There is only one mark to place on a pool table and it is found the same way regardless of table size. The foot spot needs to be marked to indicate where the apex of the racked balls must be placed.

The foot spot is located at the intersection of 2 imaginary lines. The first is along the center of the table, lengthwise, from center diamond to center diamond. The second line is between the second diamonds on each side rail. Tape a piece of string along each of these lines to be accurate. Where the 2 lines intersect, place the foot spot.

There is only one mark on a pool table and its location is the same regardless of the size. The foot spot should be marked with a dot to idenitfy where the apex of the racked balls needs to be placed.

This spot is located at the intersection of 2 maginary lines - one down the center of the table, length wise. The other is the imaginary line extending between the second diamond on the rails at the foot of the table.

The 8 foot table has a playing surface of 88 inches by 44 inches. With a 58 inch cue, a shot can be made with just a couple more inches, although not very desirable. The absolute minimum should be considered 60 inches all around. So, 120+88 = 208 inches and 120+44 = 164 inches. Converted to feet this is 17 feet 4 inches by 13 feet 8 inches. You can cheat a little by getting a 40 inch shorty stick if you cannot quite make the full area required. This can allow to be a foot closer in every direciton, but takes away from normal game play.

What size should your room be to have a pool table?

The thing about having a pool table is having room to play with it. Picture you bending down to hit the ball. You have to make sure you have enough room. You can do that by stretching your arms width apart. If you have enough room from the table to the wall than your pretty much good. I'm not saying like a good 6 ft. apart. Maybe about 3 to 4 ft. Don't be disappointed you will probably have enough room. And also it depends on the size of the table.
