| SLATE |
 |
| 1. All Spencer Marston (SM) Pool Tables include
three-piece, one-inch thick slate with a three-quarter inch wood lining.
Tournament pool tables at events sanctioned by the Billiard Congress of
America (BCA) are required to meet these same specifications. 2. As a pool table manufacturer, we know that the slate should be one inch thick for durability and weight. The heavy slate weighs the table down so that the pool table is not easily bumped or moved. One inch thick slate is also very durable but it's also expensive and that's why a lot of companies sell billiard & pool tables with thinner slate. 3. Three-piece slate is mandated by the BCA and makes the table easier to ship from the billiard factory and to set up without damaging the slate and helps make the table easier to level. 4. Wood slate lining is an important feature that a lot of inferior slate pool tables don't have. The lining helps the slate fit into the cabinet snugly, it allows the felt to be stapled around the slate instead of glued and it makes the table play a little more quietly. We're proud to use wood slate linings that you would find in an American Heritage pool table or other more expensive brand. |
| RAILS |
|
| 1. The cushions are one of the most important
components of a quality pool table. All of our cushions are made from 100%
natural gum rubber. Gum rubber is a natural material that provides consistent
rebound and a long service life. All Spencer Marston (SM) pool tables feature
cushions made completely from natural gum rubber with out fillers or additives.
2. All Spencer Marston rails are made of solid hardwood. 3. All Spencer Marston rails are made with the use of a CNC machine which is the only way to achieve the consistency required for a high quality, uniform rail. At SM, every rail is the same. Because your table will have six rails, you'll be glad that they all act the same. |
| FRAME |
|
| 1. All Spencer Marston (SM) pool tables feature
metal on metal contacts. This is a very important feature that most companies
never discuss. Each screw that holds the cabinet together actually screws
into a metal insert that is placed in the wood of the cabinet. This means
that the cabinet can be taken apart and put back together many times without
wearing out the cabinet. Because the metal insert holes are drilled by a
CNC machine, the cabinet is assembled perfectly square every time it is
put together. If you ask a competitor about this, they may not know what
to say so prepare for a blank stare. 2. Unless the legs are extremely oversized, all Spencer Marston pool tables feature double interlocking center beams. This added measure of strength is expensive which is why very few competitors do it. Without the aid of NASA, it is easy to understand the benefits of two center beams. |
