Pool tables typically use cloth made from a blend of wool and nylon.  

The main types include:

1. Woollen Cloth: Durable and felt-like, suitable for home tables, but slower in play.

2. Polyester Cloth: More affordable and easier to maintain, though it may lack quality.

3. Speed Cloth: A nylon-polyester blend for fast play, often used in professional settings. The choice depends on your playing style and usage.

Hiring professionals is the best option for a safe and secure move.

3. Play Surface: opt for slate for better durability and consistent play.

4. Felt Quality: Higher quality felt improves gameplay and lasts longer.
