Billiard Accessories
There are many billiard accessories that go along with a pool table. Billiard accessories are designed to protect your investment, and to give you as much enjoyment as possible. Remember you can also replace the pockets, rubber cushions and cloth on your billiard table when they wear out.
Adhesives and Glue
Adhesives and glues for pool tables are helpful if you are refelting your billiard table. The glues and adhesives will keep your cloth securely in place. They cost approximately $15 to $20 for a can.
Pool Ball Racks
Pool table racks are an important accessory to any pool table, as they are used to rack the balls at the start of every game. Most racks are triangular in shape and are made out of wood, acrylic, brass or plastic. There are different billiard racks for different billiard games. They range in price from approximately $5 to $30.
Pool Ball Tray
These plastic trays hold the pool table balls in place. They cost about $5.
Pool Table Brushes
Pool table brushes protect your cloth and keep the dirt and dust from deteriorating your billiard table. If you brush your pool table regularly it will roll straighter and faster and your hands will stay clean while you play. Most billiard table brushes are made of nylon, natural fiber and wood. The fibres are usually nylon or horse hair. They cost approximately $5 to $20.
Pool Table Spray Cleaners
Canned pool table spray cleaners are used to clean your pool table cloth and also work well on cue wraps. Some people prefer these to billiard brushes, as brushes may just move the dirt and chalk around instead of actually picking it up. Pool table spray cleaner turns into foam and lifts the dirt up from the pool table so that you are able to remove it with a cloth. Billiard spray cleaners cost approximately $12.
Pool Table Hooks
Pool table hooks that attach to the bottom or sides of the pool table and are used to hold bridges and racks. They are usually made of brass and cost approximately $5 to $10 each.
Pool Table Spots
Pool table spots come in handy if you are replacing the cloth on your pool table, or if your spots are becoming faded. They can be bought in rolls or in cans and cost approximately $5 to $10.
Pool Cue Chalk
Pool cue chalk is used on the tip of your pool cue to stop it from slipping when taking a shot. It is made in various colours, allowing you to match the chalk to your cloth color. Pool cue chalk can be bought in cones, cases or boxes. It costs approximately $5 for a box and $25 for a case.
