This is when the cloth starts creating little balls of fuzz. “Pilling” is another frequent intruder on your enjoyment of a pool table felt. If this hand movement over the felt causes it to move or results in bunching, you can be sure that gameplay will be affected.
If you feel a coarse, stubbly texture, it’s a sure sign that your felt isn’t playing optimally. The best way to check is to run your hand over the felt. If you play frequently, you may also become desensitized to it slowing down over time. Signs of wear aren’t always that obvious to the naked eye. It’s not always evident when a pool table’s felt needs to be replaced. No matter the quality of cloth you’re using – it’s susceptible to wear. Chalk-covered balls rolling at high speeds over the cloth for years will result in a general degradation that will affect accuracy and speed. A spilled drink or a dropped cigarette (occurrences not uncommon while playing pool) pose an equal amount of risk.Įven those of us who are as careful as possible and treat our beloved tables with the utmost care will still see standard wear-and-tear. No matter how careful you are, jabbing a sharp stick at it dozens of times per game can result in accidents.
