Unique Autosports Pool Table by Hurricane Custom Billiards

Taste is subjective, and one man's dream is another man's nightmare. Take for example this custom pool table. It was crafted by Florida's Hurricane Custom Billiards specially for Unique Autosports South, the Miami showroom of the purveyor of custom rides for Hollywood's finest. Since Unique's whips are all about big wheels and bling, Hurricane built this table out of chromed steel and mounted it on four giant rims with ultra-low-profile tires. They topped it off with black leather trim and a black felt table top, and mounted a custom lighting kit capable of reproducing 1000 colors, just for good measure. And while this may not be your proverbial slice of pie, Hurricane Custom Billiards is capable of crafting a table to suit your taste, no matter how outlandish.

The G1 Glass Pool Table

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Pool tables come in all shapes and sizes, but until recently the technology and design of different brands has remained fairly uniform. But a unique design coming from Australian industrial design student Craig Nottage is changing all that, and revolutionizing the way some look at pool table technology. Its transparent surface is the result of replacing the usual slate with toughened glass and topping it with a patented transparent resin called Vitrik instead of the usual felt. It supposedly feels nearly the same to play on as any other pool table, plus you get the sensation of the balls floating on air as they roll across towards the pocket. $25,000

I like it. What do you think?

Olhausen Waterfall Pool Table

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Forget the classic look of the green felt pool table if you are a pool player. There is something to be said for sticking with tradition, but that look is best left for a bar or pool hall because you can do far better, design-wise, for your home. The Olhausen Waterfall Pool Table is geometric and modern, made of Veneer Oak or Maple with a parabolic base and a thick table top, with black diamond rail sights, leather pockets, and framed, diamond-honed slate. It measures 7ft, 8ft, 8 1/2ft & 9ft. Price: $8,600.
