“This is an awesome opportunity for any Dale Jarrett fan,” said Joe Doole, Employee Relations Manager with UPS. “We are very happy with how eXtreme Custom Billiards was able to translate our NASCAR design into a pool table that looks ready to race down the track. I look forward to the proceeds benefiting the United Way.”

Billiards tables are one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. gaming market. According to the latest Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (SGMA) report, sales of billiards tables reached $240 million in 2005 and the industry enjoyed 6.8% growth—greater than the domestic growth rate of 4.3%.

“We see a niche in the home recreation market for people who want something more from their pool table than the classic billiards look,” said John Conod, President of eXtreme Custom Billiards. “Our billiards tables are more than just game tables; they are playable works of art that are as fun to look at as they are to play. Our custom pool tables are truly designed for the accomplished player with the most particular decorative preference.”

With double digit growth in 2005, eXtreme Custom Billiards is leading the market with its eXtreme custom designs and partnerships with organizations including UPS, NASCAR driver Dale Jarrett, United Way, Discovery Chanel, New Orleans Saints, the New Orleans Saints Katrina Relief Fund and a “Biker” themed table on display at Gator Harley Davidson in Leesburg FL.
