Uneven pool table?

Question

my pool table is uneven. not the ground but the actual table. when i put the balls on the table most of it goes to the middle. is there any way to even it? thanks

Answer 1

It depends what type of table it is and how it was installed. If it's a slate table (either 1 piece or 3 piece) it can definitely be leveled. It's a bit tricky to do it yourself, but you can try shimming up some of the support beams. If the table is plywood or MDF (multi-density fiberboard, or something like that), the unevenness may be in the board itself and I'm not sure there's a solution for that. Best to have a table installer look at it and see what they recommend.

Answer 2

For the balls to be running to the middle,the bed must be bowed down in the middle.

Its not a cure,but the only thing you can do is lift the bed and put a shim (usually a beer mat) under it in the centre.

Although its not a perfect cure,its a big improvement in most cases.

Buy a new table thats straight as soon as you can.One with a slate bed.Not mdf.

If you're british,you can get a tournament table (only used for three days) from the tournaments at Reighton sands,cleethorpes or skegness for less than £600.
