Can you sit on a pool table while taking a shot?

No sharking! Contrary to popular belief, sharking has no place in billiards. Sit or stand away from the table when your opponent is shooting. Some recreational players even go as far as placing themselves straight in line with the shot, “accidentally” twitching in the middle of the shooter's back stroke.

Can you level a pool table yourself?
An uneven pool table will prevent accuracy in players' shots, and will allow the balls to roll to one side or area of the table. With a few items from a home improvement or hardware store, such as a carpenter's tool and some shims, you can level your pool table.

Do i need to reinforce my floor for a pool table?
It is a commonly thought that floors need to be specially strengthened to support the weight of pool tables and snooker tables. In fact, the actual floor loading over the area involved is very low. We do however advise that you make your own checks and do not assume that it will be ok.

What makes a pool table fast?
The balls, the rails, the cloth, ambient temperature, humidity, as well as the cleanliness of the balls affect the table's speed or the way in which the balls roll today. At times one player will say the table plays fast today another player may disagree.
