Hathaway Billiard Table Brush
Shipping & Delivery
Overview
A 10-in billiard table brush with a solid hardwood handle in cherry finish and nylon bristles. Nylon bristles move chalk dust, ball debris, and loose felt fibers off the playing surface without scratching or compressing the felt weave. At 1 lb and 10 in L x 3 in W x 2 in H, this is a single-purpose tool: use it to brush the felt from cushion to center after every session. Ships small parcel at 1 lb. No warranty.
Compatible with all billiard table felt types. Rated for ages 3 and up.
Construction
10-in solid hardwood handle in cherry finish. Hardwood provides the stiffness needed to apply consistent pressure across the full brush width without flex that would create uneven cleaning passes on the felt surface.
Nylon bristles move surface debris without cutting or compressing felt fibers. Natural bristle brushes can leave oil residue from the bristle material on the felt surface; nylon leaves no residue.
10 in is the standard billiard table brush width — wide enough to clear a meaningful surface band in each pass, narrow enough to control direction and avoid hitting cushions during edge brushing.
Handle shape is ergonomic for a pushing motion across the table — the grip profile positions the hand above the bristle centerline for even pressure distribution across the full brush width.
Cherry finish on the hardwood handle coordinates with mahogany-finish game room furniture. The dark finish also conceals the chalk dust and fine debris that accumulates on the handle surface over regular use.
At 1 lb, the brush stores easily in a bench storage compartment, cue rack shelf, or accessory drawer without displacing other equipment.
Buyer's Guide
Billiard felt accumulates chalk dust, fine ball debris, and shed fibers during play. Left on the surface, these particles get ground into the felt weave by ball contact and accelerate felt wear. A felt surface that is brushed after every session lasts 2 to 3 times longer than one that is never brushed — and provides more consistent ball roll throughout its life because the fiber surface stays clean and upright.
Brush direction matters: always brush from the cushion toward the center of the table, then brush lengthwise toward one end pocket. Brushing back-and-forth scrubs debris deeper into the weave rather than moving it toward the pocket. At $16.99, a billiard brush is the lowest-cost maintenance investment available to extend felt life. Ship weight is 1 lb — small parcel, no freight scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I brush the felt?
After every session. Push from cushion to center, then lengthwise toward one end pocket. Never brush back-and-forth.
Is this compatible with all felt types?
Yes — nylon bristles are safe for all standard billiard felt types including wool, nylon, and blended polyester.
Is a warranty included?
No warranty is included.
Does this ship by freight or parcel?
Small parcel — 1 lb.
Can I use this brush on the pool table rails too?
Yes — the brush can be used on both the playing surface and the rail felt. Use lighter pressure on the rails to avoid disturbing the rail felt staples or cushion contact points.
Will this damage my felt?
Nylon bristles move debris without cutting felt fibers. Use a forward pushing motion — not back-and-forth scrubbing — to avoid raising the felt nap.
