What Size Carom Table Is Right For My Room?

Before you buy, make sure your room can handle the table — and the cue. Carom tables have no pockets, so every shot plays off the rails, and the table runs longer relative to its width than a pool table. The space you need is the table's playing surface plus full cue clearance on every side. Here's how to measure it.

Room Dimensions And Table Size

A carom table is longer and narrower than a pool table of the same class, with no pockets to interrupt rail-first shots. Below is the overall footprint, playing surface, and room size required with a standard 58-inch cue.

Carom Table Size Questions

Predator's Carom table plays at true 10-foot regulation dimensions, with a 112" x 56" playing surface. As a guide, you'll want roughly 19' x 14' 4" of room with a standard 58" cue. If your room is tight, a shorter 52" cue reduces the space required.

The regulation, tournament-standard carom (3-cushion) table plays at 10 feet, with a playing surface of 112" x 56" — larger than a 9-foot pool table's 100" x 50" surface, even though both are labeled by nominal foot size

A carom table has no pockets — every shot is played off the rails rather than potted, which is why the game is also called 3-cushion billiards. Carom tables also run proportionally longer and narrower than pool tables, and use different balls (no numbered object balls, no cue-ball pockets to sink into).

Allow the length of your cue on every side so you can stroke from any angle. With a standard 58" cue, that's roughly 5 feet of clearance beyond the table on all sides. Short 52" cues reduce this if space is limited.

Predator's Carom table has a playing surface of 112" x 56" and an overall footprint of approximately 124.2" x 68.2". Add cue clearance on all sides to get the full room requirement.

A regulation carom table needs a larger footprint than a pool table, so it's worth measuring carefully before buying. Using a shorter 52" cue can save roughly 6 inches of clearance on each dimension if your room is tight.
