7Ft Pool Table with Auto Ball Return – Blue Cloth

Snooker & Pool

A 7 ft pool table with automatic ball return in blue cloth. Measure the room before anything else - you need about 1.5 m clear on every side, which means roughly 4.3 by 3.3 m. A smaller table you can walk around plays far better than a bigger one you cannot.

Highlights

Measure the room first

A cue length of clear space on every side. Not negotiable.

7 ft table

Needs roughly 4.3 by 3.3 m of room. Measure before you buy - this is the mistake that cannot be undone.

Automatic ball return

Potted balls roll to a collection point. Nobody walks round the table between racks.

Levelling is everything

A ball drifting on a slow roll is the table, not the player. Check it with a spirit level.

Humidity is the enemy here

Damp cloth plays slow and heavy, and a swelling frame puts a level table out.

Product description

About this product

Table with Auto Ball – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

A 7 ft pool table with automatic ball return, finished in blue cloth.

Before anything else: measure the room. This is the decision people get wrong, and it is not recoverable. You need about a metre and a half of clear space on every side of the table – the length of a cue plus a bit – or you will be playing shots off the cushion with a short rest all evening. A 7 ft table needs roughly 4.3 by 3.3 m of room. If your space is tight, a smaller table in a room you can walk around plays far better than a bigger one you cannot.

This is the size most homes and small bars can actually accommodate, and the one to choose if the room is anything less than generous.

The automatic ball return sends potted balls through internal channels to a collection point rather than leaving them in the pockets. It sounds like a convenience and it changes the rhythm of a session – nobody walks round the table collecting balls, and racking takes seconds.

Two things matter more than anything else once it is installed. The first is levelling: a ball drifting off line on a slow roll is a table out of level, not a player at fault, and most tables have adjustable feet for exactly this. Check it with a spirit level in several places across the bed when it goes in, and again after any move.

The second is humidity, and it matters more here than in most places. Cloth absorbs moisture and plays slow and heavy when damp, and a wooden frame can swell and shift enough to put a level table out. Keep the room ventilated, keep the table away from open windows and rain, and use a cover. In a coastal house a dehumidifier makes a real difference.

Brush the cloth in one direction with a proper table brush, keep drinks off it, and keep it out of direct sun – UV fades cloth unevenly and there is no undoing it.

Questions

Good to know

What size table should I buy?

Measure the room first, not the table. You need the length of a cue plus a little - about 1.5 m of clear space on every side - or you will be playing awkward shots off the cushion constantly. A 7 ft table needs roughly 4.3 by 3.3 m of room; an 8 ft table needs about 4.7 by 3.5 m. If the room is tight, the smaller table plays far better than a big one you cannot get around.

How important is levelling?

It is the single thing that determines whether a table plays properly. A ball rolling off line on a slow shot is a table out of level, not a player at fault. Check it with a spirit level in several places across the bed, and re-check after the table has been moved or after a long damp spell. Most tables have adjustable feet.

Does humidity affect a table?

Considerably. Slate is fine, but the cloth absorbs moisture and plays slow and heavy when damp, and a wooden frame can swell and shift, which puts a table out of level. Keep the room ventilated, keep the table away from open windows and rain ingress, and use a cover. A dehumidifier makes a real difference in a coastal house.

How should I look after the cloth?

Brush it in one direction, from the baulk end down the table, with a proper table brush - never a household one. Iron it occasionally if you have the right iron. Keep drinks off it, and keep the table out of direct sun, because UV fades cloth unevenly and you cannot undo it.

What does auto ball return mean?

Potted balls roll through internal channels to a collection point at one end of the table rather than staying in the pockets. It saves walking round the table to retrieve balls, and on a table in a bar or a club it is the difference between a quick rack and a slow one.

How heavy is it, and can two people move it?

Pool tables are heavy and the weight is concentrated in the bed. Assume it needs at least two people and plan the route in before it arrives - doorways, stairs and corners are where problems happen. Tell us the access situation when you order and we will talk it through.

What are the standard ball sizes?

Three sets in common use. American pool uses 57.2 mm (2.25 in) balls. British pub pool uses 50.8 mm (2 in). Snooker uses 52.5 mm. They are not interchangeable - the pockets, the rack and the table are all built around one size, and a set of the wrong balls will not rack or pot properly.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. A table is a heavy two-person item, so tell us when you order and we will arrange the right transport and talk through access.
