Did we solve your problem today?

You need clear space around a pool table to swing a cue from every angle.

The math behind it

Add two cue lengths to each table dimension (one for each side) to find the minimum room size.

100×50" table with 58" cues → about 18 ft × 13.8 ft room.

Can I use a shorter cue?

Yes — a shorter cue reduces the clearance needed in tight rooms.
