Why does my pool table cloth lift when I grip it with my hand?

Posted by admin
Thomas asked:


The cloth has been doing this ever since I got this table. I’ve played on many different pool/snooker tables and I have never seen this happening. Why is this happening?

      The first place it has to be stretched extremely tight it wasnt put on correctly in the cloth probably wasnt covered with real pool table clothfelt someone could have picked up some cheap.

      your cloth is not taut enough and is liable to be ripped!!!!

      Better get it rectified before you tear off the cloth the next time you play.. this will also affect your game.
