Are you going to do it again this year?

Will it hold 3 grown adults on it?

They r so big and extremely heavy i know because i had to move it all by myself lol

The felt of a new table is too slow it's not giving me nuts anything I can do you know about please tell me

Good morning. Can you advise me on the maximum temperature for ironing a cloth that has a high pile so that the balls can slide more easily? Thank you

When you have mdf and it warped. Can you replace it with stone slate?

This was very informative; I appreciated this.

Just find a valley coin op in good condition...everything is replaceable on those...8 x 4 or 7 x 4...depends on the room you have to play in...then go find a deal on one.

so no playing differences? Maybe I'm worried sitting on it, as it has less structural strength

I find th english tables more easier then the american tables,plus the american game is more fun with different games, nine ball is a massive game around the world!! English pool is not,snooker yes pool no!! I remember the first time i walk into a snooker center in my area with a mate and he said we were playing english pool i couldn't stop laughing as it felt as if i was playing on the little kids tables!! and after a few game's it got boring with just red and yellow playing 8 ball!! but lets face it, Americans well favor their game and english will favor their game, it's just what we grew up with! besides if we pool players wanted a challenge we would be playing snooker!!

There’s a big misconception of what people think when comparing them. The fact is that EU tables smaller in size compared to American when comparing say a 6’ to 9’ the balls are running 50% longer on average. On a 7’ to 9’ the balls are running 29% longer on average. Hitting a ball in from one corner to the other is a hell of a lot longer on a 9’ compared to 6’ or 7’. Imagine a corner to corner on a 12’ snooker table. The other difference is ball size as you say as American balls are 12.5% bigger in essence making the pockets tougher due to ball size. Then the difference in pockets & the corners rounded EU or sharp corner American type & then also the shelf depth difference between the two & the difference in shelf depth between the brands of tables. Then last but not least American pocket size tip to tip can range from wide to small or shimmed down even smaller. The World Pool is using 9’ tables with American style corner pockets shimmed down to 4”. That is tight with the larger American balls. Cheers

Thank you for your this informative video :)

First get a lot of money.

What is the 57" 3/4 length cue in this video? It looks nice!

This is a no brainer. Certainly slate is preferable. I think a better topic for a video is if you have compromised finances or space, such that a pool table might have to be moved, and you are not a pro--in other words, you're just a regular guy who likes to relax with his friends or family and play pool--can you still gain satisfaction from playing on one made from MDF? And the answer is yes. They CAN warp, but if you take care of them and don't expose them to extreme fluctuations of humidity and temperature, they won't warp. I have a bumper pool table from the '70s--one of the junkiest one's made sold by Sears--that spent 20 years in my garage in Philly, and the MDF is virtually unaffected.

British tables are more challenging and more fun for me :) i feel like I’m cheating on American tables haha cheers thanks for the informative video!!

Mdf swells because well it’s particle board. Which means warping . Slate is the only way to go

can we use concrete?

Brilliant video mate! Wondering if we can get British table in New England US?

And all of this because in England we design houses for hobbits where a ‘double’ room can be 10 foot x 10 foot 😅

Quick Summary: MDF tables: suck but are cheap and good for people who lack expirience on a slate bed table. Slate bed: more expensive and way better.

The table at the start, how big the that table?

I don’t know why 90% of the comments are so harsh. It’s a toy.

Can you put a link to the absolute best MDF table that is available please

My thinking is that anything flat covered with the same cloth is going to play the same...you said that pockets/rails are different on an mdf table so if the mdf table makers just make everything identical apart from the bed then you wouldn't be able to tell the difference

Thank you on helping me pick cue size!

Mate £99 for installation that's absurd

You can buy a real car or a toy car for your kids to play with. Same with pool tables, you can buy a real table or MDF one.

This video is incredibly helpful and has definitely cemented me buying a table from yourselves over any other company! Amazing, thank you

Instruction on how to build would be good for video

Where can I buy one?

What a lame table

Mdf is for kids ,slate is the only way to go for serious players.

I have a 13' x 11' room, what would be the ideal pool table and cue size?

Wow amazing review. Not a single word about mdf or slate. A lot of talk about the rails and the felt, which have absolutely nothing to do with the table being mdf or slate. Smh

Do you always do it like this?

It's simple, American pool is a toy version of pool.

Do people drink tea while playing pool?

Glass is best,lolbetter than slate for ball energy,lol

Question, will a modern MDF coated table be compatible to a slate for ball action etc? Or are they miles apart. Thanks.

I was expecting something that explained what size you should get assuming no room limitations. This vid should have been entitled "How to choose a pool cue for small rooms".

I played American pool and it had a triangle, the balls are bigger I noticed than the British balls but the cue seemed the same to me

Just size down on the table if dont have five feet in all areas from the play space. Short cues really take away from the overall experience. If you play a lot on 9ft tables and are 6ft tall or taller a 60 inch cue makes a world of difference.

Your video guide was truly helpful. Many thanks from Austria!

Great video, useful information

Cue tip size will determine the amount of spin you can put on the cue ball but the issue of the farrell splitting based on the force you put on the cue ball is very rare.

I’m looking at the signature tables they are a thing of beauty 😊

There is HUGE difference on how pocket corners are cut. On American pool table there is larger margin for error allowed when playing ball along the rail. On British pool table the ball played along the rail has way much more tendency to not go in. It is very similar how Chinese pool table are built. Chinese pool table is standard tournament 9ft, played with American pool balls, however, the pocket rails are cut like on British pool tables. It means, the pool player on Chinese pool table has to be much more precise, as the pockets are not forgiving anything.

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

How much is a mini pool table?
