Today, assuming you’re not playing in someone’s home, you will probably wind up in either a tavern or club playing on a coin-operated, 40” x 80” (7’) pool table. When I was growing up in the 60’s, if you wanted to play pool on a real pool table, you either went to a stand alone pool room or a pool room inside a bowling alley. Unless you are one of these, you probably need to stay in the 7’ & 8’ size.

A 9’ table is only found in pool rooms or in the homes of professional pool players or extremely proficient “student of the game” amateurs. So here’s a breakdown of size of table based on playfield dimensions.ħ’ Playfield = 38” x 76” 39” x 78” 40” x 80”Ĩ’ Playfield = 44” x 88” or 46” x 96” (regulation)Īs you can see, a 7’ table actually has 3 different sizes, an 8’ table has 2, and a 9’ table has only one. The reason we don’t use the outside dimensions of the table is that depending on the style of table and who is making them, the actual width of a rail can very a lot from table to table. Here’s an example: A standard 7’ table has a playfield of 38” across by 76” long.
This measurement is the actual playfield size of the table from inside tip (nose) of the cushion across to the other tip. Pool table manufacturers use another method of classifying their tables and that is by “playfield” size. These numerical distinctions have nothing to do with the actual size of tables, they are just a general category that is easily understood by the public. Pool tables are always twice as long as the width so the actual size distinctions should read: 3 ½ x 7’ - 4 x 8’ - 4 ½ x 9’ Basically, pool tables come in three sizes: 7’, 8’, & 9’.
