Full Size Snooker Tables

the Supreme and the Grand Duke Full Size Snooker Tables

You have to admit it, playing on a traditional full size Snooker table for the first time in a long time is a challenge for the most skilful of players.

The same can also be said in reverse. Playing on a smaller sized table presents a whole lot of other challenges when you’re more accustomed to a full size snooker table.

At 12ft x 6ft and 10ft x 5ft, the Full size is most certainly a majestic looking thing and it is natural to think of your favourite World Snooker players such as Australia’s Neil Robertson, when simply just seeing one.

You realise just how good these professional players are right from the break on a table of this size.

It’s why the traditional full size snooker table remains as popular as ever in households right throughout Queensland and Australia.

Billiard Shop store locations in Aspley, Gold Coast, Slacks Creek, Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba and Townsville are your experts when it comes to the eight-leg tables – the Supreme and the Grand Duke.

Which of the full size snooker tables is for you will depend on the size of your room.

The Supreme Traditional Pool Table is a sight to behold with an ageless constructed frame and 8-inch stylish fluted and turned legs from solid hardwood. It’s the same way they were constructed over 100 years ago.

An impressive feature is the invisible brackets which are secured into the rail while the rubbers are wrapped around the pockets to English standards.

The sliding rails hide the bolt heads. The supreme rails are bolted directly into the slate and also screwed into the build-up. The combination of the bolt and the screw results in an exceptional and consistent bounce.

*This is important to note as some manufacturers only screw the rails into the build-up. Over time this screw comes loose and makes for an inconsistent bounce.

The competition-grade directional cloth stands out and is great to play on. In regards to “looks” you do have the choice of a high-sheen 2-pac lacquer finish or a low-sheen satin.

The 12ft Supreme Traditional Full Size Snooker table has five pieces of 1 ½ inch thick slate while the 10ft Supreme has 5 pieces of 1 ¼ inch thick slate. The slate is pinned together to ensure a perfectly true playing surface.

It’s why this billiard table is described as unique and unmatched in design and construction.

The other major player table is The Grand Duke Traditional Snooker Table which is one of the last truly traditional tables on the market.

The finest hand-selected hardwood timber is used in the traditional constructed frame with Mortice and Tenon joins throughout the table.

The 10” turned and hand fluted legs are eye-catching with a distinctive component a sliding cover flange to hide the deluxe adjustable foot.

Other leading features include flush-mounted pocket rails and steel-backed cushion rails which only a few tables on the market can boast.

Finishing off the full-size Grand Duke Traditional Snooker Table is the Strachan 6811 cloth which is recognised as the best Billiard cloth in the world.

Many tables have tried to copy the Grand Duke but the reality is that nothing is as good as the original which is how all Championship tables are built today.
