« Optimising the Billiard Table of a true enthusiast. | Main

A typical problem in a pub where the pool table is out of level. The Sundial Hotel, Bury, Lancashire.
The Sundial Hotel, 312 Walmersley Road, BL9 6QF, 0161 787 2944.
This pub had a typical problem with their pool table. They had played a league match, and there were complaints that the table was out of level.
The table was indeed not level. We levelled the table perfectly on the four corners and mapped the table to show the inherent errors in the slate surface. The table will now play at it's best, but there are errors that could be improved upon if we installed two slate support brackets to optimise the table surface.
If we are allowed to do this, I will publish here, the map of the table surface after optimising.
The table will now run true enough to all but the serious player . A good pool player would detect the errors in the surface. It is really up to the landlord to decide on the feedback from the customers, whether we provide the best playing surface.
