Did you know that
95% OF ALL POOL TABLE BUYERS
WILL BUY THE WRONG TABLE!
HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
Because I owned and operated two retail billiard dealerships over a 2
decade period
and we noticed how little most consumers
know about pool tables!
(see Author Page)
If you are on your way out the door to buy a pool table, you have
a better than 95% chance of making a mistake that could cost you
thousands of dollars. That's why this book was written. 95% of pool
table shoppers have no idea what questions they need answers for. But
you will after you read this!
If you're a serious pool table buyer, you need to read on down
this page, because I'm going to show you how to save a lot of money on
your new pool table and help you avoid making a big mistake in it's
selection,
NO MATTER WHO YOU BUY IT FROM!
Recently I was out shopping for good old American-made products to
buy for some family and friends and ended up going from one store to
another and one internet site to another and never found what I wanted.
I had done the same thing a few months earlier trying to buy American
made slippers and, again, I came away from the effort empty handed. I
just could not find any American Made products to fill my needs!
In these two examples, I knew what I wanted. I just couldn't find
either item. One manufacturer even had an address in Minnesota, but
through some exploration, I found that the product was made in a far
east nation, not American at all.
I think most of us know that products made in Mexico and China are
well short of the level of quality we all demand or, at least, should
demand! The News has been full of stories of products that are
dangerous to our health or are simply junk in a box. Yet most of us go
blindly forth shopping for the cheapest price and get exactly what we
paid for, junk or worse.
While a few of us will not accept those inferior products anymore,
many others of us keep right on going and spending money on products
that are worse than most of us could ever expect. I bought some
Chinese made twinkle light bulbs the other day and every single one of
them burned out immediately upon receiving electricity in the string of
lights. That's what I call a "Chinese Gotcha"! All I could do was
laugh at my foolishness!
Pool tables offered in America are full of the same issues, quality
vs. price. Chinese vs. American. Except Chinese pool tables don't
have to have a label that says "Made in China"! Why? Because assembly
is in your home, right here in America. They don't have to say "Made
in China" or "Made in Mexico". So buyer beware!
Even American makers of pool tables take many short cuts. They
offer a one year warranty and then run for the hills. We have to
remember that one way for manufacturers to increase their profits, is
to make products cheaper, often sacrificing quality and longevity. When
it comes to selecting a pool table, performance and longevity are
critical. If you don't know what to look for, you will never find it.
This book, "Pool Tables 101", will give you all the knowledge you need
to avoid a terrible purchase mistake. In these times, wasting your
hard earned money on a poor product is simply no longer acceptable. At
least it isn't for me and I hope not for you either. That's why this
book was written.
See Important Review by Matt Sherman, a noted expert, linked below!
Here are some comments by Mr. Sherman about this important guide:

"Pool Tables 101 contains... knowledge of pool tables not found
elsewhere--fabulous details on pool table values... a quick and fully
entertaining read... worth 100 times its cover price to anyone
interested in purchasing or maintaining pool tables."

Matt Sherman writes for about, a noted source of information about
the game of pool!

Here is what Jeff F. from Kentucky had to say after he read the
book:

"....... the book lets the consumer know what to look for in a well
built pool table as well as how NOT to get pushed around by a salesman
(by what questions to ask). If you're like me and want a pool table
that will last for years and years, this book is for you."
This guide is designed to inform you of all you SHOULD know before
you put down your hard-earned cash for a snooker, billiard, or pool
table. This information will convert you from a blind shopper to an
expert. This information has been hidden from us all for decades.
Imagine buying a new car and finding out later that it was actually
assembled in the back shop of the dealer, not the factory, and that no
one had ever tested the car. Pool tables are just like that. They are
completely assembled by the dealer in your home. The performance of
the pool table depends heavily on the quality of the assembly or
installation as well as the engineering and design and materials in
that table. Scary, right! And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
Some popular makers don't even make the parts well enough to go
together by even the most skilled technicians. The stretch pressure of
the rail cloth at time of installation, how the rails attach, what kind
of wood is used in the rail, what kind of rubber is used in the rail,
the thickness of the slate and the structure material of the frame and
rail assembly determine how the table will play and how long it will
last. And there's much more! Some tables are so bad that they will
never be able to play correctly. Could you spot those without having a
lot more information than you have right now? 95% of the buying
population can't! Chances are really good that you are in that 95%
right now, but I can put you in the top 5% in about an hour!

Because there's so much to know about these products, you really
need to read Pool Tables 101 before you go shopping. Doing so will
help you find the right product for YOU. This is your pool table
purchase, so make sure you get it right. With the value of your money
falling like a rock in this new down-turned economy, watching your
dollars is more important than ever. This is a condensed course to
becoming a smart consumer! You will know everything you need to know
to become an informed pool table expert and shopper. And I believe you
will also find it to be entertaining!
Knowledge is Power!
This is an easy read,
written for the novice consumer!
20 years of research in your pocket
in about an hour.
What could all this knowledge be worth to you? Thousands of
dollars? If you buy the wrong pool table, and there are many out
there, you will curse the day you did that and wonder why you didn't
take just an hour or so to learn first.
Pool Tables 101 is the most comprehensive
work available on this subject and took
20 years to compile.
You won't find this vital information anywhere else. Your table
salesperson won't tell you either, because they probably don't know.
If they did, they wouldn't tell you because most, if not all, of their
tables don't measure up.

"The novice or so-called expert seeking to purchase a quality table
needs to look no farther than `POOL TABLES 101', written by one of the
most knowledgeable experts in this field - Doug Walters, entrepreneur
and skilled technician."
"This well written narrative is all that a person needs to guide him or
her in purchasing a pool table. It is well worth the purchase
price." Nick Tacinas (Columbia University Graduate, Director of
Instructional Materials, Denver Public Schools, Denver, Colorado,
retired)
"Price is not a barometer of quality and quality doesn't have to
cost a fortune!"
Good pool tables should last a lifetime and they should play
wonderfully too. How a table is designed and the materials used in the
table as well as the installation techniques of your table are critical
to how well it performs and lasts. I'll show you the right way to
assemble and install it, because most installers don't know and you
will need to be watchful. I will also tell you how it should be built
because, if it's not made correctly, and most aren't, you will have a
terrible playing table. I want you to make sure that you are at home
when they deliver and install your new or used table. I'll also detail
for you what to look for in a Pool Table to make sure you get a great
playing table no matter what the price. There are KEY elements that
make all the difference in the world. You NEED to know these!
What is all this knowledge really worth? Hundreds or thousands of
dollars, obviously! It took years to extract it and learn it and
develop installation techniques outlined in Pool Tables 101. This
information is vital to your product understanding, but either others
don't know it, or just don't want you to know it. My best guess is that
they simply do NOT know!

Since the old Pool Table Technicians and Pool Table Makers
of Yesteryear went to the grave with their secrets and nothing ever got
written down, there is nothing to reference in books or publications
that have touched on this subject in the last 50 years. About 10 years
or so ago, a popular consumer publication, which shall remain nameless,
made an attempt at it and ended up with a bunch of misleading
information given them by someone in the business who, not
surprisingly, didn't know what they should have known. That's common!
Pool Tables 101 will clear the air and make you smarter than just about
all of them. Without it, you run over a 95% chance of buying the wrong
table. Not just the wrong table as far as I'm concerned, but wrong for
your needs as well. One of the biggest problems with this industry is
that seldom will you find a table dealer that will take you seriously!
I mean that the table's performance is something they think you are
not smart enough to identify. But after reading this book, you WILL be
and you will see just how important what I am telling you is. See
these excerpts below.
"A former friend of mine, God rest his soul, Mr. Willie Mosconi, hated
the stuff. (about nap-less fast cloth). He would say that he had a much
more difficult time controlling the ball with the super fast cloth"
"...no great table was ever made without at least three pieces of
slate, end to end, and at least 1 inch thick. Also, that all these
tables had what we call 'slate liners'."
"The rail cloth must be cut lengthwise with the length of the cloth on
the bolt. It must have the same warp for each rail."
Some pool tables today are potentially better than we have ever
seen. NOTE: SOME are! Just because a table is made in America doesn't
assure you of quality. Far from it! American made pool tables have had
lots of issues for a very long time, and that continues to be the case.
Even custom built or hand built tables suffer in this regard. In
fact, bad quality tables were INVENTED in America. Until consumers
wise up and demand better products, this problem will continue. It
just about puts me into tears when I think about all the people who buy
pool tables every single day of the year and end up with a table that
could never deliver the quality of play expected. Bad tables are all
over the market. Some are really expensive and most are not. I've
seen horrible tables with price tags in the tens of thousands of
dollars. I've also seen great tables at a fraction of that. To enjoy
your new table, it has to deliver a certain level of performance. Do
you know how to measure the performance of a pool table? Chances are
95% against you if you think you do! Even with a world class player
measuring the performance of a given table, it's likely that that world
class player will not be able to tell you WHY it plays so poorly. I
can and you may be able to as well after reading this book. Consider
yourself fortunate that you have found this resource!
(ORDER NOW)
Why are so many tables in the market today nothing more than junk?
Because many makers of pool tables don't understand how to build them
and also don't want to take the time to learn. In reality, a great
playing table seldom costs much more than one that isn't worth your
time. Besides, making a product cheap seems to be the American Way.
But, potentially, pool tables could last a lifetime as they did 100
years ago, not just 2 days beyond the warranty expiration date. If
built correctly they should play as well as any ever have. They should
be level and have a predictable bounce off the rail. That means bank
shot performance. THAT'S THE GAME and, without that, you have nothing
and have wasted all your money. Some of the best pool tables are not
anywhere near the high price point. Some of the worst CAN be. PRICE
DOES NOT INSURE QUALITY! But remember that cheap tables are exactly
that, CHEAP and are not worth your money. What you truly need to know
prior to shopping for that table is here in Pool Tables 101. It's the
only place you will find it and without this knowledge you WILL make a
several thousand dollar mistake. The cards are stacked against you!

The style of the furniture and color of the wood or cloth has very
little to do with this subject. In fact, it has nothing to do with it.
Those choices are yours and yours alone. This Guide is about the
MEAT, not the sizzle. It doesn't matter to me how fancy or how plain a
table is. What matters is how it plays. Isn't that what buying a
table is all about?
Perhaps I should have titled this guide as "A Consumer Warning"
rather than Pool Tables 101! It certainly is, but it is also going to
teach you what you absolutely NEED to know before you go out to shop
for that once-in-a-lifetime pool table. Let me offer you an example,
in the news recently, that exemplifies how poor quality of a product
happens at all price points.
The news was full of stories about which cars are most sought
after by Americans right now. Amazingly, the Mercedes C class was
listed as the number 2 choice for Americans. Well folks, I'm a car
buff, a past Mercedes owner of several of those cars and a student of
reliability in cars. The C Class Mercedes has one of the worst, if not
THE worst, history of reliability according to Consumer Reports. It's
also one of their top selling models. So, how is it so high on the
desired car list? Simple! Because people just don't take the time to
learn about products before they part with their hard earned cash.
We've all done that and learned later what foolishness that was. I am
sure that at least half the population of the world would rather go
through life with their eyes closed avoiding truths that could change
their lives for the better. It's been proven time and time again.
It's the reason Pool Tables 101 was written. I can't change the world
of pool table buyers, but I can help you avoid a purchase of what is
suppose to be a once-in-lifetime purchase of a luxury durable goods
item. As a side note, I suppose you are wondering how a car like a
Mercedes could get such a bad rap! In a word - Greed! In an effort to
make Mercedes cars less expensive to build and to satisfy the greater
need in the market for them, Mercedes of Germany, a number of years
ago, decided to cut quality corners and engineering corners in favor of
cost. Now they are trying to fix the problem they created. From the
beginning through the 80's, their vehicles were truly outstanding from
so many points of view. But today, they have about the worst
reliability ratings going and getting them serviced by the dealer may
take weeks to set an appointment, because so many are in for repair.
Waiting for several weeks to get your Mercedes serviced at the dealer
is the norm, not the exception.

Not all pool table buyer's guides are equal. "You get what you pay
for!" If the advice you receive is free, consider it's worth no more
than you paid for it. Everyone has FREE advice for you either in print
or otherwise. In my 67 years I have found that free advice is pretty
much worthless. With precious few exceptions, free has always
translated to worthless and if I followed that free advice, I made a
big mistake that usually cost me money or, should I say, wasted my
money. In addition, a great amount of paid-for advice fell into the
same category. It seems a lot of people today call themselves experts
and in reality don't have a clue, but they will charge you for their
ignorance anyway. This book was born out of a desire to set the facts
straight for you, the consumer. After 20 years in the retail business
of selling and marketing these products, the painful truth about the
knowledge level of all those customers is the motivation for this book.
None of them had any idea what they should have known prior to coming
into my stores. I do mean NONE. Amazing isn't it? My staff was
trained to teach our customers so that they could make an informed
decision. "Be prepared with knowledge and then go shopping." Not
surprisingly, many consumers don't want to take the time to learn and
appear to enjoy wasting their money in the experiment. How does that
old saying go? "There's a sucker born every minute?" If you put all
your faith in pool table salesmen to inform you, you haven't done
ANY homework. You will buy the wrong table. Guaranteed!
You have 60 days to evaluate this book and if you don't agree that
Pool Tables 101 has helped you to be a much smarter consumer and that
it has helped you to avoid a MAJOR purchase mistake, then simply let me
know and I will completely refund all of your purchase price, no
questions asked. That's a complete
money back guarantee!
and you have two months to request a refund. That's as good a guarantee
as you will find anywhere. Of course, there is always someone out
there who will take advantage of a guarantee like this and, after
reading this guide, demand a refund. This guarantee was not designed
for crooks. It is offered to honest people with good intentions.
How much is Pool Tables 101 worth to you? As I mentioned earlier,
it could save you thousands of dollars, or at the very least, hundreds
of dollars. Giving the knowledge and power to you the customer is
doing the right thing. Making you smarter than the average bear is what
it's all about. The offering of this book in Ebook form is new
following hard copy distribution for several years. Recently revised,
it's yours now for only $19.97.
