You don't balance a billiard table, but you level it. This starts by making sure the floor is level. As the table is put together, the foundation is first leveled before the slate is installed. This should be done using a large level and a string level. After the slate is installed, the same process is used and small shims are inserted under the slate as it is tightened down. When the table seems completely level, the slate is finished and the level is re-checked. Most installers will also slowly roll a ball across the table in different paths to be sure the surface is correct before covering the slate.
