Pool table law suit!

You realize that you are posting this on a web site filled with people who would spend thousands of dollars on a round wood dowel with a 13mm leather dot at the end that they use to push a round plastic ball around with.

Well, my cue was only $175 but I did pay $30 for one piece of chalk (which I found was not usable for me).

Speaking of chalk, I assume it is forbidden on the glass table since the chalk would do horrible things to the glass top. What I'm really curious about is how the balls stop rolling. The company claims the same rolling resistance of typical pool cloth. It's not clear from the videos.

At the risk of being hunted down like a dog by angry men with thousand-dollar wooden dowels, I question their brain-to-dollar ratios as well. :grin:

:outtahere:

Edited to add before I get beat up (:)): I don't question people's intelligence when they spend a lot of money on something that I wouldn't. The value of everything is subjective and I have no right to judge someone because they spent $1000 or $100 or $19.95 on a pool cue. My initial "more money than brains" comment was a knee-jerk reaction to someone spending a decent years salary on a novelty item. Personally, if I had that much extra bank, I'd damn sure try to make SOMEONE ELSE'S life a little better with it.

Too clear. The balls rolling down the visible ball return are amusing for about 10 seconds. I would describe the table as a splendid novelty but not suited to play pool on.

I didn't notice any kind of warning in the sales brochure on the company's web site that there is an issue with normal balls (or, presumably, chalk).
 
It seems like there is either a film of some sort on the bed or on the balls, but from the video it looks to me like it plays slooooww. The cushions seem dead too.
