When the tables at La Hacienda were being recovered a man that I know who spent his life setting up and servicing pool tables met with the rec department people and showed them exactly what had to be done. I believe that he also offered to do the work at no cost.

He was told that these are only recreational tables and that it's not necessary to have them perfect.

The best tables in The Villages, by the way, are the old crappy looking tables at the Silver Lake Rec Center.

And I agree that the color of the cloth has nothing to do with anything. Excellent billiard table cloth is available in many colors.

And as far a snooker tables go, yes, the pockets are smaller, but so are the balls. Also the corners of the pockets are rounded making the pockets more forgiving.
