Selected User Reviews For Playcraft Sport Bank Shot 40-Inch Pool Table
Because our beach house didn't have a game room, we bought this pool table to bring with us on vacation. We were overjoyed that we were able to do so. For the trip, it fit perfectly in the back of our minivan. It's surprisingly sturdy, and it has the same feel as a real pool table. The balls are nicely weighted, and two pieces of chalk are included. The pool sticks are light, but that's to be expected given their size; fun for adults, 5 year olds, and 14 year olds, I'd say that's a success! We didn't put the legs on because they would have made the table too high for my son to play on, but they would raise it to a comfortable height for adults if they were installed. This pool table is one of my favorites.
It's been a lot of fun teaching my five and seven-year-old boys how to play pool on this, because I'm not going to let them carve up the felt on a real pool table at that age. I used to work in a pool hall, and I want my children to enjoy it as much as I do. The pockets are unusually large in comparison to the balls, but this makes it easier for them to play. Although the flimsy netting in the pockets makes pulling the balls out a chore, I love the quality of the felt and the table's construction. The small balls are heavy enough to break and roll with satisfaction. These rails aren't going to help you perfect your bank shot. Overall, it's a satisfying experience for the whole family, as well as a useful practice tool for when they're ready for the real thing.
The pool cues [sticks] are completely warped, the ball rack [triangle] is too small/fits too tightly to actually lift off of the balls, and the cloth is sloppily stapled, causing excess to cling to the rails and pockets. I didn't expect real rubber bumpers in the rails or a perfect playing surface, but this is basically worth thirty bucks at the most. If it hadn't been a Christmas present to my 4 and 7 year old that they are fine with, I would have returned it. br>br>It's just not good quality and not worth the price. It comes with everything you need, and it may appeal to young children, but it's a letdown.
It's a lot better than the 12" ones that you see all over. It is possible to use full-size pool pool sticks. One disadvantage is that it does not come with legs to elevate it, so we purchased a small fold-up table to use instead. My ten-year-old son wants to play pool, but we don't have space for a full-size table. We haven't taken it down since before Christmas, and there are no plans to do so any time soon. br> The balls are much larger than the tiny 12" tables, but they are still smaller than real balls. The pockets aren't perfect (especially on the side), but they do the job. If you want to play on full-size tables, I would strongly advise using full-size sticks.
As an adult billiards player, I'm not going to lie: I wasn't a huge fan of this. The holes are too large, protruding into the table, and because my table was slightly tilted, they all ended up rolling to one side. br>br>However, the balls were well-weighted, it was well-packaged, the felt wasn't bad for what it was, and it is ideal for children. It was given to a friend, whose children are enthralled by it. If you're looking for a small table to entertain yourself for a while, this is a great deal, but if you're a more experienced billiards player, spend a little more for a nicer table. br>br>I feel compelled to make a statement about the firm. They are the reason I have given them a perfect score of 5 stars. This was a gift for my birthday, which was in the middle of the year. My boyfriend and I were unable to visit a pool hall during lockdown in April. They had sent me their mini air hockey table by mistake, and I was devastated that I wouldn't be able to use it for my birthday. The company sent the table as a replacement the next day after I informed them that the wrong item had been shipped, and that I would keep the air hockey table - which was a big hit and I'd recommend it to people of all ages. I’am extremely pleased with their solution and’strongly recommend this company 100%.
I bought this to pass the time during the pandemic, and it's fantastic! Arrived in a few days, appears to be well made as there were no obvious flaws, and the balls are smaller than a standard table but just as good. We didn't put the legs on because it's on our kitchen island, and doing so would have made it too tall for us to play with. So far, it's been a great distraction, and we see ourselves using it all the time. I'd like to see full legs available instead of just the short legs, so it can be a stand-alone item, but maybe we can make something ourselves. I would suggest it! It is not a slate table, so those expecting a'real table' should look elsewhere; this is for entertainment purposes only, not for professional tournaments.
Because I don't have enough space in my house for a full table, I purchased this instead so that I could practice during COVID. My package arrived completely assembled, with no missing or damaged components. The material used to make the balls and cues is of high quality. My only criticism is that achieving this level can be extremely difficult. You should be able to dial it in with the addition of a few coasters under the legs as needed.
I just received this after ordering it over the weekend. It's super cute and a good size, but I'm not sure what to make of the pool cues. They haven't been finished or painted yet. br>br>They've been sanded down a bit, but there are still splinters. I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen this way, and I'm not sure what I should do about it.
