14.1

I know humidity has a pretty big impact on how tables and balls react, and I was wondering if there was a standard Relative Humidity % that pool halls try to maintain. I know furniture makers like to see there products kept in rooms with 40% to 60%, for instance, but that is a really big range.
 
Most of 'em won't even install Smokeeters for their own health (and employees...and customers...)!!

I don't see too many owners being concerned w/ the humidity level.

35% to 45% is the human comfort zone. Works well in pool rooms. Piglit is correct though.
You want to see how much humidity can affect the table, balls, cue, hands, and comfort, go to Orlando in July. Everything sticks to everything.

don't they heat the big snooker and billiard tables to control moisture for a more consistent roll? It would seem pretty easy to control it to a certain range in a room w/ a/c and central heat. I just wondered what I should try to keep my pool room at home. right now its around 50%

This is so important I carry a humidity guage with me where ever I go. That is why my slate is heated on my two home studio gold crowns. I sometimes run the air conditioner in the winter to lower the humidity. I'll do anything to lower the number. Humidity is my enemy, my worst nightmare. When it gets up, balls throw funny. :D
 
Well... i guess I gotta go order a dehumidifier. Humidity here in the Philippines is always in the high 90's.

lol!

i am only affected by humidity if the pool hall has no a/c...if its too hot, my positioning play is a level below my current standard.
