Buying A Pool Table? Check Its Speed
Pool tables are considered relatively "faster" or "slower" based on the speed and the distance the balls tend to travel on any given stroke. On a fast table, for example, a soft, gentle stroke might carry a ball the length of the table and back. A slow table might roll half as far.Some players develop a preference for slow or fast tables. "Speed" is due mostly to qualities of felt and slate.
Always check the speed when buying a pool table or just before you plan to practice or compete on an unfamiliar table.
