Brunette Girl Reveals On The Billiard Table

Pockets
British pool is played with 2" balls as opposed to the 2 1/4" American balls, with British balls generally being colour coded, such as Red/Yellow, Blue/Yellow as opposed to the spots and stripes of American Pool. This difference in ball size requires that the pockets on a British pool table be smaller (the ball size multiplied by 1.6 gives the opening pocket diameter). The pockets, especially the middle pockets, are much more rounded than those of an American pool table, similar to those of a snooker table. This affects the accuracy needed for middle-pocket shots and shots down the cushion into a corner pocket.
