In the technical game of billiards that involves many angles and a great deal of discipline, understanding the geometry is an important part. A true regulation-size billiard table is about 4 1/2 feet off the ground and the surface measuring about 50 by 100 inches. The angles of the corner pockets that you will be aiming for should be roughly 142 degrees, and the side pocket angles sit at about 103 degrees. When it comes to the cue, it should have a 14mm wide tip, 40 inches long and weigh 25 ounces and the billiard ball should be around 5.5 to 6 ounces in weight and be 2 1/4" in diameter. Apart from these you need to see that the playing surface of the billiards table is flat, slightly elevated (between .20 and .40 inches), and buffered lightly to give the ball a little "English" when it is hit just right.
