4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good pool table, September 13, 2009

This is a pretty good pool table. It's small enough so that it doesn't take up much room in your home but big enough so that it's not trivially easy to pocket balls.

To address another reviewer's concerns: The balls are a little small and this does mean that it's difficult to control english on the ball. Good position play is still possible though. The balls are pretty easy to get out of the pockets except when they're full (a pocket holds 7 balls). If you reach into the pocket with your palms facing the table (instead of away from it, which would be more natural), it's really easy to get the balls out. The reviewer must have had large hands or short fingers (no offense). To address her other concern, the balls aren't supposed to completely fill up the triangle (just like with the full sized pool balls and triangles); if they did, you wouldn't be able to remove the triangle without disturbing all the balls. What you're supposed to do is use your fingers to push the balls toward the front of the triangle and then hold them there gently while lifting away the triangle.

One thing to note is that there is no foot-spot or head-string on the playing surface and no markings on the rails. One more thing I want to mention is that I've had mine for a few weeks now and the felt around the pockets is already looking just a bit worn. I'm not sure if this is normal wear and tear or if we've possibly been scratching the felt with the cue (entirely possible).

Using the "Ghostball Aim" trainer I created and uploaded to Amazon(see customer image) is an easy and free way to improve without spending money on pool books. (You'll have to download the image and print it out to use it.) You can also cut away half (and a small semi-circle) of the object ball side and use it while playing without disturbing the balls.

Update: I forgot to mention that the pockets have a little hole on the bottom so that you can stick your finger in from underneath to push the balls up and make them easier to reach. Also, do yourself a favor if you buy/own this table (or any other mini-pool table) and get full-sized pool cues (sticks). It will feel more like real pool and help with your aim and stroke and ball control / position play. Get one with a smaller tip than the included mini-cues and you'll be able to control the cue ball better. One final word about the triangle: It is just slightly too big; when you push all the balls against the front, not all the balls will touch. I taped two pieces of cardboard (from a two-pack box of cereal) to one side with electrical tape and now it works perfectly.

Bought this for Christmas for the kids, ages 7 and 5. Very well built and sturdy...we bought it online at Walmart for only $19!!!! Also bought the air hockey table and really enjoy it too. That was also $19 from Walmart. Our kids and my husband and I really like the both tables, we played with it all day long.

When my grandson opened this he was so excited he ran and hugged me the hardest ever! When we played with it, it was for hours; his sister became involved and then some of his friends. They play with it constantly, never becoming 'bored' as with other games. Best thing I could have done!!!
