We have had many years learning how to move Snooker and Pool Tables – there is a reason why many removal firms won’t attempt this. The possibility of damage to the structure of the table and those moving it just isn’t worth it!!

A recent innovation has been the use of either tubular heaters or panel type heaters attached to the underside of full size snooker table slate beds, the idea being to prevent dampness in the woollen cloth and warm the rubbers up increasing the speed of the table.

However only a small amount of heat is required. We have recently come across issues where tables go out of level due to excessive heat causing the timber frames to move, especially if the table has been stored for some time. The slate joints can also move.
Low heat on all the time is better and best left off altogether in summer.

You may have heard of steel block matchplay cushions – but what exactly are they?

Normal snooker table cushions are made of a hardwood surround with a softwood block attached, on to which the cushion rubbers are glued.

A steel block table has a 1/2 inch steel plate on to which the softwood block and rubbers are fixed. This is then bolted on to the slate bed, with a separate hardwood surround bolted on to the steel plate.

The idea is that it makes for a faster, more accurate rebound which improves playing quality. Whilst this is true, more significant is the quality of the rubber and the finish of the cloth. It’s also worth remembering the majority of snooker tables are not steel block and most players never notice. This type of table is usually around 20/30% more expensive as they cost more to manufacture.
