A billiard table is a rectangular surface, typically made of slate covered with a green cloth. It is designed for cue sports like pool and snooker. The table’s dimensions are usually around 9 feet long, 4.5 feet wide, and 32 inches high. Sturdy legs provide stability, while a solid wood frame adds elegance.
The green cloth, known as the playing surface, offers a smooth and consistent area for the balls to roll on. The surface is marked with lines and markings to aid players in positioning the balls accurately. Six pockets, one at each corner and one along each long side, are covered with elastic nets to collect pocketed balls.
Rubber cushions are placed along the edges of the playing surface, providing a rebound effect when balls strike them. This adds a strategic element to the game. Accessories such as cue sticks, racks, chalk, and bridge sticks complement the table.
A billiard table creates a captivating environment for players to showcase their skills and enjoy the thrill of cue sports.
