When combined with a high-quality billiard cloth, a slate bed gives the very best professional-standard gameplay.
Slate beds are superior to other playfield materials, due to their consistency, roll characteristics and precisely-flattened profile. Pure rock slate is mined and shaped, before being cut into table-sized portions and flattened by machine.
