Via Furniture Fashion

Not enough variety? Here you can find another 75 pool tables.

My reactions:

Nice!

Cool in an indutrial sort of way.

Ooh, very zen.

Yes! my favourite.

Fun, but would the game play properly without a felt surface?

and ...

You're just an idiot.

The car one? Yeah. I though the same thing. You can't even gain access to that entire end of the table.

fuzzy balls ?

ZenGum · 05-30-2013, 08:26 AM

Nope.

Waxed.

What?

Hang on!
Is billiards another name for pool?

Otherwise where are the pins?

As a pool (billiards) player, I wondered the same thing.

Interesting reading about this table

I thought the pins on the table were for snooker? Billiards and pool mean the same thing in the US, and snooker is that weird other game that only cigar-smoking British men play.

Pins are for bowling, cue sports, billiards, pool, snooker, etc, don't use pins.

toranokaze · 05-31-2013, 01:39 AM

and lets not forget 8 ball , 9 ball, and those other fun money making games

BigV · 05-31-2013, 08:19 AM

thanks to HitTheLake's link, I learned that the bare glass surface requires their specially coated balls to play. it surely looks weird.

jimhelm · 05-31-2013, 11:28 AM

You said specially coated balls.

Sundae is referring to Bar Billiards.

What's the game that looks like pool, but the table is smaller and there are a bunch of obstacles sticking up in the way? Kind of like the round bumpers inside a pinball machine, but made of wood and rubber. I can't even find a picture because I don't know what to call it.

Edit: Kind of like what Beest just posted, but not quite.
