So I’m getting ready to jump into straight pool and just wanted to make sure I am correct on the standard table markings. It’s a bit harder to find a diagram on Google than I thought. Anyway, these are the markings I’m aware of:
- Outline of the triangle, on the outside of the rack;
- Straight line down from foot spot to middle diamond of end rail;
- Straight line between second diamonds of long rails through what would be head spot (I don’t have one, but where it would be) to mark the kitchen. I’ve never really felt like it was especially difficult to figure out where the kitchen is so this may be more optional.
I’ve gotten a Dritz tailor pencil, as recommended by Bob Jewett and some others, to do the marking.
Am I missing anything?
