Why Choose an American Pool Table?

Here are just a few of the reasons you may prefer an American pool table for your home games room:

American Pool Table Features

Features of American Pool Tables

Size: While most English pool tables top out at 7 ft long, the typical American table is 8 or 9 ft, with the 9 ft table being standard for tournaments. Many people find the larger surface to be more forgiving (less chance of balls making unintentional contact) while at the same time encouraging a livelier style of play.
Cushioning: It is not readily apparent to most casual players but the cushions along the edge of the American table come to a definite point, (as opposed to English cushions that are more rounded). As a result, balls bounce off the cushions with more force, which again, aids in a more lively style of play.
Balls: If American tables used 2-inch English pool balls they would look tiny on the big surface. For that reason, American balls are 2 1/4 inches in diameter, which means they are heavier and carry better when you're trying to execute a long shot up the table.
Pockets: Because the balls are larger on an American table the pockets need to be larger to accommodate them. Otherwise pocketing a ball would be a frustrating experience for most amateurs. The edges of the pockets on the American table are also straighter which makes it easier to pot long shots.
Cloth: English tables use a wood cloth with a napped texture which tends to slow down play a bit and make the game more strategic. American tables use a nylon cloth that is very smooth and facilitates those long shots we keep talking about.
