Connelly billiard tables come with 3 pieces of extra heavy duty, 1 1/4″ thick, premium certified, high performance, solid poplar wood backed slates. (Excludes San Carlos and Kayenta which come with 1″ slates)
The extra 1/4″ of slate thickness increases the pool tables overall weight which improves resistance to a rolling pool balls kinetic energy. More resistance equates into an even more resilient and even more accurate rebound off the bumpers. It’s been known for a very long time now that slate backings made from solid Poplar wood secure the staples which hold the fabric / felt onto the playing surface area much better than any other material.
ICON K-55 profile cushions / bumpers come on most Connelly Billiards pool tables. These superior K-55 profile cushions are slightly larger than the billiard industry standard which is the K-66 profile size. (The Kayenta and San Carlos models come with the K-66 profile cushions)
All Connelly Billiards pool tables come with 4 bolts per top rail instead of just 3 which is the billiard industry standard. If 3 bolts per rail secure pool table bumper rails fairly well, then it makes perfect sense that 4 bolts will secure that same bumper rail 25% better.
The top rails are extra wide at 6″ to provide a wider platform which is needed for greater stability of your bridge hand when you need to place that hand on top of the rail.
1.5″ thick veneer cabinet. 8/4″ thick hardwood cabinet is available at an up charge.
