Detailed review for all types of pool players
I am going to review this for 2 types of people. 1 review for the average person who wants a pool table. The second, for someone who plays pool on leagues and takes it a bit more seriously than others. I will also list the pros and cons in general of the table at the end. I have had this table a week and have shot around 40-50 racks on it so far.For average play: great table for the price, looks nice and plays well. I got the grey and black because this is in my living room of my apartment which is a 16 by 12 room. I have to use a shorter stick when balls are on the rails on the long side, but other than that, I have plenty of room. It is better than some bar slate tables to be honest. Would be great in a basement, man cave, she shed, or even apartment (I bought the 7 foot table). Was packaged well, arrived with no damage and simple to assemble. Directions said you need 4 people, I did it with me and someone else, but it is heavy and we did have to put muscle into moving it and flipping it. Set up took around 45min-1Hr. Leveling on carpet was a pain, but overall, 5 stars.For people who take pool a bit more seriously: (3.75-4 stars). Again, like I said for average person, it’s a great table for price point and if you are looking to get better at pool and just get a cheap starter table it isn’t bad. But, it does play differently than slate.Bank and kick shots, the ball dies quick, so you have to hit it hard. The felt is completely different than any other table I’ve played on, it is like soft and silky almost, and it isn’t super durable. I went to a craft store and got a 1/8 of a yard of grey fabric and cut it into 8 squares to use it under my cue ball when I break, because I did put a small knick in the felt. The rails are thin and so are the jaws, so you won’t get as many misses compared to most bar tables. If you hit the ball too soft on a long shot, it will slightly curve abnormally. I did level my table, and it still does it slightly. If you have the money, buy a slate table. If you don’t, this is better than the foldable tables offered on Amazon and I’d say still get it because you will improve on aim, stroke, etc. I looked at this table all over to see if I’ll ever be able to re felt when I need to, and it looks like that answer is probably a no, unless I want to go through an extremely tedious process and risk damaging it.I attached photos of the table and the felt where I put the knick, and a video of a bank shot, so you can see how the ball moves. I was hoping someone made a video of how the ball moves on the table and I couldn’t find one, so I figured I’d be the first in case others are curious.Pros: looks nice, bar table size, easy to assemble, can adjust to make level, portable, can fit in apartments (7 foot), good beginner table.Cons: cannot replace the felt with ease, felt is fragile and can damage easily, rails are thin and are kinda dead, jaws are small, pain to level on carpet, abnormal rolls when the cue ball is hit too softly on long shots.Bonus: MONEY SAVING TIP! If you need a pool light and don’t wanna break the bank, don’t buy a “pool light”. They are easily $100-250. Instead, buy a 4-5ft utility light that hangs with chains. They are only $15-30 on Amazon. Way cheaper and works the same.Anyway, I hoped this helps!Ver másVer menos
