What is a reasonable snooker/pool table size ?

Question

i have shorlisted two tables a 6ft snooker and 6ft pool . i was wondering wether it might be too small . i'm avoiding bigger ones becase they are really expensive . thanks

ps answers from thos who have played on a 6ft table

Answer 1

Don't get a 6ft snooker table that will be a joke. Too many balls. Get a 6ft pool table. I prefer pool personaly over snooker. Snooker takes too long!

Answer 2

3x6 pool is a good size. It's too small for snooker.

Answer 3

Don't bother getting a snooker only table thats 6ft long - it isn't regulation size and won't be beneficial. (snooker tables are 12ft x 6ft)

Definitely get the pool table that is at least 6ft x 3ft - that is regulation size - its what most pubs and pool clubs have around the country.

Only get a 7ft x 4ft if you can afford it (it is bigger, which makes potting a bit harder sometimes which means you'll have an advantage over someone who ONLY plays 6x3 table size..)

7x4 is still regulation size also.

Answer 4

i agree with both guys, you shouldn't be playing snooker on a 6ft table, and also you should get a pool table that is at least 7' x 4' there is nothing wrong with a 6ft pool table but everyone has different preferences.
