THE EVOLUTION OF THE BILLIARD TABLE

Since the Noble Game of Billiards evolved from a croquet styled lawn game in Northern Europe during the 15^th century there has been astronomical changes to the cue sport table.

The innovations today see Billiards or Pool Tables being placed in Hotels to Living or Game Rooms, on the decks to even in Pools.

That’s right Pool tables in Pools.

The changing face of pool has been as much to do with creating various price points and adjusting to household designs, to bringing the game to the people, rather than the people to the game.

The greatest example of bringing the game to the people is the X Men Outdoor Pool table.

As the above picture shows, the X Men Pool table has brought a whole new meaning to Pool!

The tables currently hold pride of place on Hayman Island, Resorts in Las Vegas and Phuket.

“The tables are a brilliant edition to these resorts as they provide Patrons with something out of the ordinary, a talking point, which is what a holiday escape is all about,” Billiard Shop’s Luke Johnson said.

“Let’s face it there is nothing quite as soothing as relaxing around a resort pool and to have a seven or eight foot  X Men Pool table in or around the water is a smart edition to provide patrons with another avenue of leisure.”

The X Men Outdoor table is a true innovation in the Billiard Industry. This table has the great looks and amazing play ability. If you have a large terrace or deck and are looking for the perfect entertainment, the X Men Outdoor Table is exactly what you need. It certainly will impress your family and friends with the latest technology in billiard table making.

The Billiard Shop Outdoor Pool Tables, are made from the highest grade aluminium, electrostatically powder coated to protect against the elements. It is also made with special rubber cushions and outdoor billiard cloth that are both water and UV resistant.

The mind wonders where the next Billiard table innovation will take us. The Krenice is one such design that caters for the more space conscious consumer.

It is beautifully designed with the removable table certain to surprise any diner unaware the fine dining table setting is a Billiard table in disguise.

Billiard tables and equipment rapidly developed in England during the Industrial revolution of the 1800s as slate became the popular table beds around 1835. Ten years later Rubber cushions became standard after Goodyear discovered vulcanization.

By 1850, two to one dimension tables became the norm and billiard tables as we know it became what they are today.

While quintessentially how the game is played is unlikely to change, the designs will continue to wow.

Some tables push the boundaries of our imagination while the more traditional tables such as the Supreme continues to impress.

But for the general public just playing pool brings immense pleasure no matter what the design.

They do bring family and friends together and Billiard Shop outlets at Macgregor and Aspley in Brisbane, Bundall on the Gold Coast, Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Mackay and Townsville have a number of designs to suit your needs.
