An American table game played in many forms. It uses 16 balls, and a cue similar to that used in billiards and snooker. The most popular form is the variation known as 8-ball pool. The object is to sink all balls of a certain design (usually striped or solid), and then finally the black ball (the No. 8 ball, hence the name). It is played on a table approximately half the size of a standard billiard table, with six round pockets.

Pool Tables Which Type Should You Choose
A pool table is a rectangular table. It has six pockets and consists of cushions bounding the playing area. The standard size of a pool table is 4 1/2 x 9. Wood is the major element in the construction of a pool table. Oak and cherry wood tables are preferred for professional pool players, while plywood or pine is recommended for other customers. The quality of wood contributes to the strength of a pool table.
