Mini billiards table weight and dimensions:
Your full BT 50 US kit weighs 7kg.
The table measures 12 cm high (the feet being 8 cm), 78 cm long and 53 cm wide. The playing surface is 67.3 x 42 cm.
The table's thickness is 7 mm.
To play comfortably, you need a minimum of 10 m².
PACK DIMENSIONS
Your BT 50 mini billiards table and its accessories come unassembled in a single box measuring 82cm high, 61cm long, 7cm deep, and 102cm diagonal. The pack was designed to be moved and transported easily, even in the smallest car boots!
Felt and pockets, find out more
The felt is grey to better match your interior and is not replaceable. The head string and 8 ball spot are marked to help you set up games.
The pockets can hold up to 4 pool balls (44 mm diameter). They have a 7.5 cm opening and a 7.2 cm depth.
Take your table anywhere!
Your table is light and portable. Easily move it from one playing area to the next thanks to the handle: from home, to the garden, to the beach and friends' houses. It was specifically designed to fit in even the smallest boots. And to make travel even easier, your cue splits into two parts.
Mini billiards table stability
The quality of your table is a priority: it should be stable and solid. If it's too thin (less than 3 to 4 mm), the table could sag when you lean on it to make a bridge, causing the balls to move and affecting your trajectory. Which is a problem because accuracy is key in billiards! The BT50 US mini has a thicker table with supports, preventing any accidental miscues.
Maintaining your billiards table
After finishing a game, store it under a bed or in a closet, away from moisture and temperature changes. Cover it with a sheet to prevent dust. Store the cue flat on your table or in a storage case/cover.
Why the cue tip is rubber
Before shooting, you would usually put a bit of chalk on the tip of your billiards cue for a better grip.
However, chalk is not included in your BT 50 pack. Why? Because the divided cue has a rubber tip.
The rubber tip requires less maintenance and keeps you from getting blue chalk on yourself! Nevertheless, it is not suitable for intermediate or advanced players that want to put spin on balls.
Tips for playing on your mini billiards table
If you want to set up the perfect conditions for playing and, most importantly, get a better feel for your table, we recommend placing your BT 50 on a table level with your hips. A dining table or desk also work perfectly since they're generally between 72 and 80 cm in height (which is the height of a "real" billiards table).
The BT 50 adapts to square tables (78 cm per side or greater), rectangular tables (78 x 53 cm or greater), and round tables (78 cm diameter or greater).
