A Brief History of Pool Tables
Many people who don’t play any cue sports would assume that all games tables are the same. But from the fifteenth century which the earliest billiard table dates from, distinct differences in the size and materials manufacturers use, have developed. Should anyone be considering purchasing a games table, it is well worth brushing up on your knowledge of the differences.
Traditionally, all cue sports were called “billiards” but over the years, the term billiards has developed into different meanings around the world. In Britain and Australia for example, "billiards" usually refers exclusively to the game of English billiards but in America and Canada, it refers to cue games generally. In the UK the term "pocket billiards" is rarely used and “Pool” is the name most often heard for this game. Although “Snooker” is really a variation of pocket billiards, it has been formally recognised as a professional sport in its own right and its rules bear little resemblance to those of Pool.
English Pool Tables (also known as Traditional Pool Tables) vary in length from 6 foot long to 9 foot. Snooker tables range from 6 foot to 12 foot and American Pool Tables vary from 6 foot to 9 ½ foot in length. All types of Pool Tables can be purchased these days in a variety of styles from the traditional to contemporary, or even in “futuristic” styles. Where space is limited, many pubs and homes may opt to purchase “combination tables” which can be easily converted from a dining table to Pool Table or from a dining table to a multi-games table.
