I would love to play on 9ft tables, unfortunately the closest place is 30 miles away and I would not be able to play everyday, most leagues are on bar tables, so the decision is play pool on a bar table or don't play......

I have 5 places to go to within 40 miles that have all 9ft tables. I only go on Fridays to play and they have a 3hr deal for $8/player. Most days 5-6 tables are going and winner stays on and losers move to the next open table. It's mostly old guys playing 8-ball and I usually only play 9-ball with one of the old guys. Last week I got a chuckle and 4 tables switched to 9-ball.

who uses tape measures

Of all the things involved with executing a good stroke I think my shoulder would be one of the last things I'd worry about, lol.

Pay attention to what goes on in front of you.

I am fortunate to have access to 9 ft tables locally, and I'm realizing it is something to be appreciated due to the fact that not everybody has access to them. A 9 ft table sure is a helper in developing your stroke and shot making. A lot of folks play on the 9-ft tables prior to League Play, and then go to the 7-foot tables for league and shoot lights out. When I go from a 9-ft table to a 7 ft table it feels a bit like playing on a toy. If I were younger again, I would definitely find a way to buy a 9-ft table for home use. If a person has enough money, they could build a garage that would have the extra room to put a table into.

Didn't think so. No biggie. I'm only concerned with the pool.
Lack the space or the scratch too; speaking of free space...

As I said, the ball measuring system.

I placed two balls in the pockets up against the facings. They had about 1/8 of an inch to spare. Which led me to believe they were not 4.75 inch pockets. Same way with the side pockets.

The Rasson tables are pretty good for the money. The Acurra is reasonably priced, looks nice and plays well. I have sold those to several pool halls.

olhausen are very well made tables and look good in a home. since when you buy you are going to be putting on the cloth fix the rattle issue that bothers many.
they are cheaper than diamonds and brunswick. look better in your home. and can be found easily used from others that didnt use their home table or are moving for great prices.

Hi, newbie from CO here. For right now I am interested in getting help identifying this cue. Can't find any manufacturer markings. Is there a better forum for getting help identifying cues?

The Joss Northeast 9 Ball Tour cue is still available at a great price. Predator Uniloc weight bolt kit is has been sold.
