Your pool table needs to be leveled regardless of whether you play often or not. It might be necessary to frame your table, or to brace it to ensure that it is in place. It doesn't matter if your pool table is leveled by a professional or amateur pool table leveler, the goal remains the same: to enjoy the game as much possible.
With a carpenter's degree, first check the level of your table. It is a simple tool that will allow you to locate the highest corner on your table. A piece of marble and glass can be used to measure the table's balance if you don't own a carpenter level. This may be more difficult than it sounds, but it's well worth the effort.
You can also check the level of your table by using a smartphone level app. These are available on all smart phones and can check the level in your table. Although they aren't as precise as a carpenter’s level, they can do the job.

Other ways to check the height of your table are to use shims. Shims are a thin, tapering piece of wood. They come in a variety sizes and are available at hardware stores as well as carpentry shops. You can use them to adjust the height of your pool table so that it has a perfect playing surface. Shims can be used for raising the legs or leveling the table.
A marble is another useful tool for pool tables. You can use this to test the level of your table, or you can use it to see if your pool table is skewed towards one side. But, it is not a good idea to do this by yourself. This can cause damage to the pool table. You can call a pool company to repair your table.
To determine if your table is tilted in the right direction, you might also consider a marble roll. This will help you see the direction the balls roll in, and can also tell you if your table's level.
You might consider the self-leveling system for pool tables. These tables are not for beginners and will cost the same as a new table. They're very simple to set-up and should take less than 30 minutes. A ball driver is also included.

Follow these steps for the best results. Also, you might want to download the compass app on your smartphone. You can use it for both Android and iPhones to measure the level of your table. You can also check the table's level using a carpenter’s tool. This is a vital part of pool table maintenance.
