I initiate pool tables. Lots of pool tables, but I now have to level a one piece pool table. I tried leveling under the slate but everything goes haywire. I was told by my sibling who worked for a vending company to just shim the legs. Is this right?

Pool record slate
Number of pieces
1-piece slate is cumbersome and difficult to level. It is generally only ½" in thickness and may twist, preventing a flat surface. Many coin-operated and very inexpensive tables use one-piece slate.

I lack to build by own pool table but I want it to be easily movable, which is why I don't want to use slate. Is there any problem with using a lighter lay that is as smooth (e.g. wood, carbon fiber, fiberglass)?
You say fiberglass would be too
Playing Pool on a wood skin is like using a giant stick of chewing gum for a diving board ----- improper and distressing equipment.
You can't play a 'true' game of pool on a wooden table. Like Johnny said, wood tables are toys.

I have a 8 ft pool tableland with a three piece slate, but unfortunately between the middle slate and the end slate there is a slight "bump" where the edges aren't even. What would be the nicest way to fix this without hiring my local billiards
I use not make sense putty. Do the joints and then use a putty knife. Sand after until you can run your hand across and not notice the junction. And you can also adjust the slate screws into the construct if its extremely uneven. Just dont tighten too
