Seasoned pool players will appreciate the new level of skill that the Putter Pool Indoor Game requires because instead of pool cues, the design strictly uses [golf clubs to move the balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muni-indoor-golf-club) around the 'table'. This allows the Putter Pool Indoor Game to instantly transition from pool table to [mini putt course](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hackers-golf) in a matter of seconds.
