I did not do either of these when my table was installed, as I was again skeptical (assuming the local guys were just trying to upsell), but after I took one medium-speed shot and indeed saw the burn mark form (the plastic coating overheats as the balls slide across the cloth), I immediately put those balls away, drove down to the shop that installed things for me, and bought an Aramith set ($150-250, depending on the set you choose). I also recommend upgrading the cloth to Simonis.

I will say that whatever table you get, you should first and foremost upgrade the balls - the cheap ones that typically come with the tables will leave burn marks on the felt. Assembling them myself was simple, but they would have hauled away all of the trash, which for me is easily worth $50. They also assemble the extra items (in my case, two billiards chairs, two pub stools, a pub table, and an 8-cue wall rack), for an extra $50, which I foolishly turned down. I got the same package as /u/ceyhancagatay, and I can attest to the price, service (installation), and quality.Ĭostco themselves only handle the sale the table is actually delivered to a local billiards shop who actually delivers and assembles the table for you. If you want to make sure to get the one with the best playability, and you can't test them before buying, then I would trust olhausen before the other brands. You may not even notice the differences between olhausen and those other tables. In terms of playability it might be fine. If looks are the priority the get the one that works best for your room. I don't know much about the other option you mentioned.
You will not see tournaments with top pros playing on American Heritage tables. Which doesn't mean they make bad tables, but it shows that they have a different focus. They actually refer to pool tables as 'a piece of furniture on which you play a precision game'. The point is, Olhausen is fundamentally a billiards company.Īmerican Heritage is fundamentally a furniture company. I'm not biased towards olhausen, I actually don't like that brand of table much. Here's Efren Reyes and John Schmidt playing on one. They're a semi-popular choice for home tables. And they support the billiards industry in general. It does not store any personal data.The general consensus is that Olhausen makes tables for serious players, tables which have been used in major tournaments.
