While slick, I have to question his claims of how durable it is, and wonder how long until the surface wears too much... if it lasts as long as felt, then bravo on them. The advantage of a felt table of course is that it can be recovered easily enough (I'd assume if you have enough to get a quality pool table, then recovering costs aren't a problem... now if you got a cheap pool table then there might be problems).

like the pool table, i think she charges by the hour.


p.s Heels on felt. she should have a life time ban from that hall

Climate denier found it first and is currently using it as pool table.

That was weak. Pool table without slate is not a pool table.

I am copy-pasting my previous comment from here:

For those totally unfamiliar with Snooker, let me explain a couple of points: Putting the black earns you 7 points, but you'll have to put one red before putting another.

So there really is only ONE way to get 147. you have to put all the balls in exactly this order. red,black,red,black.... and so on until all reds are down, then you HAVE to do yellow,green,brown,blue,pink and finish it of with black. ONLY that order. He could NOT, for instance, pop down the blue or something in the middle there, it HAS to be in this particular order.

Now, most of you have probably tried pool. And if you think pool is hard (like me) try just looking at a snooker table, its about twice as big, and the balls are smaller, and the holes are f¤%&&ing IMPOSSIBLE to put into. Not only are they smaller, but unlike a pool table, they have these rounded edges that makes it even harder.

So when I said this is hard, I really, really mean it. Only an elite few in the world can do this, and it doesnt happen often. Even in big star games like this reaching 100 is considered really, really good. The fact that O'sullivan does this one in 6 and a half minutes, and another one in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, makes him one of the coldest sons'o'bitches on the whole planet IMO, and its one of the greatest sports achievements ever.

Points for the various colors:

red-1

yellow-2
green-3
brown-4
blue-5
pink-6
black-7

Every color, except red, gets placed back on the table, for as long as there are reds left, so you COULD do red-blue,red-yellow, red-black and so on, except then you are "using up" reds to put low-scoring balls, so to make 147, you have to start with red-black,red-black etc.

When all the reds are down, the remaining balls, have to be done in the order of their points, from 2 to 7

As an avid pool player, I was more interested in looking at his beautiful pool table. Tight pockets on it, too.

Anybody knows what happened with that pool table fire?

Flaming pool table quote of the day, "Dude! Get the gasoline... get the ga... you know..."

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Changed! Everyone loves a self-levelling pool table.

This is what I mean, side to side movement can be countered by overcorrecting the tilt. This would explain why the table's apparent movement is so large. >> ^messenger:

If it were above the ship's roll centre, then it would have a lot of side-to-side movement to compensate for which is hard when your range of motion is mostly up and down. It would be easier towards the outside of the ship where there's a lot less side-to-side movement, and more up-and-down, which would merely increase or lessen the gravity on the balls, which is no big deal in a casual game.>> ^Spacedog79:
A mechanical gyro causing the movement would have delay and the balls would roll slightly. Assuming the table is above the ship's roll centre, the table would have to over correct for the ship's movement in order to keep the balls exactly in place. Most likely electronic gyros and good hydraulics with no stiction and powerful enough to not be affected by players putting pressure on the table.
