Half a full sized snooker table

[msrysa1]

I would love to have a full sized snooker table in my home. However I do not have the room. I would like to recreate as much the angles and pocket size of a full sized table so was thinking of a full sized table but only half of it. It would then be possible to at least practice routines around the red area of the table. Has anyone ever seen such a table?

I was only thinking this to myself last night. Don't know if they make them tho

I had the same thought once before I only needs to be just over 1/2 the length to accommodate the middle pockets in their usual alignment (on the side cushions) to allow you to pot balls 'back' toward the middle as you might sometimes have to do in and around the black spot. You'd have to play to not run into the fake bottom cushion, or rely on coming off it in any way. But, otherwise I reckon it could work.

Sounds like a great idea to me. I would be the first to buy one for sure

So i guess u would need room for 6ft by maybe 6 and a half ft. Which means u would need probably about a 16 by 14 room ??

The only thing it would not really give you is shots where you are stretching because it would be difficult to set up a meaningful shot which would require that stance.

Yeh true. It would be great for technique training tho and black ball potting. U could get on that a couple of hours a day and just pot reds around the black. that would be sufficiant for me

True.

And then, in fact, you could perhaps accommodate such a table with a slightly smaller room. You could have a three-quarter-length table with the 'fake' end against a wall of the room. That would still enable various practice routines but you would only need about 13-foot of room length for 9 feet of table.

That would be a great 2 have and good 4 practice so if there is such a thing id get 1

I have often thought of this, and then thought I was just being stupid. I do like the idea of it going just above the centre pockets so you could still play onto the blue.
Lets face it very little play in the modern game happens at tha baulk end, so for break building practice around the black and pink is it needed...

I has the same thought - maybe just using two slates - full size tables can be bought cheap - just butcher two cushions.

Then the wife just said "don't be so lazy - just go to the club".
