About Pool Tables

getting older asked:


I picked up a table for free, and thought I might replace the felt to make it look better. I have the table disassembled already and it would be easy. Can I use felt from a fabric store for the table or does it have to be ‘pool table’ felt?

I am re felting my pool table but my slate seems to have “stains” on it, like circles from drink glasses and other smudges.

Many people enjoy the great feeling of playing a good game of pool (or billiards if you really want to sound fancy). Rounding up a good game can be difficult though. You will either have to travel to a bar and pray that you can find someone who’s interested in a good game, or you can buy a table and constantly pester all of your friends to play a game. Don’t you wish there was some way you could experience pool through some sort of digital or electronic medium? Of course you do. Did you ever think of Internet pool?

Many different Internet arcades offer great flash games that can be played for free. These include pool games. You can usually find some format that will let you play your favorite game in a very convenient medium. The controls are excellent and allow you to easily get the experience of playing a good game inside the comfort of your own home.

You may think that playing over the Internet will cause the experience to become shallow or less interesting. I won’t lie to you. You may miss the feeling of chalking up or the good fun of actually hitting the ball. The difference isn’t too great though. You will be able to play with the same thought and skill that you’d normally put into a game. You’ll still get to think out what your next shot should be, and figure out the angles to pure perfection. Basically, you get exactly what you’d think you’d get in the terms of control. Everything is virtual, so you can plan out the spin, power, and direction of each shot with a few clicks. You just won’t actually be hitting anything.

The mode will be the biggest thing to get used too. There are some places that will allow you to have multiplayer games. This means that you and another person somewhere in the world will actually take turns and play out an entire game. You can’t be sure of finding this though, and you may just have to rely on a score-based system to get your pool fix. This isn’t too bad once you get used to it though. They basically just score you based on how well you played. So, if you take 100 shots to sink the eight ball, you won’t do well. Land a perfect break and sink them all, high score paradise. Pool is really pretty easy to score. Even more complicated forms, such as nine-ball, won’t upset the system much. A well built flash game will be able to handle just about anything that is thrown at it to reward a good player with the right score.

If you are a big fan of pool, you should love to play one of the online versions of it. It is just a lot more convenient. You don’t have to go anywhere, you don’t have to buy anything, you don’t have to reset the table, and you can switch games easily. If you can get past some of the limitations of playing online, you should be able to really kick back and enjoy yourself.
