Ball return pool tables are a type of billiards table that combines the convenience of a drop pocket with the look of a traditional parlor style. This pool table has a series tracks and gutters running underneath the slate. They feed balls to one collection hole. These billiards can also be used for commercial or recreational purposes. They can be found in pubs and bowling alleys as well as other establishments where billiards is a very popular game.
Compared to drop pockets, ball return pools have a number of advantages. They are faster, as players can access all the pool balls from one place, rather than having to move around the table. Second, they allow for easier racking. Third, they give a higher level of sophistication to billiards. The design has a lower chance of blockages.
Players are more likely to see the balls because they are open to view. However, the ball return system is bulkier than drop pockets. They are therefore often used in establishments that require a coin-operated machine. These systems may also include a cue-ball separator.

It is branded with the company logo. They are also numbered so that the balls can be placed in a single place in the collection box.
