Seven, Eight, Nine<\/h2>\n
Though tables are advertised as 7\u2019, 8\u2019, 8.5\u2019, and 9\u2019, the actual dimensions of the playing surfaces are smaller.<\/p>\n

Playing field areas by advertised length:<\/h3>\n\n- 7\u2019 \u2013 39\u201d x 78\u201d<\/li>\n
- 8\u2019 \u2013 44\u201d x 88\u201d<\/li>\n

- 9\u2019 \u2013 50\u201d x 100\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The seven footer models preferred by bar and pub owners have small fields, which allow the players more flexibility and maneuverability with their moves. However, gameplay and style is also affected by the size of the pool cues used by players.<\/p>\n

Cue Up!<\/h2>\n
Pool or billiard cues come in a variety of materials, but their lengths range from 48\u201d-59\u201d. The longer 57\u201d-59\u201d cues are the most commonly used variations. Extra cue length betters a player\u2019s ability to play tactical moves, but take up more space as a result. If you are short on game space, you can purchase shorter cues, but your customers will get annoyed if the table is too big for them to make accurate plays.<\/p>\n
We have a great selection of cues available here.<\/a><\/p>\nObstacles<\/h2>\n
Having too many obstacles in the playing area will also get pool players angry. You should put your table in an area of your pub or sports bar with the least number of obstacles. Poles, walls, and other obstacles significantly decrease the maneuverability of players and interrupt their concentration. If placed too closed to other bar patrons, you also risk injury from accidental billiard impacts.<\/p>\n
Storage<\/h2>\n
After everything else is accounted for, you also need to remember to keep enough space to store your billiard accessories<\/a>. Cue racks, ball containers, and any other items needed for gameplay can be kept near the table itself, or behind the counter. Putting them behind the counter frees up space and reduces the chances they will be stolen, but the appeal of the game drops if players have to wait too long to get what they need.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.gametablesonline.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Winslow-Floor-Cue-Rack-optimized.jpg\" "\\"This")

Once you\u2019ve measured the dimensions of the area you\u2019re planning to use, or that you have available, add in all of the factors above to make the right table choice. A good rule of thumb<\/strong> to go by when calculating the space you\u2019ll need is to take the total length of your cues and playing field, then add a little extra space to account for player strokes<\/strong>. The minimum addition should be 6\u201d, which will keep the area from feeling cramped.<\/p>\nIf you follow these recommendations, you\u2019ll be well on your way to attracting avid billiard players to your bar or pub.
