TABLE SIZE OPTIONS

There are two table sizes available, choose the 6ft table for more compact spaces, it’s still plenty big enough for a great game, and most pubs and bars use 6ft tables, so if you’re looking for an authentic pub experience, the 6ft is ideal. But if you want a real tournament experience, and you have the space, then the competition-standard 7ft size is the one to choose. For a more detailed look at the sizes needed to allow when installing a table, please click on the Playing Area Guide button below.

TABLE CONSTRUCTION

The playfield is formed from a single 19mm thick piece of ground slate, machined and flattened for a perfectly level surface. This is cradled in an aluminium support system that keeps the slate in place, and is fastened down with 12 quick-release cushion retainers. This makes it easy to access the slate, for re-clothing or maintenance, but also ensures a uniform ball rebound across all cushions, with no dead spots. This design also has the effect of reducing bounce-outs from the pockets.
