Shuffleboard Table Wax, which actually comes in dry powder form and is sometimes referred to as “shuffleboard sand,” has two primary purposes.
  • It helps Shuffleboard Table pucks glide smoothly across the table by cutting down on the friction between the puck and the playing surface.
  • By doing the above, wax protects your table from the wear and tear of repeated use.

Simply put: Your Shuffleboard Table won’t perform its best, look its best, or last as long as expected, and your shots won’t be as accurate, if you don’t commit to waxing your table on a regular basis. “Waxing” means sprinkling a special powder on the surface of the table, and experienced shufflers know just how much to apply for the best results.

When it comes to Shuffleboard Table wax, here at The Shuffleboard Federation, we carry the choice of champions. We recently asked the five top-rated Table Shuffleboard players in the world the following question: If you were playing in the finals of a tournament and could pick the powdered Shuffleboard Table wax and silicone spray that were going to be used, what would you choose?

Ultra Glide Powdered Shuffleboard Wax™ and Super Slick® Silicone Spray were the unanimous choice. One player preferred Ultra Glide™ T3, and one chose Ultra Glide™ T5. The other three chose Ultra Glide™ T4, which is our best-selling Shuffleboard Table powdered wax product.

Whether you’re a professional shuffler or just buying your first Shuffleboard Table, we can help you choose the right wax product for your needs. We carry a variety of options, suitable for all table sizes, from a 12-Foot Shuffleboard Table to a 14-Foot Shuffleboard Table to a regulation-size 22-Foot Shuffleboard Table, and speed preferences. With our great selection, you can experiment with different speeds and see what works best for you.

Ground walnut shells have been used as a principal component of The Shuffleboard Federation’s Ultra Glide™ T Grade (Tournament Grade) Powdered Shuffleboard Table Wax products for over 35 years. Through a proprietary mix of finely ground walnut shells and White Lightning® Speed Regulator, The Shuffleboard Federation has developed the most consistent table shuffleboard powders available. Our R Grade (Regular Grade) Speed Powders do not contain nuts or nutshells. Check out our entire lineup of Table Shuffleboard Speed Powders for 7' to 22' Shuffleboard Tables. Because of the use of walnut-based materials in our T Grade Speed Powders, The Shuffleboard Federation often receives questions related to walnut allergies and allergic reactions.

Walnuts (Juglandaceae) are a member of the Tree Nut family, and as such, have been reported to cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Tree Nut allergy is common, and reactions range from mild itching of the mouth to anaphylaxis. The reported incidence of Tree Nut allergies varies based on region, age, race/ethnicity, and the definition used for diagnosis but typically affects ~0.05%–2.0% of the population, with children being the most highly affected group. Specifically, walnuts have been estimated to contribute 20-30% [MM([3] of the total Tree Nut allergy incidence in the United States.

Nearly all reported allergic reactions to walnuts are the result of ingestion of the dried fruit (or kernel). Through component-resolved diagnostics, at least 5 different proteins (Jug r 1-5) have been identified in the walnut kernel that can cause allergic reactions in people. These proteins have not been shown to occur in the walnut shell. Ingestion is not anticipated to occur under normal use conditions for Table Shuffleboard Wax.

Walnut shell has not been shown to cause skin sensitization through exposure. That said, walnut shell Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and warning labels for products containing walnut shells often recognize risks of allergic reaction. This is typically due to the potential for trace amounts of walnut kernel to remain in the shell during processing and thus enter the finished product. Walnut shells are regularly used in the cosmetic industry as an abrasive exfoliant where extensive skin exposure occurs without incident. Similarly, skin contact is not considered a hazard for shuffleboard wax containing walnut shells. Walnut shells have not been shown to present an acute toxicity hazard.

There are several case reports of contact dermatitis and skin hyperpigmentation related to dermal exposure to the green outer flesh (hull or husk) of walnuts during harvest or preliminary processing. The active aromatic napthoquinone (Juglone) has been shown to cause the irritation. Juglone has been isolated from the hull but has not been identified in the shell of the walnut, and skin irritation or dermatitis has not been reported for the dried shell.

It is NOT intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health care provider for any individual concerns, conditions, or treatments.
