Oh yeah, I always wondered where all those Kings and Queens in London get their tables. Every time I see one of the many Kings and Queens of London playing pool I just ask myself what it would take to get a table like that.
This guy is a shmuck, the cue ball is slightly smaller than the other balls, so when they pass the TRACK (not the subway system) the cue ball drops through
United billiards tables, as well as several others, use an oversize cue ball, including some of the older Valley tables. Most went to steel core cue ball so the cue ball would be the same 2 1/4" as the object balls.
No Way!!! I just left from a work trip in NY and downloaded a bunch of random videos to watch on the plane ride home. My hotel was around the corner and i saw this place in Google maps a few days ago. Wanted to check it out before leaving - so trippy that i was literally just walking around the showroom several hours ago! 😀
Absolutely. You'll never see a quality 6x12 table where the balls are collected at one end. That's a stubby little 4x8 or 4.5x9 bar table for blind people to play on. Its also noisy every time you sink a ball. If you can't be bothered to pick up the balls out of a few holes you have no business playing.
That guy probably gets paid a little over min wage doing what he does sadly. I’ve seen it a million times. Guy’s been in the business for decades making them money and gets paid shit, but he’s probably okay with it

They're referring to coin-operated pool tables that separate the cue ball from the numbered balls. By the way, there are actually 3 different ways to separate the cue ball. 1) Magnetic. There is a magnetic strip on the side of the gully (not "subway"). The ball has a ferrous exterior. As it passes next to the magnetic strip, the ball is pulled into another track. 2) Over-sized cue ball. All of the balls pass through a metal box. There is a spring mounted on the underneath side of the top of that box that diverts the over-sized ball to another track. All of the rest of the balls pass straight through. 3) Weighted cue ball. In this system, all of the balls pass over a scale that is calibrated to remain in the up position for the smaller numbered balls. When the heavier cue ball passes over the scale, the scale lowers and the cue ball is diverted to another track. **BONUS FACT** An over-sized cue ball will work in a table that is designed for a weighted ball; since, the over-sized ball weighs more than the rest of the balls. It will also work in a magnetic type table. As the cue ball gets to the area where the magnetic strip is, the slightly larger diameter of the ball causes it to roll into the cue ball return gully. Magnetic cue balls, however, will only work in magnetic-type tables and weighted cue balls will only work in a scale-type table.

Your words have a comical bite to be sure but you're being a little harsh. I do believe they are trying to keep alive a tradition of craftsmanship that is rare these days. I just wish they would focus more on the table and playing than the furniture but I suppose the money is in how stately they can make it look. So few people that have pool tables at home can actually play.

@@solomale2156 No it isn't. However, as lead moves past a strong magnet (same with copper etc) it generates a magnetic field. Stop the lead or magnet moving and no magnetic attraction.

Oliver is correct. Whilst not "magnetic" as such, it does interact slightly with strong magnets. Still, makes you wonder why they don't just put an steel slug in the cue ball.

That's the secret of these pool tables: they answer the questo question, "magnets, how do they work?"
Pool table to dining table is brilliant. Especially for a 6x12 which almost nobody seems to have space for.
A molding convertible would be even more so. Wonder why no one has dared yet.
