For bar boxes, how about installing a ball holder on the side of the table for balls 10-15 when you're playing 9-ball?
How about making ball returns much quieter and faster?
How about tables having a leveling meter that tells you when the table is too far out of tolerance and needs to be re-leveled?
How about making table leveling easier? (i.e. turning a few bolts to adjust the slate with a tool that is already attached to the table and a built in level)
How about suppliers making a few different sets of rails (recreational, pro cut, commercial, etc.) for the same table and having them easily swapped out with a few bolts?
How about having a trap/filter within the ball return which collects things that are dropped in the pockets and can be easily cleaned out without taking the table apart?
How about a chalk holder ledge that sits below the top of the table and out of sight?
How about a lighting system within the table that doesn't require a separate light above? (this might be a stretch lol)
How about a way to merge the magic rack into the slate? Similar to a tapped table without affecting the ball roll. For example, it could be magnetic and when you are racking you turn on the magnets until the balls are set. Then you turn off the magnets and break. Obviously a magnet wouldn't work because there is no metal but some sort of idea similar.
How about cloth that comes with a line on it telling you exactly how far to stretch it?
How about a clamp system on the table which holds the cloth rather than glue or staples?
How about a holder on the side of the table for a break cue? (similar to the bridge holder)
How about better maintenance manuals that come with tables?
How about some sort of built-in break cloth feature?
How about a scoring system to replace pennies under the rails which spectators can easily see?
How about a better location for the coin mechanism so we can all stop banging our knees on it? :wink:
How about a better coin mechanism in general where you don't have to force it in with both thumbs?
How about a chalk board on the side of the table where players can sign up to play next?
How about a ball return system that instantly cleans the balls every time they come through the return? (This would be amazing!)
How about a small but extremely effective and quiet vacuum on the side of the table for cleaning the felt within seconds?
Lots of ideas here. Some good some bad. I'm just spit-balling. I suppose you never know what the future holds
How about actually figuring out how to perform just 1 of your ideas.....now, OR in the future...LOL
