No matter how much you play pool, the table should be level. The table may need to have its frame or braced in order to hold it in place. It doesn't matter if your pool table is leveled by a professional or amateur pool table leveler, the goal remains the same: to enjoy the game as much possible.
The first step is to measure the height of your table using a carpenter’s ruler. It is a simple tool that will allow you to locate the highest corner on your table. If you don’t have a carpenter’s level, you can measure your table’s balance with a piece made of glass or marble. Although it may sound more complicated than it is, it's worth it.
