10 weird-shaped pool tables
After seeing that there’s such thing as an L-shaped pool table recently, I wondered what other billiardy nonsense was out there. Here are the results of a few minutes of Googling…
L-shaped
Circular
Triangle
Elongated
Elongated Octagon
Y-shaped
Zig-zag
Hexagonal
Speedboat
Coffin

I am quite certain that I would suck at pool equally bad on any of these as I do a standard pool table. It sad, I know, but I take solace in the knowledge that after a game with me even the good players start to suck too. I just seem to have that effect on people. ;)
Don’t forget the octagon-shaped bumper pool table. ;-)
I like the boat shaped one
On one of his comedy albums from the 1960s, Andy Griffith had a talk about a “Round Pool Table, One Foot High, Covered In A Leopard Skin.”
