    I would pay £1,000,000 to play on that (just kidding, but I would be willing to put 50p in the meter for a quarter of an hour)

        A gold table with a brushed gold texture on the playing surface.

            How about solid ice.

              I'd prefer natural granite.
              The same material measuring tables are made of.
              I am confused... Oh wait... Maybe I'm not...

                    It would have to come standard in green.
                    Surface would be 6' x 12' created by a molecular archiitect as a very light, strong, single, honeycomb composite with a microfibre rubber-like surface that responded to the balls just like 6811 except dimensionally stable, and impermeable to humidity and the elements for outdoor play.
                    The balls would look like Aramith Tour Pros but made of a non-phenolic resin magnetic material. And that's because I hate shooting balls tight against the rails. So no rubber cushions. A thin magnetic field generating perimeter would bounce the balls exactly equal and opposite to the force of the shot... and never, no matter how softly played, would the balls lay tight to the "rails".
                    For added speed challenge there would be an optional below the surface air generator as in air hockey tables but far more subtle.

                    Ideally this would cost way less in manufacture than a pro table, weigh far less and make the platform easily available worldwide.

                      Well yes, there could still be a cusion covering the new surface. Imagine the noise without one

                      The rest of what you wrote is not standard English

                      Which surface would be the easiest to play on? I suspect the dining table. Bad bounces galore on a concrete surface and a few cuts on players' palms
