What is this table called? It looks similar to 'bumper pool' in america. But looks like a bigger table and the pockets are a little different. What is the dimension of the playing surface?

[@jordyknaller6588]

It’s the same as bumperpool but u can score directly, the bumpers at the pocket are way narrower than american bumperpool

[@MrTrashcan1]

@@jordyknaller6588 It's not that you CAN score directly--you can ONLY score directly. Note that no one ever scores off a cushion or a bumper. In the US you can score via bank shot or directly.

[@MrTrashcan1]

Table is about 6 x 3 whereas in US it's about 4 x 3. Bumpers are smaller than most tables in US. There is no spotted ball--after the initial shot you can shoot whatever you like. You can't score off a cushion or bumper--only directly. Notice how they bank to get to the edge of the hole but never sink it.

@@MrTrashcan1 You are allowed to score through the cushion, almost not doable, but it's possible. Same with bumper btw

[@MrTrashcan1]

@@wukong773 Thank you for that clarification. Just seems that with their degree of skill they could bank off the bumper directly opposite the hole and score, since it's a straight approach. I guess it's easier said than done.
