Is harder sink balls on a bigger pool table?

Question

im just asking is it harder sinking balls on a 9ft table rather than a 7 ft

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I would say so because they have to travel further but it would still be great!!

Answer 3

depends on what you're used to.

I have a harder time on the big tables, but I grew up shooting pool on Grandpa's table in his den (it was NICE too)

Answer 4

yeah it's a big difference, mainly because when you play on one sized table so long you get used to the range of the table and you know everything thier is about playing on that table. I grew up playing on 9 foot tables for many years, then the bar that had those tables got sold along with those tables. the new owners brought in 7 foot tables. I had so many problems adjustin to those tables it took me a couple of weeks until i got my shot down on those new tables

Answer 5

Yes it is. The balls have to travel a longer distance. Therefore making the pockets seem tighter and smaller. Always play and practice on a 9ft table. If you are good on a 9ft table, you will be great on a 7ft table.

Answer 6

There are a few things are are constant when it comes to pool tables.  I'm referring to the world-standardized equipment specifications.  The playing surface of the table is always a length to width ratio of 2:1.  The balls are always 2 1/4" in diameter.  The pocket openings have a range that they must fall within to be considered regulation.  So the main difference between different sized pool tables is going to be the playing surface.  A 9ft. table has a playing surface 16.5 square feet larger than a 7ft. table.  Both tables present their unique challenges.  Small tables have shorter shots but they also have a far greater chance of having clusters and interfering balls.  Larger tables frequently call for pocketing longer shots, but the chance of having clusters and getting snookered is much less.  I think that you'll find that as your skill level improves, it becomes easier to play on larger tables.  When you become more confident in your shotmaking ability, you will truly learn to appreciate the extra room to move around the table.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee
