English Pool Tables



pool & billiards

English pool can be played in the United Kingdom as a popular variation of pool. These tables can be six to seven feet long, which is a little shorter that the international standard. This style is popular among UK league players, and is frequently maintained at a high standard. This pool table is perfect for all levels of players because it has a smooth and even surface. The English game requires the player to choose a colour after a break.

American pool table

American pool tables tend to be larger than English and have larger pockets. These tables can be used at professional and tournament levels. A table that is 8- or 7-foot in length is better for home use. These tables take up less space and can fit in buildings more easily.

British pool table

Because it is smaller and more maneuverable, the British pool table is an excellent choice for home use. The cloth of a British pool table is 95% wool or 100% wool. This weave makes it easier to spin the ball and make the pocket tighter. This makes it easy for beginners and increases the speed and excitement.

Australian pool table

A pool table made in Australia is a great choice. Quedos Billiard Tables Australia is a leading manufacturer of custom billiard tables and snooker tables. Your friends will be impressed by the quality of their tables.

Australian and British pool tables

British and Australian pool tables are similar in design but differ in several ways. The main difference is the size. The length of a British table is typically six to seven feet. Australian tables, on the other hand, are shorter and better suited for home gaming rooms. The size of the pockets is often an indicator of the difference.

Pockets at every table

An English pool table's pockets are smaller than one from America. This is to make it easier to store larger balls in the pockets. The pockets on an American table also allow for two balls to rest side by side.


Sizes of each table

English pool tables are available in many sizes and shapes. A common size is seven by four feet (2.5m by 1.2m). There are smaller tables available. These are usually found in bars and restaurants.

Number of balls on each Table

The number of balls on an English table will be slightly different from one in America. In general, 16 balls are found on an English table. American-style balls are smaller and have a flatter, shorter surface. English-style balls are made from a higher density material and are woven into cloth. The direction of weave (or nap) affects how balls roll. This is conducive to precision rather than power.

The sizes of the cloths for each table

English pool tables have different sizes. A standard English pool table size is 7ft. But they can be customized to make them smaller or bigger. These tables can be found in smaller spaces and pubs. They use smaller cues and billiard balls than their American counterparts and have smaller cloths.

The sizes of the cushions for each table

The cushion dimensions of an English pool table's cushions are usually smaller than those found on American tables. An English cushion should be the same size as the rail profile. The cushion should be at least one inch above the table's top rail. To allow proper ball flight, the cushions must be placed in the appropriate places on the table.

Weight of each cushion

An English pool table is equipped with different pockets and cushions to an American table. The pockets of an English pool table are significantly smaller than their American counterparts. There should be enough space for two American pool balls to fit side by side.
