From Easy Pool Tudor:
- You must allow for the length of the cue stick AND an extra 6inches (at least) for a comfortable stroke.
- Add this number to the width and length of your tables' playing area.
The tables' playing area is measured from from the inside edge of the cushion to the opposite inside edge of the cushion. An illustration of what a "playing area" is is shown below. The line with the caption "B" is the width and the line with caption "A" is the height of the playing area.
