Billiard Pocket

Can you imagine a game of billiards on a table with torn, worn-out pockets? What a mess it would be with shot balls rolling out of pockets, through holes and onto the floor. A billiard table’s pocket is one of the most indispensable parts of a billiard table and should be replaced regularly as part of a maintenance plan.

Billiards pockets should firmly cuddle six (6) balls. Balls should be cushioned in such a way so that on impact from the entry of a new ball, it will not back fire balls. It is the first to succumb to the pressures from the unorthodox shots of amateurs to the unyielding shots of professionals.

Billiard pockets are usually made of dura-hyde, plastic, vinyl or leather. While billiard pockets can be replaced anytime, they need to be sturdy and securely fastened to the table when currently used. Leather billiard pockets provided by us are usually hand sewn into an iron core and come in a variety of styles and colors either to match the existing pockets (in case of selective replacement) of your pool table or answer the distinct taste of the proud owner.

A.E. Schmidt Company uses leather on various types of iron pockets, for instance Wenco pocket iron, Hollywood pocket iron, Moroccan pocket iron, etc. Check out with us the detailed list of available pockets. For speedy and accurate service the company recommends though that when placing an order of less than a set, the customer is enjoined to specifically mention whether the requirement is for side or corner pocket openings, as the irons for the billiard pockets vary for snooker and billiard tables accordingly.

A.E. Schmidt Company employs a unique combination of old and new techniques when sewing billiard pockets. The outside parts are sewn with a walking toot style sewing machine for a precise stitched cook while the interior part of the billiard pocket is hand stitched with heavy waxed curd for optimum strength. Labor to sew standard pockets is minimal at $75.00 per set, whether it’s the entire set being replaced or specific positions only. On pockets with gully boot or unusual pockets the labor is $150.00 per set.
