2. Technical Specifications & Table Structure
● Cabinet, Legs, & Levelers:
• Cabinet (Table Construction): Expertly crafted from premium imported North American Oak combined with high-density Catalpa wood (often referred to in regional manufacturing specifications as premium Asian pestle or eucalyptus-family hardwoods)
• Robust Support: The Xingpai S101-12S does not rely on basic leg levelers or shims. Instead, it utilizes Xingpai's proprietary, patented Multi-Point Leveling System integrated directly into a heavy-duty internal steel frame.
• The Steel Frame Foundation: The S101 features an internal steel chassis built over the wooden legs. This steel frame acts as the true leveling platform, completely neutralizing any minor flexing or warping of the hardwood base.
• Multi-Point Micro-Adjustable Bolts: Rather than just adjusting the table from the feet, the S101 features an array of precision-threaded leveling bolts spread across critical junctions underneath the slate:
• Strategic Placement: The exact positions of these leveling nodes are mathematically mapped according to World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) tournament protocols to ensure perfectly uniform ball roll across the entire 12ft canvas.
• Table Legs & Sub-Frame: Constructed using dense imported Oak selected for its immense load-bearing capability, resistance to warping, and straight-grain aesthetic.● Top Rails & Cushions:
• Material: Manufactured using specialized solid hardwood treated with advanced stabilization tech to ensure anti-collision resiliency. It is designed to never warp or flex when bolted down against the heavy 65mm Manganese Ssteel Plates.
• Rubber Cushions (Specially Treated Rubber Dampening): Cushion rubbers are top-quality UK Northern Rubbers with excellent and stable rebound.
• Leveling Tools: The contact tips of these leveling bolts are capped with a proprietary, high-density treated rubber. This dampens micro-vibrations from ball impacts and prevents metal-on-slate wear.● Table Slate:
• Playfield: The Star World Championship Tournament 12′ snooker table has a 50 mm A-Grade slate honed with 7-core technology, (1 Set 5 Pieces) with a tolerance of less than 0.05 mm. The 2-inch slate thickness ensures a flat and consistent playing surface, critical for professional and competitive play.● Cloth / Felt:
• Option: S101-12S with Strachen No10 west of England cloth or Strachan 6811 cloth for tournament play.
• Color of Cloth: Green Color● The Heating System:
The heating technology built into the Xingpai S101-12S is arguably its most critical competitive feature.
• 6 Smart Heating Panels: The table has 6 ultra-thin graphene heating panels fixed directly underneath the slate bed. This ensures the entire playing surface is heated evenly with no cold spots.
• Fights Humidity & Moisture: Professional wool cloth absorbs moisture from the air, which slows down the balls. This system dries out the cloth completely to keep the table in perfect playing condition.
• Makes Balls 25% Faster: Makes the surface smooth and fast with minimal effort.
• Digital Control Screen: A small, hidden touch-screen controller lets you set the temperature and automatically adjusts the heat based on the room's humidity.● Drop Pockets:
• Material: Pocket irons are brass and thick, durable chemical-free bull leather.
• Resin-Hardened Caps: The pocket openings and rail transitions are coated in a high-density, impact-resistant resin finish to prevent chipping when heavy Aramith balls are slammed into the pockets.
● Finishes & Customization
• Surface Finishes: The striking look of the Xingpai S101-12S comes from a combination of industrial automotive metallic paints, real gold leaf accents, and high-wear protective clear coats. Because this table is designed for high-definition television (TV) broadcasts under intense studio lighting, the finishes are engineered to be completely anti-glare while maintaining a luxury aesthetic.● Versatility & Conversion:
• Usage: Perhaps the world’s best snooker table. The Star World Championship Tournament 12′ snooker table is the official table of the snooker world championship tournament.
