Predator Apex Pro Slate Bed American 9ft Pool Table

Experience championship-level play with the Predator Apex Pro 9ft Pool Table

The Predator Apex Pro Slate Bed American Pool Table is a 9 ft regulation‑size American pool table developed in collaboration with SAM Leisure, combining robust construction with precision playing characteristics. It features a double‑density carbon steel frame designed to provide structural stability and support accurate levelling, helping the table maintain a consistent playing surface.

The playing surface uses a 25 mm three‑piece precision‑ground slate bed, supporting level ball roll across the entire table. Flush‑fitted K55 Pro Speed cushions deliver consistent rebound response, and the pockets are shaped for predictable ball entry with foam padding to reduce noise and limit rebound effects.

Finished in an ultra‑black matt Italian laminate, the table resists fingerprints and glare, giving a sleek, contemporary look. Standard speed cloth comes in multiple colours, with premium upgrades available. A full accessory package, including balls, triangle, cues, and chalk, is supplied. Professional delivery and installation are included, with typical lead time around 21-26 business days.
