snooker tables

Green felt surfaces

Snooker tables are the large, baize-covered playing surfaces used for snooker, a cue sport.

They're bigger than pool tables—typically twelve feet by six—with tighter pockets and finer cloth that allows for precise ball control.

The green felt surface has become iconic: The snooker table dominated the back room of the pub.
