You can rely on our skilled team for the precision needed to execute pool table recovery.
Our locally owned company, Wittman’s Pool Table Services, is often asked about the services we provide for pool tables and how they can help improve gameplay. Another common question we get from homeowners and business owners in the St. Louis, Missouri area is how pool table restoration and pool table recovery differ.
Pool table recovery is the process of replacing the cloth (or felt) covering the table’s playing surface and rails. The cloth naturally wears down over time due to friction, chalk, and repeated use, resulting in irregular ball roll and diminished precision. Recovery focuses on restoring the smoothness and responsiveness of the playing surface rather than completely rebuilding or refinishing the table’s structure.
Pool table restoration, on the other hand, may include repairing woodwork, re-leveling slate, replacing cushions, and even renovating antique hardware. Ultimately, recovery is a more targeted and cost-effective maintenance solution for getting the most out of your table.
Moving onto the gameplay side of things, proper pool table recovery can greatly improve the experience. Fresh, firmly stretched cloth makes balls roll more smoothly and consistently, increasing accuracy and total play speed. It also improves the aesthetic attractiveness of the table, giving it a more professional appearance and feel.
When called to address pool table recovery, you will find that we know which cloth types and grades best suit different play styles, from casual home use to tournament-level performance. Not only that, but our attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship gives you added peace of mind that your table is in the best hands.
