Looking to purchase a pool table for my home. Need some advice.

What are you boys on about that "lines change"? I've played extensively on 6', 7', 8', OS8', 9', even 10' a few times. The game is the same on any of them. The only difference is for Diamond tables, the cushions result in different angles than all the other brands. (same on 7' or 9' diamond). But that has to do with the cushions, not the table size.

Hmm - you don't find yourself taking different ball paths on a 7 versus a 9? My feel-good stroke might go 3 rails on a 7 foot easily, but on a 9 it might make more sense to go 1 or 2 for lower-risk position.

Looking to purchase a pool table for my home. Need some advice.

I like that home model Brunswick you found. I've played on a bunch of garbage tables over the years, and the really cheap ones are always warped, the pockets fall apart and the balls fly through them when hit hard by a true player, and the tables are very wobbly. I think the Brunswick home model you found won't have any of those issues.

Necessity is the Mother of invention.
Off handed should get a practice.
My off handed development began at an age (uh 10 to 12 years maybe) when I broke my right arm twice. Well left handed was like 🤔 A whole New Piece of Hand. 😉
Not better or worse. Just different. Throwing a baseball was hardest. 🤷‍♂️
My pool playing has proofed the validity as Lefty has only lost once. And that set up a 10 fold winner at next skirmish. 🤷‍♂️

Pool Ball Collecting.

Hello, Princess Bride.

Welcome to AZB and sincere thanks for posting on our collecting thread. It is always great to see a new contributor.

I was honoured and grateful indeed to be invited to join the Billiard Ball Museum enterprise. My role primarily is that of draughtsman. I prepared the technical diagrams required by toolsetters and also drew certificates of authenticity.

I’m long since retired but had worked in the billiard industry thirty-something years ago, owning a cue factory which also wholesaled every type of billiard-related accessory. Having this previous business relationship with certain ball manufacturers was a significant advantage… I had literally bought many thousands of pool ball sets from them during my working career.

At this point, PB, I must choose my words rather carefully because we are bound by a non-disclosure agreement.

Endeavouring to commission high quality pool ball sets in low numbers is an almost impossible task under normal circumstances. We were able to do it due to those existing long-standing contacts, but it was still eye-wateringly expensive and often very stressful. The moulds alone cost the Billiard Ball Museum many thousands of dollars before a single ball was cast. It is very much a labour of love for us and not a profitable venture, but that is okay because we just want to create something special and leave a legacy in the collecting world.

Forgive me for not answering your question about phenolic resin compounds and manufacturers, PB, but we are committed to five limited edition designs to be cast by the end of 2027 and I must honour the confidentiality agreement. I can, however, directly address the subject of a third Billiard Ball Museum launch. It is imminent and will be announced soon.

Romanique 3 owners will be offered first dibs on the thirty available boxes, but there will almost certainly be a few sets on offer to new collectors. If you would like to send me a private message with your contact details, PB, I will be sure to keep you updated.

Best wishes and thank you again.

My largest gain over the shortest time came with $20/hrs paid lessons. One a week with 1 hour per day practice. And NO Gambling for 6 weeks.
Started with The Basics and stance was first.Well after survey. Develop a personal dance but the style that optimized gravity has a longer shelf life. 🤷‍♂️ wink.
I recall the "pump handle stroke " pronounced on Efren when he was steam rolling the money players. Playing back to back sets. He lost one of 10 and it was to Buddy Hall. 🤷‍♂️
