There really no upgrading, up grading would be nice, but it’s getting the right contractor to do job correctly. Poor job on even Brunswick gold crown results the same outcome.

yes sir the vast majority speak poorly of the tables,its the cut or angle of the pocket that is misaligned,this is olhausens trademark.. Get a Brunswick gold crown and there will be a world of difference their pockets are cut correctly...why would olhausen ,a pool table manufacturer,put pieces of ivory for signifying diamonds on the rail when the rail is same color as diamonds,you cannot see the diamonds from the other side of table..ridiculous

Perhaps a good start would be to learn who is responsible for what in the community in which you chose to live, and then go from there.

Of course, people who don't know anything about billiards are not going to complain about the tables. But, billiards is an extremely popular game in The Villages, especially among women who never played before moving here. I understand that The Villages Billiards Club has hundreds of members, and that the club has made attempts in the past to work with the Recreation Department to assist and improve the quality of the equipment and the billiards rooms. But, the Recreation Department has not cooperated. I just think that it is irresponsible to have about 150 pool tables in about 25 rec centers and to not see the need to engage any experts for advice and consultation in the management of this very expensive resource. My opinion.

Huh? The Villages Billiards Club represents hundreds of pool players, and they have tried, as a group, to work with the Recreation Department to improve the billiard rooms. The problem is that the Recreation Department management just doesn't care. If you have other specific information to dispute that, then please share it. But, I am explaining the situation that is common knowledge within The Villages among the pool players. Apparently, people on this thread just want to propose a totally contrary viewpoint without any specific information to back it up. It is easy to just make stuff up.

Someone else said it, can’t believe the discontent with those that complain. I’ve been playing pool since I was a child, in fact in college I majored in drinking beer and shooting pool same reason it it took me 6 years for a 4 year degree. I spent too much time in the rec center playing pool then adjourning to the pub. I’m not a pro player but the tables are more than adequate. Discontent? Yea I have some just by the fact I have a family situation that keeps us in the North most of the year and only few months in TV. You wanna talk about discontent I’ll trade places with you, come take care of this family problem that could go on for a few years and I’ll use the less than adequate pool tables.

I think many more Villagers who play billiards agree with you than the complainers would have you believe.
