People Really Love Their Pool Tables

By Jaclyn Hurley


Lining up the cue ball, ready to strike the black and sink the winning shot. It doesn't always go to plan but the good old game of pool will always be the king of pub games. Snooker is another name for this game of skill and trigonometry. Playing this traditional game on very well-made pool tables like those found in Denver, Colorado can help turn your skill into a professional sport.

Whether it is a coin operated table or a personal table for your own use, creating a design that will both make a wonderful addition to a pub or a games room in your house can be a rewarding experience. Solid wood to artificial plastic wood can be used to create these master pieces. Have a design that will complement your existing furniture or create a dual purpose table.

Other variations on the game are the trick shots. This is where the player tries to curve or spin the cue ball around the table to sink that near impossible shot. This takes many years of practice and skill, like any sport practice makes perfect.

The sizing of the table is determined by the space available and can be custom made to fit any unique situation. Choosing a classic design would be the easiest way to go but it will not be a one of a kind table. A one of a kind table can be a show stopper in any games room can playing on a table that has been made for one individual can even become a heirloom for the children.

Professional players need a professional table made with the best materials. This is usually done by hand crafting the table out of solid hardwoods such as maple. These professional tables tend to have a more traditional hand crafted finished to them with ornate decorations to show it's a well- made table. These tables also tend to be heavy, expensive and can take up a lot of space.

Some of these tables can be designed to serve two purposes, one as a pool table and another as a dining table. This has been a popular choice when space is limited. A simple hardwood cover can be removed and stored under the table. Coin operated tables have been popular with the pubs as it generates revenue for them and they are also harder wearing and abuse proof compared to the hardwood cousins.

Most professional tables have a single sheet of slate for the playing field and high quality rubber cushions and super fine cloth that doesn't ball up from cleaning. These tables can be cumbersome but the difference in playing on these and a commercially made table makes a big difference. The commercial tables would use a hardwood board as the playing field and can be easily dented if the balls are dropped on them constantly.

Not only is playing pool good for mental stimulation but it's a great socializing tool as well. Whether you play at home with friends and family or go out for the night to challenge new opponents, pool will always be around creating amazing memories. Specialized dealers like those in Denver, Colorado can assist with the selecting and purchasing of a pool table whether it's for your home or the local pub.
