Hey Brandon, I'd like to add two more reasons to buy a 9' table: Most 9' tables have "deeper" and narrower pockets. The accuracy needed to pot the balls on a 9 footer will raise your skill level SIGNIFICANTLY. If you regularly practice on a 9 footer, playing on an 8 or 7 footer will be like shooting fish in a barrel. Add to that your skill level increase from being able to make significantly longer shots on the 9', and you will never have a "long" shot on a 7 or 8 footer. If you have the room and are serious about wanting to raise your game, buy the nine footer.
powellsa I’ve gotta 9 Foot Olhausen Champion pro table and I can’t say enough good things about it! Get a 9 Foot if your serious about playing pool and if you have the space. Best decision I ever made 🎱
I currently have a nice 9 ft pool table which is very nice..I had an 8 ft pool table before and I think people enjoyed the 8 footer more than the 9 footer...maybe cause 9 ft is harder to play since is longer and pockets are narrower? Thinking about selling 9 to get an 8ft table. We don't play professionally just for fun in my garage man cave...I think I will also enjoy the smaller table more than the 9.
If you really want to get good at pool to the point where you want to compete you should have the 9 foot table.. when you play on a smaller one you’ll be shocked when you get to the competition table.. you will know how to hit the ball but how hard or soft.. how much spin etc.. it will all be off.. but just for fun.. go for it.
ElegyForTheMasses There aren’t any 6 foot pool tables of high quality. You would be looking at cheap pool tables that could very easily break as time passes. Also, this could depend on who is using it. It could be great for young children but not at all great for adults looking for a serious buy. I would definitely go online or look at TH-cam videos of 6 foot tables to see if it’s something of your liking.
Good advice. A friend had a 9foot table when we were kids long ago and I'm looking at having a house built and just remembered a proper house should have a pool table :) but I look around and it seems too many dealers try to bend the truth and pretend 7 foot is regulation size, maybe because so few have room for 9. fine to buy a 7 but dealers should not erode the standard.
If you install a 7-Foot pool table in a 16.8x11.8 room, I suggest getting 48" cue if you want full range of motion (not bumping into walls). 48-inch cues are sometimes called "Juniors" cues or "Kids" cues, but they are suitable for casual home play.
Hi, what if I plan to play (practice) snooker on a 9' pool table? what changes I would have make in marking and Pocket size? I wish to take Snooker professionally but don't have the space and money for a full size snooker table at the moment.
I have an 11' 7" x 24' 3" and I'd like an 8 footer. I am extremely unsure if I should go with this option given the dimensions that I have and the measurements that you gave out. Any help is appreciated!
Lenght is not a problem for you but width is 8 footer will have 112 cm width of playing area, even if you use smaller 48 inch cues or 120 cm you are looking at minimum of 352 cm that you will need, but you also need ideally up to 15 cm from each side on that lenght to have a space to retract that cue while playing so you are going to need 3.82 cm of width to play with smaller 48 inch cue and you only have 356 cm of width... My opinion is anything above 6 ft pool with 83 cm width of playing area is going to be too wide for your room size, even with 6 footer you will need 48 inch cue and could maybe go with 52 inch But in either case your lenght is okay, you can even use 58 inch cue for those shoots
Tables are built to fall in bca regulation height which is between 29.5 and 31 inches from floor to top of slate. However, I have raised tables for several customers with similar situations as yours. It is easiest to do with tables that have built in leg levelers, most of them have at least 3-4 inches of thread, so you can easily raise the whole table a few inches. If it doesn't have levelers, than you can still use 2 inch blocks of wood under each leg and then shim between the leg and the block to level the table. This can be done even if your table is already set up. It just may not be very pretty unless you take some time to paint or stain the blocks. You can hire a table installer to come in and relevel it, but you will want to provide the blocks.
Always great videos, thanks much. My question is how much space is ideal between tables if you have more than one. We have six tables in our Billiard Room in retirement community. We would like 5 feet around each table (meaning 10 feet between tables) and 8 feet to walls (meaning 5 feet of playing space and 3 feet for furniture and people.) Do we sacrifice if we have less space? What is the ideal space and what is still acceptable? Thanks
+Alan Hahn If they're closer than that, it's no big deal. The main limitation to cramming the tables closer together is that if two people each want to make a shot on opposing tables and the shots are in the same spaces, one will have to wait. The layout you've got sounds ideal, but you could certainly get them down to be as close as 5 feet between the tables (instead of the 10 you've got now). If you have the space though, the layout you've got is great.
this bar uptown on the wall side of the pool table on a full stroke back your hitting the wall with butt end of cue, at breaking end of table is the bar if few ppl standing around you have tell ppl to move,it gets kinda annoying.
Jeffrey hammer are you special? Brandon is one of the most nolagable on billard equipment on the planet do you think he's wrong? Well I can tell you no hes right your wrong get a life and stop trying to proof people wrong ya skid bag

For this reason i want a 9'er. Sadly, i dont have the money nor the space. Maybe some day i will build a "pool house" on my property.
Short, quick and easy! Thank you!
Thanks for clearing that up. I bough a 8 ft.
Love your videos man! Always good info no matter what the topic is.
“The table that most people all buy”...60% of the time it works every time!
Ron looks confusingly " that's doesn't make sense"
So it works 60% of the time? I'd buy that for a dollar!
Did you know that 87% of statistics on the internet are wrong
Thanks for the info, the measurements really help.
this is really great info.. thanks Brandon.

Curious, did you end up buying the 8 foot table and if so, what is your experience? Thanks.
@@raphdroidt692 no I still have my 9 fotter
Buy a table vs build your own
If you really want to get good at pool to the point where you want to compete you should have the 9 foot table.. when you play on a smaller one you’ll be shocked when you get to the competition table.. you will know how to hit the ball but how hard or soft.. how much spin etc.. it will all be off.. but just for fun.. go for it.
Great explanation!
Thanks for help ,im gonna go with 8ft pool table.
My space is about 10 1/2ft by 16 1/2ft. Is it worth even consider it or just forget about it?
Forget it. Get a nerf goal.
Another excellent video Brandon! Thanks!
What if you don’t have the space for a 7ft table? Is 6ft worth it to at least have a table in the house?

Hi Brandon i have a room 13.75 x 20 would i be able to play in the 9 foote?
Thanks Brandon for a great video! My room size is 14.9 x 13.7. Do you think it’s big enough to fit a 7” table?
Did you ever get a table? If so how did it work out for you ?
@@jasond2900 also curious. looking for a practice more than full games
Very helpful and professional information thank you
Great video! Exact information I need it. Thank you!
Thank you very helpful..
I would buy a 9ft Diamond billiard table with "drop pocket" system because my #1 dream is to become a cueist, representing Malaysia!
Great video, I learned a lot 👍🏻
good info thanks!

thank you !
Will a 6.5ft pool table fit in a 12ft by 12ft room? Like the mizerak dynasty space saver 6.5'
Hey Brandon what do you think about the cue stick pure x hxt65 is it a good one.
if my room is 17ft X 13.5ft will the 9ft table will be fine ?
you will need shorter cue for some shots
What size Po regular
Could I fit an 8x4 my room is 11 6' x 18'
why dont you make reviews on the cuetec and mezz cues
My room is 15’ 20’ what size is best for me
A 20' x 15' room can comfortably accommodate all sizes of pool table, including a 9 foot table.
Depends on the size of your room !! , I have a 3x6 ,,, and I was offered a Brunswick 4 1/2 x 9 free swap , I said no
I have an 11' 7" x 24' 3" and I'd like an 8 footer. I am extremely unsure if I should go with this option given the dimensions that I have and the measurements that you gave out. Any help is appreciated!

But in either case your lenght is okay, you can even use 58 inch cue for those shoots
great tip
What if you get a 3.7 X 7 and 48” cue ?
Based on the questions below I don't think a lot of people grasped the info in this video.
hey Brandon I like your videos!
ik its 2024 but i have a 7ftby4 pool table will it be ok in a 15ft by 20ft room as its more than 5ft round i think
Definitely enough room
“Straight acrost“ 😊
I'm so cramped for space I went with 20 inches x 10 inches :P
So its 5 ft from the playing surface, not 5 ft from the edge of the table?
Brandon, my room dimensions are 17’6”x17’6”, do you think a 7ft would be better or could I manage an 8ft with standard cues??
I don’t think you watched the video bud
TABLE = SPACE NEEDED
3.5 x 7 = 13.5 by 17
4 x 8 = 14 by 18
4.5 x 9 = 14.5 by 19
Buckridge Plains
acrost?
How much billiard table
Brandon, can you have a higher table. I have back trouble and would enjoy a higher table?
Tables are built to fall in bca regulation height which is between 29.5 and 31 inches from floor to top of slate. However, I have raised tables for several customers with similar situations as yours. It is easiest to do with tables that have built in leg levelers, most of them have at least 3-4 inches of thread, so you can easily raise the whole table a few inches.

Most people in the world using metric system.. “I’ll just guess”
a standard length cue is 53 inchs, not 58.
Jeffrey Hamer no
No, 58 is the standard :)
