Gabriels used to make a table that converted fairly easily. The rails were attached by very strong magnets so there were not bolts to tighten. Chevillotte also made a convertible table, IIRC. I can't find a convertible table on either site, but they might have one in stock.Another question:
1) How much of a disadvantage would I be at if I purchased a 9' carom table instead of a 10'
2) Does there exist high quality tables that convert between carom and pool easily?
(wife's questions)
I must incourage small game play as well
Do you only play one pool game? I doubt it
Play 1 cushion, play straight rail
Youll find them much more difficult than you think
And a ball polisher is essential, the balls start slowing down after a few hrs of play,
They MUST be kept clean, and they MUST be polished to play Carom,
I can't stress this enough for anyone getting into Carom and getting a table
At the billiard hall they swap out ball sets after each game
Vacuuming the cloth is also needed regularly, I do it once a week and keep my table covered, Russian magic chalk is super clean, not like master that gets and stays on everything but the tip
Tmi, prolly
I'd own a 9 footer all damn day if it's all I could fit.
