Just like each and every room in one’s house requires its own furniture, a billiards room also {requires|needs| special furniture that is related to the game. The requirements are not much but should be selected carefully in order to give the room a nice and cozy look for the players to feel at ease. At the same time, it should have all the necessary furniture needed for the game. So let’s see what billiards Game Room Furniture comprises of. Billiard Balls are also very exclusive in its type.

The initial criterion is the dimension of the room. It should be big enough to hold the table; at the same time there should be enough space for the contestants to move about the table while playing the game. The room should also accommodate the accessories needed for the game.

The next important feature is the ambience of the room. To make certain the look and feel of the room, it should have proper lighting and décor. The pool board is made of quarried slate. It is bordered by cushions made of rubber. The top of the pool board is covered with an unusual fabric made of woven wool. A blend of wool/nylon is also used as covering known as baize. The color of the fabric is always green. The weave is extremelyessential as it affects the momentum, veering and deflection of the balls.

Next essential requisite of the game are the billiard balls. Billiard balls are very vibrant. They add color to the game. The colors make a sharp contrast against the emeraldhued billiard board. The shades used are yellow, blue, red, wine-red, orange, green and purple. The balls also come in combineddouble shades. The patterns include orange and white, red and white, blue and white, yellow and white and purple. The balls that come in one shades are called ‘solids’. The double-colored balls are called ‘stripes’. The balls weigh 5.5 to 6 oz. The ‘solids’ are given numbers 1-7 and the ‘stripes’ are given numbers 9-15. The cue ball is the sixteenth one and it is not numbered. The first player uses the white cue ball, while the second player uses either the yellow or the white dotted cue ball. The last-mentioned cue ball is marked by a black dot.

A curious detail about the billiards games telecast on television is that, for the convenience of the viewers, pink and tan colored balls are used instead of the purple colored ball and the brown colored ball. This is because pink and tan colors are easily discerned on television. Earlier the balls were made from wood. Then the clay balls came into being. In fact, ivory balls were also used by some contestants who could afford them. But they have been barred to prevent the hunting of elephants. A rack is there to hold the billiard balls. Then there are the ‘cues’ with which the contestants hit the billiard balls. Contestants use chalks to grip the cues during a game. So after each and every game the cues should be cleaned properly to increase their longevity. The use of chalks can be reduced if the contestants use ‘pool billiard glove’.
