How do you determine how big your pool table is and measure for the correct felt size?
One of the first steps involved in purchasing the correct pool table cloth and accessories is to correctly determine your pool table size.
Because of differences with cabinet styles and sizes, you cannot tell the size of a table by measuring the outside length and width of the cabinet.
The easiest way to determine size is to measure the playfield width from the inside tip of one rubber bumper to the inside tip of the opposite rubber bumper. This would effectively be the width and length of your actual playing surface. Use the chart and diagram to determine the correct size with your measurements.
