The materials for the edges of billiard table compartments are generally divided into steel compartments and wooden compartments. A steel warehouse is one where the support behind the rubber edge is made of metal, while a wooden warehouse is one where the support material is wood.
The steel pockets of billiard tables are generally made of steel plates with thicknesses of 0.7 cm, 1.0 cm, and 1.2 cm, and are also classified into "I" -shaped, "T" -shaped, and "L" -shaped steel pockets. Currently, the most common ones on the market are 1.0 cm and 1.2 cm "I" -shaped steel pockets. The steel pool table has a layer of spring steel plate fixed between the pool side and the stone plate, which makes the pool side more stable, sturdy and durable, with great elasticity. The pool side of the table is less likely to deform after long-term use, and the sound of the ball going into the pocket is also clearer.
Wooden warehouse billiard tables were widely used in the early years. Most manufacturers used wooden warehouses made from a single log after processing. During the growth of the log, due to different exposure to sunlight and other reasons, the density of the log varies, which also causes the rebound force of the ball to be ineffective. Moreover, the elasticity of wooden warehouse billiard tables is relatively less than that of steel warehouse billiard tables It is prone to deformation and damage, especially in billiard rooms. When some customers lean against the billiard table, it will accelerate the rate of damage to the billiard table. Moreover, when the ball goes into the pocket, the sound of the Muku billiard table will be relatively dull.
Overall, steel library billiard tables are better than wooden library ones in terms of playing feel, service life and stability. Of course, the price of steel library billiard tables is also higher than that of wooden library billiard tables of the same level. If you are a billiards enthusiast and have high requirements for the billiard table, it is recommended to use a steel pocket billiard table.
