Default THE most AWESOME pool table

Line up fellas....they're in limited supply all the way from Australia!





Check out that table. Make sure to watch the vid. Here!

The price, you ask?

$30,000.

A steal when you see this sucker is $175,000!

Wow! It says that it plays just like a regular pool table

I would think you would have to hit it softer b/c there is no felt.

Interesting!

According to the video, there is some lining on top of the glass to make it play like felt.
Looks cool.

Very cool table for those who like ultra modern styling. Though, I'm not one of them.

It looks cool, but I'm skeptical.

Glass is an extremely fluid substance. I don't think that a glass substrate will stand the test of time. Let's face it, if you're gonna dish that kind of coin for a table, you want it to be a family heirloom.

And this Vitrik stuff that takes the place of felt/rubber...how will IT stand the test of time? Will it yellow? Will it hold up to spills? Sunlight? Cleaning? If not, can it be replaced and at what cost? The marketing:

Vitrik™ playing surface:

1. Is Transparent
2. Replicates the rolling resistance of a traditional felt playing surface.
3. Creates a stunning ‘floating on air’ effect as balls glide smoothly and quietly.
4. Retains the same roll characteristics over its entire lifetime.


What exactly is that lifetime? Could be three years. Could be 30.

Good points Jerry.....I did read that you need to replace the surface every so often just like with regular felt...I just don't know how often & at what cost.

I think it looks like it would be played by a guy that "smokes" those electronic cigars. And I'm not buying that "no felt" thing.

Looks like an Ikea'd pool table.

I wouldn't trust that surface regardless of how it's marketed.

If you want to see a really idiotic pool table (which I don't think the Nottage table is), looky.

The real question is if it is stable enough to throw some hot chicks on for a dance and "a little bit more."
