It was recently brought to our attention that
our last room size chart was in accurate.
That chart, and many more like it on the web did not consider the distance
(3-5") needed for one to
"stroke the cue ball,"
if the cue ball was on the rail and you had to shoot straight ahead..
I suggest that if you ALWAYS want to use a standard
sized cue (usually 58") and NEVER want to ever use a short cue, you can
easily figure the minimum room size your self.
1.Get the exact length and width of the pool table in
inches (not the playing surface,
but the actual length and width)
then add 118" to the length and 118" to the width.
Then divide the length by 12 and the width by 12 and you
will have the minimum required space, including enough room to stroke your shot
without ever having to use a short cue.
Also consider any poles, staircases, heaters or furniture
that may also be a determining factor.
