Three Key Factors in Pool Slate

A speedy assessment of a pool table's slate is needed when you are browsing among many for a great play opportunity.

Whether you are choosing the better tables at the pool hall or considering a used or new table for purchase, ponder:

• The level of the table

• The underlay of the table

• The challenge of the table

You want a table slate level enough for play, with a quality underlay to preserve the level for years to come. On a personal note, you want enough challenge to occupy you without creating frustration.
