Are 1 piece pool tables bad?

I'm guessing you mean the play surface (bed). Many prefer 1 piece slate tables as they tend to keep a more uniform play surface, even if the supports become unbalanced - however they risk breakage if that happens.

Just as many will stand behind the 3 piece slate tables, as you can keep the slates even if the support structure becomes uneven (and not risk breaking the slate) - even though they are harder to get even IF they become misaligned. Slate is preferred (more so) over a MDF play surface - as MDF can warp with moisture or weight.

Do you have to take the felt off of a pool table when taking it apart?

Yes and no. Most 7 foot tables are made with a 1 piece slate (or other cheaper material), so the felt does not need to be remove. However, all 9 and 10 foot tables, and nearly all 8 foot tables use a 3 piece which requires felt removal and significant work to properly re-assemble.

Where can you see the multiplication tables for 1-100?

When I was growing up, we had to memorize the full set of multiplication tables from 1 to 12. Multiplication Tables are standard 1 to 12 (not 1 to 100). Students must learn the times tables for 1 to 12, before they can apply those tables for 13 through to any number.You can find Multiplication Tables 1-12 online or as charts for sale. Or, do what we did as kids: make your own chart and color or decorate the chart.


What is playing surface for Brunswick 8 and 9 ft pool tables?

All 8 foot and 9 foot tables have the same size playing surface. Brunswick 8 and 9 foot tables are 1 inch slate tables. The cloth varies but Simonis is often used on the Brunswick tables, and you can specify different grades or other cloth. The Gorina 3 cushion cloth is not legal for tournament play for 8 ball and 9 ball however as the BCA determined it is too fast to be legal.


What the best pool table?

There is no such thing as "best" pool table, as this is very subjective. Generally, you get what you pay for. The best pool tables have 1.5 inch slate and are extremely sturdy. The purists believe this must be Italian slate, and the cloth must be Simonis or Gorina. Regardless, the workmanship must be beyond criticism. There are custom manufacturers that can produce the "best" table for those that don't ask about the price first. And, there are many "best" pool tables that use the standard 1 inch slate. Falling into the category of best we find, in no particular order - Olhausen, Diamond, Golden West, Gabriel, Monarch, and Brunswick.
