Sam Balmoral Mahogany Slate Pool Table

SAM Balmoral Pool Table

The ultimate in luxury and accuracy for the English pool player. The Balmoral is finished in real wood veneers with solid wood turned legs, the warm sophistication of the Balmoral’s Mahogany or Oak cabinet belies its strength and the pinpoint accuracy of SAM’s ProActive cushion system.

The aluminum extruded top rails hug the cushions along their entire length for maximum ball response and consistency. A beautiful table to grace your home, tried and tested on the Professional circuit to provide the most accurate and consistent playing surface in English pool, ever.

Available in various high quality unique finishes (click here to see all available Balmoral finishes).

If you take your pool seriously, play on a serious table, play on a SAM Balmoral.

Commercial Grade Construction – 

The top frame is secured by bolts to the slate for the most consistent and accurate play field and cushion response.

The real genius of the ProActive system is in the cushion fit.

• Cushions are profiled to match the aluminium top and secured by a full length plate.
• Standard 10mm bolts fit snugly into the extrusion and give consistent cushion response along the whole length. The simple fitting routine needs no special tools.
• The cushion can never be fitted at the wrong height dispensing with the need for metal cushion strips that are unsightly and disturb the players’ bridging action.
• The top frame is clamped to the slate creating a contiguous playing surface that can be levelled as one unit for super accuracy.
• Top players have likened the ball response achieved to that of a steel block snooker table.

ProActive cushions provide the most accurate and consistent cushion response ever achieved.

Slate Bed Playing Surface – There is no substitute for slate when it comes to a level playing field. A natural material hewn from the great mountain ranges of the world, diamond honed to perfection by SAM, stored and prepared in just the right environment to ensure perfect level when installed.

Easy Precise Level – SAM tables are a piece of cake to level with just a 13mm open ended spanner. No lifting of the table required at all so no help required and greater accuracy can be achieved with your spirit level.

Quiet Ball Return System – Champion table feature carpeted internal ball runs to reduce the noise as ball return to the baulk end exit box. Ideal for not disturbing other family members or neighbours when playing in the evening.

Domestic and Commercial Set Up – Option to select the Domestic Free-play version (Balmoral Champion) denoted by the word ‘Champion’, ideal for home games rooms. Alternatively the commercial version ‘Balmoral’ is fitted with the option for an electronic coin mechanism or the latest technology in contactless payment which will display the pool balls with a window at the side and return the white ball to the top end of the table.

Cloth Colours & Accessories – Select from a choice of traditional Victoria (wool) or Atlas (speed) cloths as standard to compliment your table finish or upgrades available for the Hainsworth Smart or Elite Pro Cloth range. Comprehensive Accessory Pack included as standard with option to upgrade to the Deluxe Accessory Pack.

What Is An Aramith Pool Ball?

Aramith balls made by Saluc are considered to be the best quality pool balls available on the market today. Made out of pure phenolic resin instead of hard plastic, the balls are significantly more durable than standard balls found in pubs lasting up to 5 times longer. The phenolic resin material produces a more aesthetically pleasing finish with increased shine which stands out when used on pool tables and are more suitable for use in your home. The material used also reduces the likelihood of the balls fading, discolouring, cracking or chipping over the course of time. For over 5 decades, Aramith has lived up to its incredible reputation for producing the best pool balls and continues to be the most widely played ball by pool professionals and in competitions around the world.

Choose from a range of Aramith Balls as an upgrade including Red & Yellows, Blue & Yellows and Spots & Stripes.

(Note. Included with the Deluxe Accessory Pack)

See our full range of Pool Balls for some Special Coloured Aramith Pool Balls.
