SAM Balmoral Champion Freeplay Pool Table 6ft & 7ft

Description:

SAM English Pool Table – Professional Quality for Every Player

The SAM English Pool Table combines professional-level play with durability and precision engineering, making it perfect for both dedicated competitors and casual players. SAM tables featuring ProActive cushions have been the official selection of the Annual BAPTO Pool Finals—the UK's longest-running, largest, and most prestigious pub pool championship—for over 15 years.

English pool began as a popular pub game, adapting the strategic elements of snooker into a compact, more approachable format. Today, it has grown into a widely respected sport with active leagues and tournaments throughout the UK, and the iconic red and yellow balls have become instantly recognisable symbols of the game.

Features:

ProActive Cushion System

• Aluminium extruded top frame ensures durability and a secure fit.

• Bolted metal-to-metal construction eliminates movement and reduces wear.

• Full-length secured cushions deliver consistent and accurate ball response.

• Standard 10mm bolts maintain uniform cushion performance across the entire table.

• Absence of metal cushion strips provides smoother bridging and cleaner shots.

• Top frame securely clamped to the slate ensures a perfectly level playing surface.

• Cushion response matches steel block snooker tables, delivering professional-level accuracy.

Slate Bed Playing Surface

• Diamond-honed slate for exceptional flatness and precise ball roll.

• Slate stored and prepared under controlled conditions, maintaining optimal levelling.

• Professional/Champion frame option securely bolts slate in place for superior stability.

Easy Levelling System

• Adjustable feet allow simple levelling adjustments using only a 13mm spanner.

• Precise table balance achieved effortlessly, eliminating heavy lifting.

Cushioned Ball Return System

Delivery & Installation

We offer free delivery and installation to mainland UK, included in the price of your table. Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for delivery, depending on customisation and availability.

• Extended Areas: Deliveries to Central Scotland, the Highlands, Offshore Islands, Cornwall, and West Wales may incur additional charges.

Once your table is ready, our team will get in touch via email to arrange a convenient delivery date.

Delivery and professional installation will be carried out by our experienced 2-person courier team. Your table will be delivered to the ground floor of your property, fully installed, and precision-levelled on-site to ensure the perfect playing experience.

If you require installation above or below ground floor, this can be arranged for an additional charge. Please ensure that access to your chosen room is clear and that the table can be safely delivered through your space.

In some cases, restricted access may require us to flat-pack and reassemble the table in the room. This is not a problem, but we do recommend contacting us beforehand if you have tight stairs, narrow hallways, or other access concerns — we're happy to advise the best approach for your setup.
