American Pool in Edinburgh | Marcos Pool Hall & Pizza Bar

Q: What is American Pool?

American Pool is one of the most popular sports in the world. American Pool Tables are bigger than British Pool Tables, ours are 9ft Professional. The cloth is much faster, the pockets are bigger and it is much easier to play, hence why it is hugely popular for all ages and skills.

What is American pool? It is a group of cue sports games played on an American-style table and with American-style numbered balls. The balls are slightly larger than traditional British balls, requiring larger pockets to accommodate them. American tables also include diamond system markings on the rails. American-style pool is now the world standard for competitive billiards.

Here at Marcos, we have 19 American-style Edinburgh pool tables manufactured by SAM Leisure. Our K-Steel slate bed 9-foot American pool tables are the best money can buy, and we are proud to offer our customers the opportunity to play them. Each of the tables has been fitted with professional K-55 billiard rubber rail cushions for the most consistent ball response. These cushions are as good as anything you will find on a professional snooker table.

The tables are covered with top-of-the-line Hainsworth Elite Pro Cloth. Ours are fitted with banker’s grey on the beds and black on the rail cushions. Hainsworth Elite is an exceptional cloth that is very fine and fade resistant. It is also a high-speed cloth ideal for tournaments and league play.
