Billiards Table Steel Cushions
when I was a youngster my mentor used to tell me about the
good old days going down to the Billiards hall with the boys socializing
playing little Billiards certainly things have changed a whole lot since then
hi I'm Anil Mishra form Tanishq Billiards and we're talking Billiards tables
now specifically slate Billiards tables Steel Cushions and they'll range from
One Lakh Ninety Five Thousand Rupees to Four Lakh Fifty Thousand Rupees and
there are six things to look for in choosing a Billiards table.
one the slate secondly the frame third the legs for cushion
and rails five the cloth and six the playing equipment let's take a closer look
at each one of these a quality slates of Billiards Table is a
once-in-a-lifetime purchase it falls into the same category.
I said slate there are no substitutes for slate such things
as plywood slate teen slate X and honeycombare introduced in the industry but
don't give you the same playing characteristics as slate now let's take a look
at slate first of all what is it it's a rock it's been mined it's quarried and
it's leveled to one thousandth of an 45mm this is the stands of the industry
three-quarter inch slate also there's one 45mm slate the pros use one inch
slate the BCA the your Congress America recognizes this slate as the most
accurate in the world it's perfectly honed perfect playing characteristics above
and beyond that there you also have inch and a quarter now you compare that
it's thicker again more weight more tracking better playing characteristics
don't be fooled by thinner slate many dealers around the country will
substitute this for thinner there is no substitute thinner.
Pro slates slate is only as good as the frame that supports
it it's what's inside of a Billiards table that counts let's take a closer look
the standard of the industry is to have two cross beams support the slate now
this may be sufficient if we're only using 45mm slate however if you're going
to thinner or inch and a quarter slate more support is necessary this is quad
beam construction in addition to the two cross beams what you have is two long
beans it's essential when using one inch or inch and a quarter of slate giving
you the perfect play field forever ninety percent of the weight of a Billiards table
is from the cabinet to the top of the slate and through the normal use of a BilliardsTables such as leaning on it when you're shooting well let's say sitting on the
edge puts a lot of undue stress on the leg.
Now the industry produces two different type of legs let's
take a look at them this is a post leg I call it the perfect leg it's a solid
piece of wood from the floor all the way up to the slate and a slate actually
rests on the leg itself as opposed to the standard in the industry which is a
two-piece leg in this case here there's a transition from the leg to the frame
now that we understand the importance of the leg and the stability of the Billiardstable.
let's talk cushions there are two different types of rails
and cushions available in the market today one is synthetic material one is a natural
gum material let's take a look at both of these when new a synthetic cushion
has great playing characteristics however because they douse a clay filler it
tends to dry out and loses its bounce it becomes what we known as a dead rail
and an expensive replacement item on the other hand the natural gum rubber
cushion is designed to keep it same great playing characteristics for as long
as you own the Billiards table so what is there
To know about billiard cloth first of all it should be between 30 and 32 ounces to give you the maximum life also it should be a combination 100% wool that nap that fuzziness to the table also the woolen gives it at super strength just in case there's a miscue one other thing you should insist on teflon coated cloth just to protect you against spills and stains now let's take a look at accessories when it comes to accessories you can get as basic or as elaborate as you like most Billiards tables come with the standard balls cues triangle and chalk.
