03 / ABOUT PROLINE

A name from
the American
game room.

ProLine appears in historical American dealer records for furniture-style billiard tables.

The name also appears on cloth and on separate table ranges. For an existing ProLine table, its model label, construction and condition offer a more useful starting point than the name alone.

What does the ProLine name refer to?

This guide focuses on the American ProLine billiard table name found in historical dealer records. The same name also appears on billiard cloth and on other table ranges; the model label and manufacturer details matter.

Are the tables listed here made by ProLine?

No. The Similar Products section contains GoSports, RACK and Hathaway alternatives found on Amazon. These models use engineered-wood playing beds and should not be treated as equivalent to a particular ProLine slate table.

What should be checked on a used ProLine table?

Start with the exact model and playing-bed construction. A table installer can inspect the bed, frame, cushions and pockets, and assess the work needed for dismantling, moving and leveling.

How much room should be left around the table?

Measure the playing surface, then allow the cue length on each side. A 78 × 39 inch playfield with a 58 inch cue needs roughly 16 ft 2 in × 12 ft 11 in of clear space. Doorways, columns and furniture can reduce usable cue clearance.

Does ProLine cloth identify a ProLine table?

No. A cloth listing identifies a covering material, not the manufacturer of the table beneath it. Match the cloth size and installation requirements to the actual table.

What should be compared before choosing an alternative?

Compare the playing-bed material, assembled dimensions, room clearance and setup needs first. Then check whether cues, balls, benches or conversion tops are included in the selected variant.
