Truly customize your
pool table to fit the style of your game room. Pool
felt manufacturers now offer a wide range of colors
and styles to fit your liking and some even offer
custom pool felt design. While the visual aspect of
your table felt is a large factor in selecting the
right cloth for your table, you must also keep in
mind a number of other factors.
The
grade of cloth used on your table will directly
affect the game play of your table. Some pool table
felt can add resistance to a ball motion causing for
a slower table game, while others offer a tight
thread wound that moves the ball along effortlessly.
The most recognized brand of pool table felt or
cloth on the market is Simonois. They are the
official pool table cloth of the WPBA, USBA
National, and ESPN International tournaments. Their
felt is available in a wide variety of colors and
styles.
It is
always recommended that you hire a professional pool
table felt installation company to refelt your
table. The last thing you want is to spend hours
working on refelting your own table with an end
result of wrinkles, gaps, bumps and inconstancies
when all you really want to do is shoot a game.
There is much more involved than simply tugging,
gluing, and screwing. If your slate is blemished or
if the felt is improperly fitted, you could be
looking at hours of labor and potentially the
permanent damaging of your brand new pool table
cloth.
If you
insist on refelting your own pool table, we strongly
recommend at the very least speaking with a
professional pool table felt installation
specialist. Often times they are willing to give
sound advice over the phone with no obligation. As a
courtesy, when you've applied and removed the cloth
for the fourth time, give them a call back and
invite them over to finish the job. |
