Though I don’t even dare to try my hand at playing this grandiose styled game, I have always been in awe of this game that involves hitting the vibrant colored balls on a handsomely clothed table. The same royal aura oozes from the MartinBauer Tournament Table. Seriously crafted for the serious Billiards players, the MartinBauer Tournament Table is a 9 foot table. Recognized tables are typically 3.5’x7’, 4’x 8’ and 4.5’x9’ with the Play Area measuring twice as long as it is wide from the cloth covered nose of the cushion rubber to the opposite rubber. Enhancing its exclusivity, even the slate used in this table comes from Italy as Italian slate is considered to be the most superior for its geological qualities including moisture content and flexibility.


Touted to be “Super Professional” which means it has a number of imp advantages, the slate includes pockets that are hand finished, sections that are joined and matched to perfection, and a playing surface that is perfectly diamond gauged. It also features the highest quality K-66 rubbers from Artemis. Incorporating a new lighting technology called Plexineon from iLight Technologies, its opulence is augmented by the ambient lighting from below the table.

If you are bowled by this majestic Tournament Table, and plan to find a place for it in your house, then you will need a vacant room of 14’x18’ size at least. Available in a multitude of colors, you can select from 460 standard colors. Also their metal finishing is rendered as the most environmental friendly technology.
Using Iwan Simonis billiard cloth and leather pockets, you also get an option to compliment your table with a cue stick rack and a light fixture.

All this grandeur gaming table doesn’t come for a less grandeur price. The $36,000 tag includes the $1770 Tournament Rack but sadly excludes the Delta light spacelab series of $1200. Not done! Representing the synergy of high tech engineering and the grace and beauty of sculptural metallurgy, it is designed to equipment specifications set forth by the Billiard Congress of America.249695
