Full Description

SAM Bison Pool Table

 

 

Sam Bison Pool Table

 

The Bison is constructed with durable solid ply and aluminium extrusions making the table ideal for commercial environments. The aluminium extruded top rails hug the cushions along their entire length for maximum ball response and consistency. Available in various high quality unique finishes the Bison delivers ProActive cushion response on a true championship table with an electronic mechanism or contactless payment.

 

Commercial Grade Construction – 

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

Plywood construction gives the SAM Bison table great strength and durability, without excess weight.

Less susceptible to damp conditions, easier to repair when damaged and harder wearing at joints and fixings than the more commonly used MDF.

All top frame components are bolted metal to metal reducing movement and wear, and the frame fits more accurately to the cabinet.

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.

 

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

Simonis Cloth 

Simonis cloth is more commonly fitted on American Pool Tables and is very similar to Strachan 861 with a much faster playing surface. This hybrid cloth is made from both traditional wool and nylon to combine the benefits of both speed and durability. The choice of players in the modern era is leading towards napless cloths and Simonis is used in over 90% of the World’s pool tournaments, including the Mosconi Cup, World Cup of Pool, World Pool Masters, and World Pool Championships.

Aramith Pool Balls

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.
