The playing surface of a slate pool table will give the best and truest playing surface and will not deteriorate over time, whereas an MDF base may warp slightly. Slate pool tables can be sourced at many sports shops or from specialist stores such as Home Leisure Direct.

Is slate board better or worse than regular slate for pool tables?

Weight is the primary difference, and playability is the second. The Billiard Congress of America has established rules for table surface regularity and deflection. A particle board surface cannot maintain the required standards. A slate table that is at least 1 inch thick has been determined to be the minimum surface that can maintain professional level regularity. If a material is found that is lighter than 1 inch slate and can hold up as well, it may be likely a new standard could develop. However, that material has not yet been recognized by the industry.

How do you transport a slate top pool table to another town on a trailor with out pulling the felt or slate out?

If you have a large flat trailer, you can use a pool table jack. These are designed to go under the center of the pool table, jack it up, and roll it. If you can't find one to rent locally, look for an auto transmission jack, which, with the use of strong boards, can serve the same purpose for less cost. The pool table can now be moved safely without disassembly. However, you will need a 36 inch doorway and 6 strong friends to assist in moving it through the doorway with damage, if this is in a house.
