Different Kinds of Pool Tables Available In the Market :-
Pool game is considered as a luxury and a competitive sport.
The choice of a pool table requires
an individual’s caution. Different types of pool tables were designed based on
the era of manufacturing using the available materials. Initially, the tables
were made of slate, later transformed to the current use of metal and wooden
together with velvet cushions. The weight of a pool table also determines its type; the weight is determined by
the type of material used. Slate pool tables are heavier as compared to rubber ones.
Slate Pool Table :-
The top is made of slate, which is the best material as it
helps the ball to flow swiftly and within a very short time. A slate is a specific
type of volcanic rock, currently, slate tables are the most recommended
material since most sportsmen have used and proved it beyond reasonable doubt
of its efficiency.
Wooden Pool Table :-
Wooden tables are the second widely used after the slate because
wood is easily available. Additionally latching and planing machines are also
available to shape and smooth the table top. The legs and frames are also made
of wood. Hardwoods are the best because of their durability, although they are
heavy in weight and reduce portability.
Metallic Pool Table :-
Metallic tables are available in the high-end market. Not
the entire table is made of metal but mostly, the legs and the frame. The type
of metal should be rust free, Aluminum acts as the best metal due to its
rust-free nature and lightness in weight, and however, it is prone to breakage
and folds when hit by a heavy object. Some of the tables are made of steel
which is also recommended, despite the use of the metal, the top is cushioned
with smooth cloth like velvet.
Rubber Pool Table :-
Rubber is a good material for making sports equipment
because of their bouncing nature. The smoothness of the rubber also increases its
durability when in contact with the ball during the game. The only challenge is
its ability to be prone to wear and tear and it needs replacement.
