Hathaway Maverick 7-ft Pool Table – Billiards & Table Tennis

Two things separate the Maverick: K-66 gum rubber cushions and a complete 16-ball set. Most combo tables at this price point use EVA rubber cushions, which are softer and less consistent. The Maverick's K-66 gum rubber is the standard profile for professional tables, delivering accurate, angle-true rebounds on every rail. The full 16-ball set means you can rack and play immediately without buying anything extra. The two-tone black-and-silver design with silver edge accents on the panels is also a genuine visual differentiator in this category.

K-66 is a cushion profile standard — the shape and compound used in professional billiard cushions worldwide. The "gum rubber" material is more resilient and consistent than EVA foam rubber, which softens over time and produces less predictable rebounds. K-66 gum rubber delivers consistent angle-true ball response on every rail contact, which is what makes position play and bank shots work reliably. Finding K-66 gum rubber on a combo table at this price point is uncommon; it's typically a feature of dedicated billiard tables.

No. The Maverick is a 2-in-1 pool and table tennis combo — it includes the pool table and the blue table tennis top only. There are no seating benches and no dining conversion surface. For a set that includes storage benches and a dining top, see the Hathaway Newport, Logan, and Park Avenue combo sets.

The blue 2-piece table tennis top sits directly on the pool table surface — no tools or fasteners needed. Push the two halves together using the 1/4-inch wood alignment pins built into each panel, attach the regulation net to the ABS posts, and you're ready to play. To switch back to billiards, lift both panels off and store them. The conversion takes under a minute in either direction.

The Maverick's playfield is 5/8 inch thick — the same as the Bristol and a step below the 3/4-inch playfields on the bench-equipped Newport, Logan, and Park Avenue models. For recreational and family play, a well-made 5/8-inch poly-sealed CARB-certified MDF surface delivers consistent ball roll. The K-66 gum rubber cushions do more for play quality than the extra 1/8 inch of playfield thickness would.

The Maverick's L-shaped legs are formed by combining a left leg panel and a right leg panel at each end of the table, creating an L-shaped cross-section rather than a simple post or pedestal. Each leg assembly is 29 inches wide and 23.75 inches tall. This geometry provides lateral stability that keeps the table from rocking during hard break shots. Four independent 3.5-inch ABS leg levelers — one per leg — let you adjust for uneven floors.

Per the official Hathaway spec sheet: corner pockets measure 5 inches across the top upper edge of the cushion; side pockets measure 5.5 inches. Both are standard tournament proportions for a 7-foot table. The black ABS molded drop pockets are aligned symmetrically in the rail openings and do not protrude into the playing surface.

The playing surface is 5/8-inch poly-sealed CARB-certified MDF — not slate. Slate is found on commercial and high-end home tables at significantly higher prices and weights. For recreational and family play, the Maverick's poly-sealed MDF playfield delivers consistent ball roll. The poly-seal coating protects the surface from moisture and wear.

The table is 84 inches long by 46 inches wide. For standard 57-inch pool cues, you need adequate clearance on all four sides to extend the cue without the wall intercepting your stroke. A room of approximately 13 x 16 feet or larger is commonly recommended for a 7-foot table with standard cue clearance. If your space is tighter, shorter cues are available separately from billiard suppliers.

All tools needed for assembly are included in the hardware pack — a hex wrench is the primary tool. No additional screwdrivers or power tools are required. Hathaway estimates approximately 60 minutes for assembly. Two people make it easier to handle the table body and leg panels. The owner's manual walks through each of the 21 components.

The Maverick ships with everything needed for both pool and table tennis: two 2-piece 57-inch hardwood pool cues, a complete set of sixteen 2.25-inch poly-resin billiard balls, an ABS racking triangle, two pieces of chalk, a table brush, the blue 2-piece table tennis top, a regulation nylon net and ABS posts, two paddles, and two table tennis balls. All assembly tools are included. You can play both games immediately out of the box.

Both are 2-in-1 pool and table tennis combos at the same price point, but they differ in cushion type and a few design details. The Maverick uses K-66 gum rubber cushions; the Bristol uses EVA rubber. The Maverick has a silver laminate rail and silver edge accents on its black panels; the Bristol has a dark cherry melamine finish with a standard black rail. The Maverick includes a blue table tennis top; the Bristol has a black top. The Maverick's playfield is 5/8 inch thick; the Bristol's is 3/4 inch. For buyers who prioritize play quality, the Maverick's K-66 cushions are the stronger choice. For buyers who prefer the warm look of dark cherry furniture styling, the Bristol offers that aesthetic.

No. The Maverick is designed for indoor use only. The MDF construction and laminate finishes are not rated for outdoor conditions. Moisture, humidity swings, and temperature variation will cause warping, swelling, and delamination over time. A climate-controlled game room, basement, den, or dry indoor space is the correct environment.

Use the included table brush to sweep debris toward the pockets after play, always brushing along the grain of the felt and never across it. Keep drinks and food off the surface. A cover protects the felt from dust and UV fading when the table is not in use — especially important for red felt, which can show sun fading over time. Replacement 7-foot pool table felt in red or other colors is widely available from billiard suppliers.
