Regulation size refers to the ratio of the length relative to the width of a pool table, which is a ratio of 2-to-1. It means that the length of the playing field should be twice its width. Since billiards is a game of geometry and angles, this ratio is important to be able to calculate angles while you play. Predator 9ft and 7ft length pool tables are compliant with regulation sizes, giving you a true tournament-grade playing experience at home.
Our 7ft and 9ft pool table height is adjustable with leg levelers and can range from 31 to 33 inches tall.
Yes, the Predator APEX 9-foot Pro pool table is a professional-sized billiard table. It is the most-used pool table in professional competitions worldwide: the official table of the World 8-Ball Championship, the World 10-Ball Championship, and the Predator Pro Billiard Series pro tournaments. It is tournament tested and ready for any professional to practice on or for a great game with friends and family.
The weight of Predator pool tables varies depending on the size and frame construction. Our 7-foot APEX Premier League edition tables weigh around 560 pounds, while our 9-foot APEX Pro pool table weighs around 1200 pounds. The legs should not damage the flooring, but if you have wood flooring, it is best to add a carpet around the table to protect the floor from balls falling off the table.
A drop pocket table is when the ball drops in the pocket upon pocketing and remains in the pocket until the end of the game. Our 9ft APEX Pro tables are drop pocket. A ball return table has an internal system to return the balls to the racking side of the table. When the ball is pocketed, it travels through the inside of the table and then returns to the ball return box, where all the balls can easily be collected for the next rack. Our 7ft APEX tables are equipped with a ball return system.
