The SAM Balmoral Champion Pool Table is designed for serious players and casual enthusiasts alike, offering professional-grade performance in a durable, precision-engineered table. SAM tables with ProActive cushions have been the official choice at the Annual BAPTO Pool Finals for over 15 years—the UK’s longest-running, largest, and most prestigious pub pool championship.
English pool was originally developed as a bar game, incorporating the strategy of snooker into a smaller, more accessible table format. Over time, it has evolved into a respected sport with leagues and tournaments across the country, with red and yellow balls becoming synonymous with UK pool.
ProActive Cushion System
• Aluminium extruded top frame for durability and a secure fit.
• Bolted metal-to-metal construction prevents movement and wear.
• Full-length secured cushions for consistent and accurate ball response.
• Standard 10mm bolts ensure a uniform cushion performance across the table.
• No metal cushion strips—allows for a smoother bridging action and cleaner shots.
• Clamped top frame to slate, ensuring a perfectly level playing surface.
• Cushion response comparable to steel block snooker tables for professional-level accuracy.
Ply Cabinet
Plywood construction gives SAM tables great strength and durability without excess weight. It is less susceptible to damp conditions, more accessible to repair when damaged, and harder wearing joints and fixings than the more commonly used MDF.
Slate Bed
Slate Bed Playing Surface

• Professional/Champion frame option secures the slate with bolts for maximum consistency.
