Thoughts? Anything I should be weary of?
I will eventually change the cloth and rails later on.

Seller is offering $1,500 including delivery and installation. 3-piece slate.

I can also just purchase the table alone and have it installed by a reputable mechanic. But I'm not sure if that will reduce the price or not, I have to find out. Seller is saying payment is not due until installation is complete.

Keep in mind, if your going to play leagues it's always 7', and sometimes the smaller ones.
Purchased new. Cougar 93' home with ball return. $2,000 or I'll store it.

I'm looking to pull the trigger and finally buy a pool table. However, I'm not willing to dish out the funds for a Diamond at the moment.

I've been scouring Facebook marketplace for tables in Colorado but all I'm seeing is furniture style tables that are meant for casuals and not a competitive player.

My loft only has room for a 7ft or 8ft, as a 9ft would force me to use a short cue which I don't want to do. 9ft is out of the question.

My question is: when it comes to home tables, which brand would you recommend or think is the best? I will eventually change the felt and rails to reduce the pocket size to play a little tougher than the buckets they come with.

The 4 at the top of my list are Brunswick, Connelly, Olhausen and AMF Playmaster. Which one of these would be easier to customize to make them play tougher for competitive practice?

Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated, th

MR is getting a great deal of useful feedback about the $30 PPV, mostly from wnttv.com subscribers. Or, rather, former subscribers. ;)

I get the complaints about sporadic service for viewers. I also get the complaint from subscribers such as myself about a pay-per-view fee. To me, $30 was too high. I might have sprung for $10 or $15.

What I don't get, is the complaint about PPV in general. Longstanding tradition on cable, especially for sports such as boxing.

I have no problem with MR trying to make money and to appeal to viewers with something different. Pool promoters need to make more money for the good of the sport. I know you know that, Bob, even if most miserly pool fans do not. The sport has such cheapo fans!

The only quibble I had was with the price, though spotty WNT TV service would have enraged me!

Fedor Gorst - looking for action in Louisville, KY tomorrow. If you could - would you?

I understand everyone's perspective - was just sharing mine. Granted Sky and Fedor are different people but I'm basing my expectation on what happened with one and I'd articulate that with the other if the opportunity came up. If I lost a a $100.00 set to Fedor and got nothing from it, no guidance/advice/thoughts post set and didn't think it was worth it, then I'd pull up and pay him $100.00 and walk away - so be it. Let's face it, $100.00 doesn't have the buying power it used to so losing it isn't going to break me or piss me off - it's just what it cost me to play. Now if I took as much away from that set as I did from Sky, then I'd play another on the same terms. It's all personal preference and depends on the situation and how it plays out, but I understand and appreciate everyone's perspective as no one's wrong in what they said.
