made of leatherettes on the outside with soft cloth linings on the inside to gently protect the pool table top and wood rails. You can see different descriptions such as fabric-backed or polyester-lined vinyl covers. The inexpensive ones forgo the linings altogether but are nonetheless gentle as they are made of soft synthetic cloth-like materials or plastic.

While the more expensive one use soft suede, real leather or some exotic cloth with silk linings. Some even have pillow-like fillings in-between. And they often look better on your pool table especially if it matches your interior design.

Regardless of which pool cover you choose, just remember that pool covers do an ounce of prevention every time you use it. Arguably the more expensive ones do a better job. But you need not spend more than necessary. Anything above $100 would most likely belong in the frivolous luxury category.

The Sizes of Pool Tables – How to Know Which Billiards Table Size is Right For You

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

Many people who come to buy a billiards table for the very first table are surprised to learn that pool tables don’t all come in one standard size. In reality, there are four standard sizes that a player can get for their home game room. Which one you settle on is going to be determined by your budget, your home size, and what style of play you like. To aid in your decision, here are the four major table sizes and pro and cons of each.

7 Foot Billiards Table

The smallest is the 7 foot billiard tables. This is much smaller than what you typically find in pool halls and bars, and you never find this size in pool halls. Since this size typically usually means you aren’t getting a very high quality pool table, there are only three reasons that a person should choose this table. Firstly, if you have an especially small budget and can’t afford a larger table, then this will be your best choice. Secondly, if you simply have too small a room to accommodate a larger table, then this should be your best table. And thirdly, if you are buying for kids who might have more fun on an easier and smaller table, then you should buy a seven foot billiards table.

8 Foot Pool Table

If you step into most home game rooms and bars, chances are you are going to find an 8 foot table. It’s a popular size because they are usually reasonable affordable, can fit in most people’s spare rooms, and is just plain easier to install than the larger nine foot tables. You can even find this size in some sanctioned tournaments. If you want a good billiards table that combines affordability with a high level of play, and eight footer is most likely your best bet. This is also an ideal choice if you want something that is challenging and fun to play on, but not quite as challenging as a nine foot table.

8.5 Foot Billiards Table

This is probably the least common pool table size out of the four. Eight and half foot tables are ideal if you want something a little bigger than what you might typically find in your average home, but can’t quite fit or afford a nine foot table.

9 Foot Pool Table

If you really want to get what the professionals play on, then your first choice is going to have to be a nine foot billiards table. It’s the size used in most sanctioned pool tournaments, and the larger size presents a considerable challenge to any player. Another nice little advantage of nine foot tables is that when you switch to playing on an 8 foot again, like when you visit your local pool hall or viist a friends pool table, it seems a lot easier to play on.

When deciding on a billiards table size, remember that you will have to allow for not just the size of the table in your game room, but also the length of the cues and room to walk around the game room. As a rule of thumb, make sure to accommodate at least nine feet of space around the billiards table in room you have the billiards table in.
