Standard Victoria Cloth Finish Fitted with a Standard Victoria cloth, this model provides a smooth, consistent playing surface designed for regular and high-traffic use. It delivers reliable ball roll and strong overall performance, making it well suited to leagues, pubs, and competitive playing environments. Trusted Tournament Heritage The SAM Atlantic range has been used at the BAPTO Pool Finals for over 15 years, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most trusted and widely used English pool tables in UK competitive play. Designed for Modern English Pool English pool has evolved into a structured competitive sport played across national leagues and tournaments. The Atlantic Champion reflects this progression with professional engineering, modern styling, and tournament-proven reliability. ProActive Cushion System SAM ProActive Cushion System, Advanced Pool Table Engineering The SAM Leisure ProActive Cushion System is a precision-engineered design developed to deliver exceptional accuracy, durability, and consistently reliable ball response across the entire playing surface. Reinforced Aluminium Frame Construction SAM pool tables are built using a fully extruded aluminium top frame system, engineered for long-term strength and stability. All components are metal-to-metal bolted, reducing movement and wear while ensuring a precise, stable fit between the cabinet and frame. Precision Cushion Design Cushions are accurately profiled to match the aluminium rail and secured using a full-length support plate system, ensuring consistent performance along the entire cushion length. Standard 10mm bolt fixings sit within the extrusion, delivering even and predictable rebound response without the need for specialist tools. Error-Free Installation & Clean Finish The system ensures cushions are always fitted at the correct height, eliminating installation errors and removing the need for traditional metal cushion strips. This results in a cleaner playing surface and improved player comfort, especially during bridging shots. Integrated Slate Playing Surface The top rail assembly is firmly clamped to the slate bed, creating a fully integrated playing surface. This allows the entire table to be leveled as one unit for maximum precision and consistency. Tournament-Level Performance Elite players often compare the ball response to a solid steel-block snooker table, highlighting its exceptional professional quality. Proven in Competitive Play The ProActive system delivers one of the most accurate and consistent cushion responses available on any commercial or coin-operated pool table, making it ideal for both UK 8-ball and American 9-ball competition formats. Ply Cabinet SAM tables are constructed using high-quality plywood cabinetry, providing excellent structural strength and long-term durability without unnecessary weight. Compared to MDF, plywood offers superior resistance to moisture and damp environments, making it more suitable for commercial use in pubs and clubs. In addition, plywood allows for easier maintenance and repair if damage occurs, while also delivering stronger, more reliable joints and fixings. This results in a more robust and longer-lasting table construction designed to withstand heavy, regular use. Slate Bed There is no substitute for natural slate when it comes to achieving a perfectly level and consistent playing surface. Formed from high-quality stone and precision ground by SAM, each slate is carefully prepared and stored in controlled conditions to maintain stability and accuracy during installation. Top Frame / Slate Options Professional / Champion: The top frame is bolted directly to the slate, creating a rigid, unified structure that delivers a consistent, accurate playing surface with reliable cushion response and ball behaviour. Easy Level SAM tables are designed for simple and accurate levelling using only a 13mm open-ended spanner. The table does not need to be lifted, meaning setup can be completed easily without assistance. This allows for precise adjustments and improved accuracy when using a spirit level. Cushioned Ball Return The SAM Atlantic Champion is fitted with carpet-lined internal ball runs, designed to significantly reduce noise as balls travel back to the baulk end exit box, ensuring quieter and smoother ball return operation.

Delivery & Installation All pool table prices include full delivery and professional installation to your home or business premises under standard access conditions. Delivery arrangements are confirmed at the point of order to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process. Some locations may incur additional charges due to distance or logistics, including areas such as Scotland, offshore islands, Northern Ireland, Devon & Cornwall, West and North Wales, parts of Cumbria and Northumberland, East Kent, and London congestion zones. In these cases, we will always advise the most cost-effective delivery solution. Installations requiring upper-floor or basement access may require additional labour, which can affect overall cost. Access will always be assessed in advance, as sufficient room size alone does not guarantee installation suitability. In some cases, tables may need to be delivered in sections for on-site assembly, or an alternative model may be recommended depending on access constraints. Colour Options Victoria English Wool Cloth The Victoria cloth is a traditional wool-based playing cloth designed with a directional nap, where the fibres naturally lie in one consistent direction. This construction influences ball speed and control, offering a more classic playing experience. Widely used on UK-style pub pool tables and snooker tables, it remains a popular choice for venues seeking a traditional feel combined with reliable, consistent gameplay performance.
