I'm thinking of putting these under the feet of my pool table to keep it from skidding on my sealed concrete floor. Is it too squishy?
2014656
Well, it isn't squishy at all. I used it under an outdoor geothermal compressor on a concrete slab. We had to control vibration but not let the compressor move around at all (due to geothermal tubing connections from under the ground - which could not withstand horizontal movement of the compressor) So, I think they would be fine under the feet of a pool table. They are only about 1/4" thick - so that should not bother the pool players.

I put these under an air conditioning compressor outside. They work but are nearly flat. I think a pool table would be too heavy for these.
2014658
To avoid skidding something as heavy I Would consider other more sturdy material, like rubber. This one is too soft. would compress completely under that weight

Read the weight rating at 300lb min... to 600 lbs. Sorbothane wont give after its settled with weight or pressure. It will flatten to some extent, but little. It has a reinforcement on the top and bottom. If you had raw sorbo, no, it would be too squishy, more thick gel-like as well. It's pretty cheap compared to the investment of the pool table.

Probably too much weight for them but that would help keep them in place. I have them under my turntable to eat up vibration. They aren't slippery so may work for you.

I put these on a card table that I made. It measures 3 feet x 3 feet and while you can play cards and board games on it, it is NOT something you can really lean hard on. It's stable, you can put a glass on it and will handle some basic weight with a little bit of give/shaking. I played ping pong with friends in the past we we would get very competitive and lean/dive forward onto the ping pong table occasionally. I can't really see these legs handling that kind of playing very well.Maybe if you are doing a repair and need to put these legs on ONE corner, it will work, but try to find something stronger.

Maybe it "could" be if one had very strong and wide decking surrounding the pool and sufficient water depth, but I don't think it should be. Personally I wouldn't feel safe climbing it unless it was bolted into concrete or stone.

Sure, but i would get 1 or 2 of their pool mats to put down. You need something that wont absorb water and allow for drainage plus be soft on feet.

I would think so but it will help if you have some weight on the table, to prevent the table from moving off the squares - i use them under my couch on marble floors and the couch never slides at all

If you are looking for something light and not very durable I would say yes. I have not personally used them for that but if the process you use works on standard ping pong balls it would probably be the same on this one. I hope this helps out.

I think the density of this mat is really good. Yes, it is thick and cushiony, but I don't feel as though it's too "squishy". Hope this helps!

I use them primarily on grass but I stay away from concrete. They are a thrill and we have tons of laughs. They are very slippery if wet so best to keep dry. Highly recommend u r gonna have lots of fun.

We spread about 10 bags of play sand underneath the pool every year to keep things level and keep small rocks from breaking through (once filled the pool is heavy!). Hope this helps!

I didn't use anything under it. The foot pads are pretty well designed to avoid damage. My former in-laws have the next size up and have had no problems even with all the neighborhood kids playing in the pool.

I got these for an uncle who was in a retirement facility and has now passed away. Their floors were mostly carpet & linoleum. They didn't harm the linoleum, BUT if the user needs a lot of support and puts extra pressure on the handles, I can see where you might be concerned. They do better and last longer than the tennis ball scenarios, and for sure are a lot more stable than other options. THey are relative cheep, you might just have to try them and if they scratch stop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I would think this should not pose a problem. Mine are in our basement on concrete. But they latch together nicely so they should easily be just as steady and stable I would think. However, I would consider positioning them against a corner wall and/or setting a heavier piece of equipment (a weight bench?) on them so they do not slide.

I only used these tiles to cover a small table top. I would think they would be very slippery when wet. Coveri g old tiles? I don't think that would work.

I would say, "No" - but I'm overly cautious. We have hard floors too, so I put some of those play mats underneath for extra padding.

sure - a pool table is heavy - it would compress the foam and in a very short period of time - the compressions would actually hold the table in place... (i.e. it would be harder to move it because you'd have to lift it up out of the indentations. You would never be able to slide it out...) I have my elliptical on the same type of foam - just not as pretty as the wood colored mats - and its not that noticeable - unless you want to move the item at a later date... once indented to that degree over time - I dont think it will ever float back up. I use the pretty wood colored mats in my main room - so I can hang out on the floor an be comfortable.

Yes- these should be great! These are thick and soft, but should stay on a gym floor without much slipping. The basketball can also be bounced on the spot without sending it all over the place.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.
