Climatic adjusters are steel brackets with a threaded rod and nut pairs, mounted under the table every 3–4 ft, that let you fine-tune this curve for a perfectly level or slightly concave surface.

Frequent asked questions about shuffleboard accessories

What is the best lubricant for shuffleboard?

The top-performing lubricants combine a paraffin-based wax with a matching speed powder. Look for a low-dust, high-paraffin formula that leaves a thin, even film on the playfield, plus an ultra-fine powder that pans into a uniform “ice” surface. Together, they:

  • Reduce friction for faster, smoother slides

  • Minimize dust so airborne particles don’t build up

  • Maintain consistency shot after shot

For added protection, a light mist of silicone spray over the wax-and-powder layer locks in speed, prevents dust tracking, and helps your lubricant last through multiple games.


What do you put on a shuffleboard?

A proper speed system involves three layers:

  • Cleaner/Polish: First, remove old wax and dirt with a dedicated shuffleboard surface cleaner.

  • Base Wax: Apply a thin coat of paraffin-based or bio-based shuffleboard table wax in a 2–3 ft band at the foul line.

  • Speed Powder: Sprinkle an even dusting of shuffleboard powder over the waxed area, then use a soft-fiber brush to pan it into a smooth, paper-thin layer.


What is the secret to playing shuffleboard well?

Mastering shuffleboard combines technique, table care and mental focus:

  • Consistent Release: Use a straight-line stance and a smooth, pendulum-style arm motion to keep the puck on target.
  • Speed Control: Dial in your wax-and-powder system so you know exactly how much force sends the puck to each scoring zone.

  • Table Awareness: Keep the surface clean and evenly waxed, no slow spots or clumps that can alter your shot.

  • Strategic Placement: Learn defensive shots (blocking) alongside offensive “hanger” and “knock-off” plays.

  • Practice & Observation: Watch shot angles, adjust for slight table tilt, and refine your technique by playing different puck weights and speed settings.

Combine those skills with a perfectly maintained playfield, and you’ll consistently outscore opponents whether you’re in the bar, the living room or a league match.
