All About Pool Tables

Hi! I'm Michael Lamendola with expertvillage.com and today we are going to shoot some pool. See we are at beautiful downtown Burbank at beautiful Fantasia Billiards and what we have here is a 9 foot long table. Tables come in a few different sizes basically 7 ft, 8 ft and 9 ft. This is your longest one you are going to find. Now if you go to a bar, you are going to find 7 foot tables; those are a little bit shorter. That's good because you've got less room too go in the for the ___ pockets. That's bad because all your balls have less places to go. Now let me tell you why I like this pool table in particular. When you go to a bar, you've got to put quarters in it. Here you don't have to. You have to rent the table but the best part is at the bar when the ball goes into the pocket, it rolls down and never comes out again. Here you can take it back out. This is your basic 6 pocket table. What you have here are a bunch of dots. These dots are evenly spaced all throughout the table and kind of give you a reference as to where to shoot when you are making your more complicated shots. That is basically all there is to it. This is your basic pool table.
