No, you are mistaken. On a small table, shots are not difficult due to large
distances. They are difficult due to clutter.

I have been wanting a 10 foot snooker table for a long time. That my friend
is the only way to go.

6x12. The largest snooker table is the 6x12 size. It looks like it is about
14 feet and is almost that long when you add in the rails, but it is still
referred to as a 6x12.

Bzzzt. 7x14. It wasn't a modern snooker table, 'twas an antique. (I was
*very* *very* privilidged to be allowed to play on it - I count it among the
signal honors I have been granted) It was (and presumably still is) 7x14 in
table size.

Why not a real 12?
