Grand Hudson<\/h2>\n

The original Grand Hudson<\/a> embodies the look and feelings of down-to-earth, classic Americana.

Each Grand Hudson\u2019s playing surface is made with the optimal industrial standard 3\u201d thickness, with a tournament-quality polymer finish that\u2019s widely preferred by shuffleboard professionals. Hudson\u2019s polymer finish is specially made, and carries with it a lifetime guarantee.<\/p>\n

Hudson tables have built-in features meant to protect your shuffleboard for years to come. Climatic adjusters<\/strong> are included with each shuffleboard table. Climatic adjusters integral to help protect the wooden playfield from cracking and warping due to natural changes in temperature and humidity.<\/p>\n

Protective cushions<\/strong> hug the inside horsecollar rail walls at each end, reducing the damage caused by the blows of weights zooming towards the ends of the playfield. These cushions come in fashionable gray, green, or burgundy<\/strong>. To protect the weights pushed off the sides and into the gutters, the Grand Hudson Shuffleboard\u2019s alleys are covered in gray carpet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Grand Hudson\u2019s cradle is constructed of a high-density fiberboard with a maple veneer<\/strong>. The cradle has light maple and rich espresso finishes, while the legs have espresso finishes with maple trim pieces, enhancing the overall beauty.<\/p>\n

Grand Hudson Deluxe<\/h2>\n

The Grand Hudson Deluxe\u2019s<\/a> cradle and legs are made entirely out of solid poplar and maple hardwoods<\/strong>, a characteristic sought after by experienced shuffleboard players for their durability and reliability. The corners on the horsecollar are milled out of a single piece of wood<\/strong>. This is a feature that is completely unique, found only on this Hudson Shuffleboard. It serves to add extra endurance, extending the life of your shuffleboard.<\/p>\n

Grand Hudson Deluxe Hybrid<\/h2>\n

The Grand Hudson Deluxe Hybrid<\/a> is a fascinating take on the original Grand Hudson\u2019s already elegant design. Each corner of the shuffleboard cradle has rounded<\/strong> (also called radial<\/strong>) toprails<\/strong>. Under each corner\u2019s rounded toprail is an upper cradle with flat corners<\/strong>, giving it an octagonal-shaped frame<\/strong>. Underneath this upper octagonal cradle sits the lower rectangular cradle<\/strong>, which forms the underbelly of the table.<\/p>\n
