pool cue and case

Are you trying to figure out what size pool table you have? Or, are you looking to buy a pool table and aren’t sure what size will work for you? We are about to take the mystery out of sizes and answer both of these questions.

Different manufacturers use different width rails, so the industry standard is to measure your playing field. You should also know that a seven footer isn’t truly 7′, an eight footer isn’t really 8′ and so on. Some people also are convinced they have one size and they really have an other.

If you have a pool table, take your tape measure and measure in inches between the cushion noses on the short end of the table (see photo of an 8′ right). Don’t measure under the cushion or inside the pocket. The length is typically double the width, but if it makes you feel better you can measure lengthwise, too.

Typical playing field sizes are:

7′ – 40″ x 80″

8′ – 44″ x 88″

Pro 8′ – 46″ x 92″

9′ – 50″ x 100″

But let’s say you are looking to buy a pool table and want to know what size will work best. First, measure the room you will be putting the table in.

A standard length cue stick is 57′-58′ inches. You need enough space around your billiard table to shoot when your cue ball is up against the rail. Since we know how large the playing field is one different sized pool tables and the size of a cue. We can come up with the room size needed for a pool table. In a perfect world your home would have a perfectly proportionate room for your pool table. Unfortunately this isn’t the case in most homes. People have large furniture that cannot be moved, fireplaces, angled walls, etc. They also have rooms that are long enough or wide enough, but not both. Don’t fret if you don’t have that ideal sized room. Chances are a pool table will still work.

Take your measurement and refer to the room chart. The room sizes along the bottom row are the ideal, but if you are short on a side. You can use a shorter cue like a 52″. This doesn’t mean that you will have to use this short cue all the time, just for the shots on the rail. But, if your room size is falls completely in the 48″ cue length range, you may consider a smaller pool table.

Room Chart

7′ Table (40″ x 80″ playing field)

58″ cue = Room 12′ 9″ x 16′ 1″

52″ cue = Room 11′ 9″ x 15′ 2″

48″ cue = Room 11′ 3″ x 14′ 6″

8′ Table (44″ x 88″ playing field)

58″ cue = Room 13′ 3″ x 16′ 10″

52″ cue = Room 12′ 4″ x 16′

48″ cue = Room 11′ 9″ x 15′ 4″

9′ Table (50″ x 100″ playing field)

58″ cue = Room 13′ 9″ x 17′ 10″

52″ cue = Room 12′ 10″ x 17′

48″ cue = Room 12′ 3″ x 16′ 4″

You can also tape off the size of the playing field on the ground or even use a bed sheet to get a visual of space needed. If you are still in doubt, contact your local pool table service provider.

is this a foul? 8ball pool?

Case1:
Cue ball hits the object ball and the object ball hits an opponent’s ball and pockets it. Object ball is not pocketed.

Case2:
Cue ball hits the object ball and the object ball hits an opponent’s ball and pockets it. The object ball is pocketed after the opponent’s ball is pocketed. Will i lose my turn here? is this a foul?

Case 2:
Cue ball hits the object ball and the object ball hits an opponent’s ball. The object ball is pocketed first and then the opponent’s ball is pocketed afterward. Will i lose my turn here? is this a foul?

Case 1.
General bar rules-
no foul, but your turn is over.

Tournament/league rules-
same.

Case 2.
General bar rules-
This one is tricky. if you didn’t call it “off his ball”, your turn is over, no foul. If you called it “off his ball”, and in the same pocket it went in(you did it on purpose), then it’s legal and your turn continues. BUT, some people who play by bar rules will say you loose your turn unless it goes in “clean”, even if you call it. I call these people “p#$$ies”, lol. Ask your opponent how he feels about that type of shot before taking it.

Tournament/league rules-
Most league rules are call the pocket only, which means if you called the 6 in the corner, it doesn’t matter how it gets there, as long as it gets there. Making this shot is completely legal and your turn continues. I heard APA doesn’t even need you to call your pocket, if you hit your ball first, and ANY of your balls go in, your turn continues.

Case 3(I assume is what you meant lol).

In either type of rules, this is exactly the same outcome as case 2. Basically, it all depends on how you and your opponent decide to play the game. None of these cenarios result in an actual foul.

Another great place to shop for pool cue and case products is Amazon. They have more than just books!
