Despite the similarities, a snooker table and a pool table are quite different. Both games have their own rules and cues, as well as different balls. But, the biggest difference is that a snooker table is typically larger than a pool table. Pool tables are typically smaller, measuring eight to ninefeet in length and ninefeet in width. These tables are covered with green felt. Snooker tables on the other side are typically 12 feet long by 6 feet wide. Generally, a snooker table has more pockets and smaller balls.
Snooker, while both games are two-to-one in length and width respectively, requires more skill than pool. For example, snooker players have more to focus on the positioning of their shots. Also, it's more difficult to snooker-pot snooker balls. The balls used for snooker measure approximately 5.3cm in diameter. This is slightly smaller than the pool cue balls. They can be numbered and put in pockets. For snooker, there are two balls with numbers. Pool players use nine balls.

An L-shaped profile is used for snooker tables. Six pockets are found on a snooker board. A standard size pocket is about 12 cm in diameter and 13 cm at the mouth. A pool table pocket is usually about 2 mm larger than the balls. A typical snooker pocket has a slightly curved lead. The long, curving strut of the pocket lead extends to the table's floor. The lead length for a pool table is usually shorter, while the profile of the rail cushion is slightly different.
Pool balls are usually 5.7 to 6.0 cm in diameter. They are colored and have numbers. Snookerballs are red and yellow. The snooker balls can serve as strikers, so it's more difficult to spot one than a pool or table ball. The ball is marked by players using spots and stripes. Snooker balls are not scored in frames, as is the case with pool.
