The advantages of covering your pool table.

Posted on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 by in Billiards Techniques |

The one thing I love more than shooting pool at a bar is shooting on a table in some ones house. It is quieter and your usually with people you know and you can relax better. I had a friend who had a table in their basement and they didn’t cover it when not using it, big mistake. It got rips, burn, holes, and dents in the top. Needless to say when they redid their basement they had to put new felt on the table. I don’t know how much that cost but I am sure it is not very cheap. I highly suggest if any body is going to have a table especially in a basement that gets used for other projects that a protective cover is purchased for the table. Not only will this save from having to put new felt on the table sooner. It will also keep your table free of dirt and dust that gets stirred up in the air and that can settle on your felt. So covering your table can also improve your game play.
