Connelly’s first shop was a rent-a-garage in Tucson where he made, sold and sometimes slept on billiard tables.
He worked diligently engineering and perfecting his ideas for a better table. In spite of pressures to make them faster and cheaper, Connelly refused to compromise. He began to incorporate materials and processes that made the table better. Much better. Chief among his principles was the belief that a better table was one that was structurally superior with thicker panels, stronger beams and wider rails.

While maintaining traditional design concepts, Connelly refined his craft and his knowledge. Today, every Connelly table adheres to the original concept and can proudly claim the Connelly name. An important part of the Connelly difference grows out of the company and its Southwestern roots. A clean, uncomplicated, honest approach—with just a little bit of cowboy swagger. Plus a firm commitment to quality and just plain doing things the right way. You’ll see this heritage built into every Connelly table. You’ll see it in every important detail. And you will definitely feel it when you play on a Connelly. It’s even reflected in the names of our tables, which are evocative of the Southwest, like Coyote, Prescott and Cochise.

Today, Connelly dealers are found across the U.S. and Canada. Connelly routinely ships tables to Europe, New Zealand and the Middle East. The Connelly story includes a retail chapter as well. As the largest billiard retailer
in the Southwest, there are five Connelly stores in Arizona offering true factory-direct pricing.

THE CONNELLY LINE
Each Connelly billiard table is built to exacting standards that combine creativity superior materials, state-of-the-art technology and old-world craftsmanship. We’re proud to only produce tables that meet or exceed Billiard Congress
of America (BCA) specifications. Mindful of our environment, no endangered or rainforest woods are used in the construction of Connelly tables.

Connelly tables are offered in six different sizes (from 6 to 10 foot) and in four different feature levels, from entry level to mid-range to professional.

Connelly offers more than 30 meticulously crafted models. Tables are available in three American hardwoods
offering customers more versatility than most other billiard table manufacturers. Ash, maple and cherry all are
chosen for their durability strength and beauty

Ash - Fine Pennsylvania ash is preferred by Connelly. A revered furniture favorite, ash is considered more durable than oak, and combines superior strength (used for baseball bats!) with an attractive open grain.

Maple - Connelly carefully selects its maple from various regions of the U.S. Maple is becoming one of America’s
most popular furniture and cabinet woods, as its pale color complements contemporary designs. Its very
even-grain texture results in a smooth, fine-furniture finish.

Cherry - Long prized for its fine grain that provides a wonderfully smooth finish, cherry has long been considered
the premier furniture wood and makes up much of America’s heirloom pieces. Relatively expensive, Connelly
premium cherry is primarily of Appalachian origin.

There are 18 different finishes to choose from. Everything from Mahogany to Antique Cherry to Pecan. Only the
finest Italian slate is used on Connelly tables. Imported to our custom specifications, each set is diamond honed
and perfectly matched to provide a consistently level playing surface. Naturally, all slate is permanently framed in accordance with BCA specifications.

A selection of sight materials including mother of pearl, brass and abalone are accurately inlaid for consistent play. You can choose from a selection of handcrafted RC Designs® pocket styles to complement your table selection.
The result is a table that is uniquely personal and will provide generations of playing pleasure.

THE EXCLUSIVE RAPID RAIL™
The revolutionary Rapid Rail reflects our commitment to constantly improve our design through innovation. It combines engineering and superior materials to provide awesome ball response. Each individual rail is laid out and drilled to proportionally accept four rail bolts instead of the industry standard three. The additional rail bolts provide a more consistent rail tension for more consistent play. Combined with full profile K-66 cushions, vulcanized-canvas backing and cushion-control fabric, the result is a precise and true ball response which actually even sounds better. The Rapid Rail is a standard feature on all Connelly models except the entry level “Desert Collection.”

THE QUALITY OF HAND CRAFTSMANSHIP
An amazing amount of wood craftsmanship goes into every table we build.
