What is a "sub rail" on a pool table?

Answer by  steffers (20)

A Sub rail is the part of the rail that the rubber is attached to. Or in more simpler terms, the side of the pool table that you bank the ball off of. If you use a sold wood sub rail, you will get a better and more accurate rebound.

It is the side rail that the rubber glues to. It is usually made of Poplar and is what gives you a straight solid surface to mount the rubber to.

It's fastened between the rubber and the slate of the table. The tighter the rail, the better the table will play.
