The fact of the matter is unless you are someone who is traveling all the time and are bringing your pool cue with you wherever you go, such as if you are a professional or very serious pool player, then you probably don't have much need for a pool cue case.Pool table

a pool rack is an intelligent move you can make which will make sure your pool cues stay in great condition whenever you're not using them. Considering the investment of a good pool cue a good pool rack is a wise decision.Pool table

Personally i prefer the ball returner system as its more convenient. If you are not a professional pool player then it does not matter where the table is made in only thing that should matter to you is that the table cloth is of good quality. Simonis pool cloth would be great.

Secondly trust me, if you are not going to play everyday eventually the table is going to just be sitting there collecting dust so again does not matter what brand it is. Not to mention when u want to sell it off you are not going to get even 50% worth of it.

So since you've decided you really do want a table, get whatever's cheap but see that it has good cloth.

PS: If you are eventually going to spend 4500 just drop into Hotshot and take a look at their tables, they may not be fancy but they have a good deal on second hand tables.

Can't decide.. is a Wiraka, China made table (with ball returner) good for 4500 or Riley (no ball returner) for 6500..?

Counting on your experience... :)

I'm also looking for exact same thing, Hot shot has 3 tables for 5500 second hand with new cloth and extras but they are horrible colour. Look like they belong in a euro trash nightclub. They have some very nice Brunswick copies brand new for 9500. . . .this is just out of my budget though. . .Let me know if you find somewhere else and I'll do the same. Budget is about 5000. . . .

Also forgot to mention that they have only a few second hand tables available for 5k in which they will replace the cloth and give u all the accessories free, balls and sticks and they will install it at your house as well.

Check out HotShot on airport road, they have the best tables in town, and if i'm not mistaken they are having a sale these days.

If you like to play pool join up with the Qatar Billiards group here on QL ;)

:) thanks MrElie..

I have found out that the base should be either slate or marble, heavier the better etc etc.. I have checked out Olympics sports & abv stated Villagio one but they both have 8 ft ones & not really good..

I was hoping that if there is a deal somewhere - when the clubs order theirs, would I get a deal through them?

Second hand but branded..?

Thanks & cheers!
