A beautiful table designed to grace your home while delivering professional-level performance. The SAM Professional English Pool Table has been tried and tested on the professional circuit, offering the most accurate and consistent playing surface in English pool. It has been used in the Annual BAPTO Pool Finals for over 15 years, the UK’s largest and most prestigious pub pool championships.
English pool was originally conceived as a bar game, borrowing elements from snooker but adapted for smaller tables suited to British pubs and bars. Today, red and yellow balls have become synonymous with the game, which has evolved into a serious sport with nationwide leagues and tournaments.
ProActive Cushion System
SAM Pool tables feature aluminium extruded top frames, reducing movement and
ensuring durability. The real innovation lies in the ProActive Cushion System, which ensures unmatched ball response.
• Bolted metal-to-metal construction eliminates cushion movement over time.
• 10mm standard bolts fit snugly into the aluminium frame, providing consistent ball response.
• Cushions are precisely aligned and secured with a full-length plate.
• The top frame clamps to the slate, ensuring the entire playing surface is levelled as one unit.
• Players compare the ProActive cushion response to that of a steel block snooker table.
Slate Bed
There is no substitute for slate when it comes to achieving a level playing field. The natural slate, sourced from the finest quarries, is diamond honed to SAM’s exacting standards before installation.
Top Frame/Slate Options:
- Sports/Commercial: Hinged top frame for easy access and maintenance.
- Professional/Champion: Bolt-secured top frame for the most consistent and accurate playfield.
Easy Levelling System
• Level your table in minutes using only a 13mm open-ended spanner.
• No heavy lifting is required.
• Ensures pinpoint precision for tournament-standard accuracy.
Cushioned Ball Return
Champion models feature carpeted internal ball runs, reducing noise and ensuring smooth ball return to the baulk end exit box.
