Snooker Billiards Pool > Pool Tables > American Tables
|
|
|
American Pool is the national billiards game in the USA and their full size
table is the 9 Ft table, although most seem to come in 8 ft sizes. They also have bigger pockets than their English cousins and also bigger
pool balls. The American pool ball is 2 and 1/4 inch in diameter, which means the cue tips are also larger on American Pool cues, typically 13 mm. This larger
cue tip is required for better control of the cue ball.
The cloth for American pool tables, and some English pool tables are made with speed cloth, or cloth without a nap, unlike the English snooker table which does have a nap (the nap is a slightly raised surface on the cloth, which has a direction; it is smoother or 'with the grain' going from the baulk end to the black spot end and coarser or 'against the grain' going from the black spot end to baulk.) This means the ball does not deviate on the table when hit, unlike a snooker ball which when hit slowly, can deviate slightly, depending on the direction of the 'nap'.

Just to let you know the soccer table is all put together and hiding in the
garage. My husband (who is ultra fussy about these things) said how impressed he
was with the instructions and the way all the components were not only there but
also so well labelled! Many thanks.
