Anti-Fatigue Mats Game Changer

I recently played for a number of hours on a table with anti-fatigue mats in the playing area.

What a difference in terms of how you feel after many hours of play. Given it may not look the best but for marathons it makes a big difference and is a nice upgrade for anybody with back or knee problems with very little cost.

A good quality anti-fatigue mat costs between $10-$11 per square foot. Depending on the table size you are looking at between 150 and 200 sq ft if you want a seamless mat surrounding the table. Definitely a $1K-$2K investment. But if I had a home table and extra money to burn, I would do it.

I got an anti fatigue mat for working in the garage more so with colder weather and instead of lower back issues I got annoying upper/middle back issues from the mat itself when I've never had anything but lower back issues. If you want something with memory foam look into buying some Skechers Go Walk 3 Gogamat shoes, just search for "Skechers 53980". These are the same thing as a thick mat but much more affordable/practical, very spongy and comfortable too.

Anti Fatigue Mats

I got the cheaper ones from Harbor freight and put them all around my table to fight the effects of the concrete floor. I have to say, the work wonders for your back.

The best thing is you can buy a few at a time and add on as you go to help with sticker shock. I probably spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 or so with coupons i am always getting.

I was looking to see how far back the “last page went” and it isn’t that far, I guess threads get archived or something but I figured I’d bump this because these shoes look awesome. I just ordered a pair and will report.

I’m a stander, at work I have a stand up desk thats always up, at home I play pool mostly but even when I eat or watch TV I am still standing and swaying back and forth so my feet take a beating. Comfy pool shoes might make long term, locked in play even better and more mesmerizing.

I can promise you these mats are the nuts when you're running 75 miles offshore in a 32' SeaVee in a pissy swell. Never really thought about putting them around the table. Great idea.

Just buy one mat, and make moving it part of your pre-shot routine!

I'm occasionally on a concrete factory floor all day. A decent pair of gel insoles inside a decent pair of shoes is as good as a mat and a lot more cost effective (and portable). As an added benefit, you keep the advantage to yourself instead of giving it to your opponent as well. My home room has wood flooring, not as bad as concrete but easily manageable with decent footwear.
