Bumper Pool Tables are
a great addition to any game or recreation room even
if you already own a pool table. A regulation size
bumper pool table is 32" x 48" with a 3/4" of slate
and an average weight of about 350 pounds. The game
is typically played on an octagonal or rectangular
shaped table with 12, 14 or 16 bumpers obstructing a
clear path to your opponents pocket.
Each opponent has a set of 5 like colored balls
either red or white, and attempts to sink each of
their corresponding balls into the pocket of your
opponent. There is no cue ball, and each ball may be
struck directly. One of the 5 colored balls is
marked, generally with a dot of the opposing color,
and must be made before any of the remaining 4 balls
may be shot.
