About Us

It may be a sad fact but Lifestyle directors have been involved in the manufacture and sales of Pool Tables and Juke Boxes all their working lives. The company Directors between them have over 50 years experience in the Pool and Music business.

Back in 1969 one of the directors sold only original American Pool tables imported from the USA such as U.S.Billiards, Futurion, Brunswick and Ebonite and Juke Boxes from the world renowned Rowe-Ami company of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Then in 1973 a company called Hazel Grove Music based in Stockport Cheshire who also operated coin pool tables and Juke Boxes developed a pool table that had smaller pockets and cabinet dimensions than the American game and called it the “Superleague” table which is now legendary and changed the face of the pool game in the UK.

Suddenly there was a table that was smaller than the American tables but the perfect size to fit in to the pubs, clubs and homes in the UK and with its napped wool cloth and the same ball to pocket ratio as snooker we had a table that fitted all locations and provided a skill level to suit the better player and a great fun game for the novice. In the very early days the late Alex Higgins endorsed the table and appeared at exhibitions demonstrating the finer points of the “Superleague” table.

One of our directors joined Hazel Grove in 1978 as Sales Manager, then Sales Director and ultimately Managing Director during which time the Superleague brand dominated the UK market. In the 90’s the company was sold to the Hainsworth Group who merged the company with their Riley Snooker company.
By this time more than 120,000 Superleague tables had been made and many are still out there performing and providing endless enjoyment in pubs and clubs throughout the UK and Europe. We travelled the world introducing the Superleague tables to countries such as South Africa, Hungary, Germany and even the USA- “coals to Newcastle “whilst at the same time opening a manufacturing plant in Spain to meet demand and a distribution company in France.

Leaving Hazel Grove in 1998 and starting a new manufacturing company called Excel Leisure our owners manufactured over 12,000 more tables before selling the company to form Lifestyle Leisure Products as a pure distribution company.

Our owners have travelled worldwide in search of the finest pool products in countries such as China, Germany and of course to Belgium to the ball factory of Aramith and the world famous Simonis billiard cloth factory. Lifestyle is proud to represent Aramith and Simonis products in the UK and of course the exclusive supply of Garlando Coin football tables.

So far that’s 50+ years of unrivalled experience in the sale and manufacture of Pool tables, so we feel qualified to offer you the best advice before making what is a difficult decision- why slate bed, which cloth, 6ft or 7ft, which game UK or American? We can guide you without obligation whether Pool Table or Juke Box. None of our competitors has the knowledge or experience that we have and we are happy to share that to help you reach the right purchasing decision.
All our products are inclusive of vat and delivery with no hidden extras and the price we advertise is the price you pay- right through to checkout.
Whatever your question we have the answer- so call today and let us help.

Karl Boyes Interview

Karl Boyes Karl started out as a 14 year old playing in a local Manchester league in the UK.

It didn't take him long to become one of the top players and aged 18, Karl held 5 local individual titles at the same time and remained unbeaten in 18 months.

He's moved on since then and now plays in 8-Ball, 9-Ball and 10-Ball tournaments around the world including Europe, USA and Asia.

In 2010, Karl was crowned World team champion, won his first Euro Tour, won the World 8 Ball championship, was a member of the winning Mosconi Cup team winning 5 out of 6 games (losing 6-5 in his only defeat), won a GB9 Tour event and finished the year as Euro Tour No 1.

We caught up with Karl whilst he was in Fujairah, UAE, defending his World 8-Ball title.

“I’m confident as always that I can defend my title, but pool is a funny old sport” says Karl.

“At times you can play average and win and other times you can play some of the best pool you can produce and lose, so you have to keep trying your heart out and take the rough with the smooth.

“The UAE are starting to produce some great players and I don’t think it will be long before someone from here wins something big.

“In 2006 a tour called the IPT was set up by Kevin Trudeau. “I had a little success on the tour and loved the whole buzz, which is something I felt that English 8-Ball didn’t have.

“When it folded, I decided to stay playing 9-ball pool and the rest, as they say, is history!

“Fitness has definitely helped my game, as it got me motivated and also gives you a great feel good factor.

“I believe that’s the reason I didn’t fulfil my potential on the English pool scene.
“Although I had some good wins, I just ate rubbish and got drunk at events.

“I was in a full time job so money wasn’t a issue, whereas pool is now my full time job so I can’t keep getting drunk!”

We asked Karl about his Mosconi Cup debut and what it meant to him.

“It was amazing; without a doubt, the greatest pool moment of my life.

“To be one of the very few pool players to play at York Hall and win the Mosconi is a great honour and I’m grateful that Matchroom Sport invited me.

“Johan Ruijsink (Europe’s Team Coach) made the whole experience what it was.

“He is a great guy with a huge heart, a certain friend for life and he’s not a bad coach either!”

We asked Karl if he may need to consider moving from the UK to fulfil his potential.

“Not at all. Darren(Appleton) & I both lived in England in 2010 and probably had the best seasons on paper out of everyone.

“On a personal note, I’m not too keen on how they run their events. Double elimination to the final is not my scene!”

Karl is soon to be a father with his partner, former World ladies snooker No1 and 2008 Eight-Ball pool champion Lynette Horsburgh. We asked which was more nerve-wracking; playing pool in front of cameras and fans or the prospect of becoming a Dad?

“Pool is just a job I do to earn a wage, but becoming a dad is a massive part of my life; it doesn’t get much bigger. “Luckily for me, I couldn’t ask for a better mother for Daddys little girl.”

Where does the nickname ‘Guapo’ (Spanish for ‘The handsome one’) come from?

“Excuse me? Where do you think?!” Karl laughs.

“All joking aside, it came about from the 2007 world 9ball championships in Manila.

“When we were walking around the streets and malls, a few of the ladies would shout ‘Guapo, guapo’ at me and it’s stuck.

"Some of the lads tried to make out they were shouting at them, but Darren Appleton and Scott Higgins don’t really have a strong case, hahahaha!!”

Finally, Karl was asked whether he has any prized possessions.

“I have a few. A good pal who travels around our major tournaments taking pictures for the websites made all five Mosconi Cup players a picture book from start to finish. “It tells a great story without words and it’s a lovely book. Thanks JP.

“Also, at the start of the Mosconi, Johan said he would give the team flag he made to his personal MVP. This hangs proudly in my pool room.

“Last but not least, is my award for finishing as European number 1 in 2010. It’s a life-size gold 9-Ball encrusted with 58 diamonds.

“I prefer things like this, as they are different from some sad looking tin trophy!”
