American Pool Tables

Leading American Tables Suppliers.

One of the key features of American pool tables is their size. These tables are typically 7ft, 8ft, or 9ft in size. The size of an American table relates to the playing surface size and not the cabinet surround. The 9ft models are used in official tournaments and provide a greater challenge and require more skill and accuracy from players. Ample space is needed for the 9ft tournament model, which is why the 7ft and 8ft versions are so popular in the UK.

Another defining characteristic of American pool tables is their wider pockets. These tables feature pockets up to 4.5 inches in width, compared to the smaller pockets found on UK-style tables. This allows players to use larger 2-1/4 inch pool balls and offers a greater chance of making shots. However, the wider pockets combined with, the larger playing surface require higher precision and skill to make many shots.

American pool table accessories are regulated by official organisations such as the Billiard Congress of America. This includes specifications for the size and weight of the balls, the length and tip size of the cues, and the type of cloth used on the playing surface. This ensures consistency and fairness in official competitions and provides a level playing field for players of all skill levels. All models that we sell meet the required specifications.
