Why does pool table felt shed fibers?
Friction. The movement of the rolling pool balls does no damage to the pool felt. However, the pool balls accumulate pool chalk that is very abrasive.

Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.
