3 SIZES FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Your BT 700 FR adjusts to 3 heights. To us, billiards is not restricted to a certain age group. This means, among other things, that the table should adapt to the player's heightYou can adjust the height of this table to:



- 70 cm, perfect for kids (8 and up)

- 80 cm, for adults. This is the standard height of a French billiards table.

- 90 cm, suitable for taller players or those who'd rather not have to bend down.

BED DESIGN

The bed is made from a medium density wood fibre composite called Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). This design choice makes the table light, flat, smooth, and durable. We drew inspiration from aeronautics (see Unique features) by adding stringers underneath the bed to further reinforce it, render it less sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, and help the bed withstand the weight it often supports during practice.

Unique features: stringers

In the design of longitudinal frames on aeroplane wings, stringers, coupled with the fuselage's ribs and frame, stiffen the structure to support pressure and deformations. Following the same idea, we have added metallic stringers and longerons underneath the bed. A reinforced frame prevents the drooping that occurs on tables lacking a good structure, including slate tables.

Your table's added benefits

Your billiards table includes sights (called "diamonds") on the frame for improved accuracy. The feet adjust to different surfaces and are metal. The stainless steel corners are reinforced and round for improved safety.

What play space do you need to play comfortably?

You have to feel comfortable to play billiards, and this largely depends, among other things, on the playing area. The best way to delimit this area is to have the length of a billiards cue (1.45 m) on each side of your table And you must provide for an extra 5cm for your stroke (the back and forth motion of the cue before your hit).

In a nutshell? You need 19.5 m² for the BT 700 FR billiards table (or 483 x 402 cm).

What is French billiards?

French billiards (also called carom billiards) stands out in that it uses a pocketless billiards table and three balls. Moreover, you always play with the same ball. Let us explain:

You start the game with one of the two white balls, which are differentiated by a marker (in some cases, one of the two balls is yellow). The goal is to use your ball to strike the two others. Each time you succeed, you score a point and can play again.

ARE YOU LEARNING TO PLAY POOL? OUR TEAM HAS SOME TIPS FOR STARTING OUT

Contrary to popular misconceptions, billiards is actually a sport! And an accuracy sport in this case.

Take your time finding a stable stance so that you are comfortable and capable of reproducing the same accurate movement.

Finally, rather than leaving it to chance, rely on strategy, accuracy, and success.
