Nottage Design Glass Pool Tables
Nottage Design billiard tables blend ultra modern styling with new technology. Australian Craig Nottage, creates glass playing surfaces in a re-interpretation of the classic pool table he calls G-1 and G-4. Nottage covered the toughened glass tops with Vitrik. The specialized Vitrik surface creates a ‘floating on air’ effect allowing the balls to glide smoothly and quietly while replicating the same rolling resistance of a traditional felt table. Unlike traditional felt, which undergoes wear and tear, a Vitrik surface will retain the same roll characteristics over its lifetime. (More images and a video after the jump!)
“Billiard tables have been made with basically the same materials and technology for hundreds of years. I’ve brought all aspects of the design into the current age of materials and technology.” – Craig Nottage

1. How does ball roll and ball speed compare to simonis cloth?
2. Are special balls needed or can I use my Aramith Belgian Centennials?
3. Can jump shots be performed without damaging the surface?
4. Is it optional to cover the surface with conventional cloth?
5. What type of rubber is used for the rails?
6. HAS THIS EQUIPMENT BEEN USED IN A REAL-WORLD SITUATION, I.E., SANCTIONED TOURNAMENT? If not, why not. If so, what tournament(s) and with what comments for and against?
7. Can this table be used as standard equipment in a pool hall?
