Bumper Pool is a variation of billiards to play that you can add to your game room. In this type of billiards, there are no corner and side pockets for the balls to fall into. Instead, there are only two pockets which are located on the short side or “rails” of the table. In addition, the table comes with the bumpers consists of twelve.

What makes this version of pool intriguing are the bumpers on the table. Rather than simply hitting the ball to go in either pocket. The bumpers act as an obstacle to go in the pockets. It is very likely that one shooter would have to strategically plan to hit a ball in a way that the balls avoid hitting the bumpers. Or, he/she can use the bumpers as a combination of hitting the ball, then hit the bumper, and (hopefully), land in the pocket.

For this review, I have promoted a type of bumper pool that you can play where you can, hopefully, have the best experience in playing the game. It is called the Renegade Bumper Pool Table by Hathaway.

Reviews

There were 9 customers who purchased this type of bumper pool table. Of those 9 customers, the average rating was a 4.2 out of 5 stars overall. So, it’s not as high as I would like to have imagined. However, it was the only bumper pool table that I saw on Amazon that had the highest and the most ratings. That is how I came to the conclusion that I feel that this is a worthy product to promote on this site.

As for the positive reviews, there was one customer who stated, “it was relatively easy to assemble and position.” You have an option of installing this on your own or with several people. Also, for $134.95, you can have a professional install it for you.

As for the critical reviews, there were several who stated that the product is “very heavy” and “takes up a lot of space.” If you live in an apartment or a house where you want to place this in an upper level of your residence, chances are that you are going to need assistance in moving this product. Always make sure that there is enough “wiggle room” in a place to play on while using this table.

Thoughts?

This version of billiards is what I call a rarity. I don’t see many of these around as most people prefer the standard pool table where there are six pockets on the table and there are sixteen multi-colored balls including the cue ball.
