I've gotten the black pool felt blues--have you?

If white is the composite of all spectrums of color and black is the absence of color or light, black pool felt can give one a cloth headache.

We've spoofed pool felt colors before and taken more serious pool felt reviews also at About.com, but believe it or no, people really do use black pool felt on pool tables!

Stylish yet maddening, black cloth makes dropping the black 8-ball can become truly difficult. Although I recommend that as the pros you not look anywhere along the shot path, but directly at the targeted object ball, still, black pool table felt can make life unpleasant indeed. Sigh.
