they use brazillian slate in their pool tables...have no idea what it means, all i know is that the surface is excellent - like u r playing in a bar![]()
Avoid the real cheapies and get yourself something with a slate top if possible, nothing more frustrating than a warped wooden top.
Why does everyone say pool tables in bars are great?
Every bar I know has completed fscked pool tables, they aren't level, the felt is screwed etc etc etc...
Come to Pool City in PE...yeah iv never been to a bar or a place where the pool tables are 100%
ok, wrong comparison... better than cheap/dodgy bars
That is true. Unless there is constant supervision you will always get drunken idiots making "mistakes".Even the proper pool halls I've been to have tables that are screwed..
a table will get fixed, and be great for maybe 2 weeks before it starts getting screwed.

My dad had a table in his place and all the regular patrons knew how he felt about messing around on the table. He had signs all over the pool table area - biggest one being "do not sit or lie on the table". One oke tried his luck and also replied in a "rude manner".Yeah, thats the problem...
That and the fact that Pool Halls do kind of go through cycles of being popular, then not popular... and usually on the downward swing they attract more of the drunken idiots....
I bought a Pool table and a Table Tennis table. Both are just gathering dust now 98% of the time. Sometimes when we have a braai or mates over we might have a game of pool. But it's just taking up loads of space tbh...
