A
pool table has 6 pockets and uses a standard 'stripes and solids' ball set;
also known as 'pocket billiards'. A pure billiards table has no pockets and
uses only 3 balls. A snooker table has smaller pockets and balls, a very large
playing surface and is played primarily in England.
There
are three common sizes for billiard tables. 3.5 On 7, 4 on 8 and 4.5 on 9. The
table width should be half the size of its overall length. If you watching
billiard tournament on TV you probably wonder why the tables look so big, most
cases you would be right because in tournaments they use the 9 feet tables and
most pool sellers supplies up to 8 feet table.
Owning a billiard table comes with many responsibilities and
cleaning it is one of them. Try to clean
your table more often than once a year to not only keep it looking good, but to
prolong the life of the table itself. I
found you a great how-to guide that will take you through the steps of properly
cleaning your billiard table. Hope you
find it helpful.
