Which ever one will make you wake up
at 2:37am, hit that shot you were dreaming
about 4 or 5 times, then head back to bed.

You got the right answer first crack out of the box! Something else might be possible though. I have seen tables set up for carom with just the edges of pockets peeking out from the cushions. Not enough for a ball to hang on though. A carom table that could relatively quickly convert to a snooker or pool table might be just the ticket if neither has a clear advantage in your mind. A heated table with thick slates might make an awesome pool or snooker table and still convert to carom.

This is the answer for sure! Well said
Buy an air hockey table and never second guess pool or carom table.
You just like using your keyboard, huh?
just a little humor.
Is the carom table going to be a 10'heated table?
If not, no carom table.
If not, no carom table.
10 ft will fit.
Why not 9ft? Why not Royal Pro unheated? Why do I need pro conditions?
If I had a Carom table instead of a pool table I don't think it would get used as much as my pool table. Reason being is that if I had equal interest in Carom and pool (I would certainly like to try it out for a day or so) I do not know anyone else who is, it can get boring if you only play by yourself all the time.
Why not a barbox then?
Seriously: if you can't do a 10' modern carom table, don't bother. If 9 is as big as you can go, stick to pool table.
My 9ft unheated carom table is fast as heck plays fine to me, actually prefer it over the modern 10ft 3c trendy ice hockey tables
fits right in the ol living room
costed about 3-4times less too

I think same..
Really...?? 50mins old and no one has jumped on this?
if it takes you 50 mins you might want to seek a helping hand
If you want to have friends play at your home, go with pool not billiards.
I am a 3 cushion player and most pool players really suck at the game.
They don’t recognize shot patterns, hit the CB too hard & use too much
English. You will be teaching people how to play more than actually play.

Agreed: a carom table will be somewhat of a novelty.
Great game, far more obscure than pool in the USA though.
