Snooker & Carom Tables
Snooker and carom billiards are two of the most important cue sports in Europe. Each game needs a different table. Here you can compare both. See snooker tables: full-size snooker tables in the official 12ft size, and compact snooker tables. See also carom tables in the official 10ft size for three-cushion and straight rail.

FAQ
About Snooker & Carom Tables
Snooker is played with 22 balls and pockets on a 12ft table, while carom (carambole) uses just three balls on a pocketless 10ft table and is scored by cushion contact rather than potting.
Most players find snooker more approachable to start since potting is intuitive; carom takes longer to learn because success depends entirely on angle and cushion control.
It depends on available space — a 12ft snooker table needs more room than a 10ft carom table. Compare footprints on the Snooker Tables 12ft and Carom Tables 10ft collections.
