Frequently Asked Pool Table Questions

 
  What Is A Regulation Size Pool Table?  
 
For a pool table to be considered ‘regulation size’ the length of the play field is twice the width—and most regulation-size pool tables are built in 7’, 8’ and 9’ lengths. No matter which length you choose, be aware that minimum space requirements will change depending on the size of the cue you select. Most of the pool tables you'll find on our site meet the BCA guidelines for regulation pool tables. A properly dimensioned table is important because as you learn to play all of the angles remain constant. So when you move from a 7 foot to an 8 foot table the angle remains the same only the stroke changes.
