Billiard Table

Billiard Tables are used in the game of Billiards, which is also known as Pool. Pocket billiards tables, sometimes called pool tables, are specific to the various pool games such as eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool and one-pocket. As the name implies, pocket billiards tables have pockets; normally six of them – one at each corner of the table (corner pockets) and one at the midpoint of each of the longer sides (side pockets).

Billiard Tables originated in the 1700’s and today largely resembles the same table that they did back then. You can buy Billiard tables online or at specialty stores. You can usually find a better deal online in most cases.

Pocket billiard tables come in different sizes, typically referred to as 9-foot, 8-foot, or 7-foot tables. In all cases, the playing surface (the dimensions between the noses of the cushions) is rectangular with a 2:1 ratio. They usually come with green or red felt.
