Tim Stihl pool table???

[ImaPoolnut]

I've been watching the 1994 Roanoke One Pocket tournament and the commentators mention the make of the gorgeous pool table their playing on. It sounds like they're calling it a Tim Stihl table.

I've never heard of them and I find Google searches related to Tim Stihl pool tables but not one actual mention of the table, history, etc.

They're beautiful tables, kind of like a high end gold crown but with Diamond table features.

Anyone every hear of these tables before or any name close to what I'm hearing in the videos?

Here's one of the matches (Hall vs. Incardona) that features the table and they mention the make in the beginning of the match.

Thanks

KSteel or KimSteel. They are still in business. Made in Spain. They also make the Predator tables. https://sambilliards.com/en/k-steel-2/

Thanks for this. Kimsteel and Tim Stihl sound pretty close, at least I know my poor hearing is good enough to pickup "sounds like" names

I'll check them out, beautiful tables for sure.

Originals had steel frames and rails. New ones have wooden rails. Older ones played great but a lot mech's won't touch them. can be a real pia to set up correctly. Co. started in Germany then got sold and prod. moved to Spain.

Any parallels to the Clash Steel tables? Brian.

I played on Kim Steels with metal frames for years (all of Jim-Bob's 9 footers were such). They played well. No complaints. Tables were recovered regularly, but I do not recall any issues with them.

They are very similar, the Clash Steel plays really nice, a great table.
