    I find th english tables more easier then the american tables,plus the american game is more fun with different games, nine ball is a massive game around the world!! English pool is not,snooker yes pool no!! I remember the first time i walk into a snooker center in my area with a mate and he said we were playing english pool i couldn't stop laughing as it felt as if i was playing on the little kids tables!! and after a few game's it got boring with just red and yellow playing 8 ball!! but lets face it, Americans well favor their game and english will favor their game, it's just what we grew up with! besides if we pool players wanted a challenge we would be playing snooker!!

  • @tomburns890
    @tomburns890 6 місяців тому

    There’s a big misconception of what people think when comparing them. The fact is that EU tables smaller in size compared to American when comparing say a 6’ to 9’ the balls are running 50% longer on average. On a 7’ to 9’ the balls are running 29% longer on average. Hitting a ball in from one corner to the other is a hell of a lot longer on a 9’ compared to 6’ or 7’. Imagine a corner to corner on a 12’ snooker table. The other difference is ball size as you say as American balls are 12.5% bigger in essence making the pockets tougher due to ball size. Then the difference in pockets & the corners rounded EU or sharp corner American type & then also the shelf depth difference between the two & the difference in shelf depth between the brands of tables. Then last but not least American pocket size tip to tip can range from wide to small or shimmed down even smaller. The World Pool is using 9’ tables with American style corner pockets shimmed down to 4”. That is tight with the larger American balls. Cheers

    • @monalisa-bs4zs

      After playing both for years, American style tables are far more forgiving and are easier to pockets balls on. Speed control is much more important to consistently pocket balls on English style.

    This is a no brainer. Certainly slate is preferable. I think a better topic for a video is if you have compromised finances or space, such that a pool table might have to be moved, and you are not a pro--in other words, you're just a regular guy who likes to relax with his friends or family and play pool--can you still gain satisfaction from playing on one made from MDF? And the answer is yes. They CAN warp, but if you take care of them and don't expose them to extreme fluctuations of humidity and temperature, they won't warp. I have a bumper pool table from the '70s--one of the junkiest one's made sold by Sears--that spent 20 years in my garage in Philly, and the MDF is virtually unaffected.

      MDF will only swell if it soaks up water from a large spill especially on the edges. Otherwise it will not swell with changes in humidity or temperature in the room. You can also purchase moisture resistant mdf which is used in bathrooms etc. I'm a carpenter / joiner by trade.

      Hi, The only real drawback of an MDF table is in its performance. Whilst the composite beds produced by factories today are incredibly advanced, and some offer a quality of game that is approaching that of slate, there is still a trade-off between game performance on one hand, and cost/weight on the other. www.libertygames.co.uk/store/pool_tables/buying-advice/mdf-vs-slate-pool-tables/

    There is HUGE difference on how pocket corners are cut. On American pool table there is larger margin for error allowed when playing ball along the rail. On British pool table the ball played along the rail has way much more tendency to not go in. It is very similar how Chinese pool table are built. Chinese pool table is standard tournament 9ft, played with American pool balls, however, the pocket rails are cut like on British pool tables. It means, the pool player on Chinese pool table has to be much more precise, as the pockets are not forgiving anything.
