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

It would difficult to test the table as it has been moved and most likely not level. How old is the table... I'd be concerned with the cushions...
Yeah the table is currently disassembled in storage, but I found reputable installer who will be replacing the cushions at a later date. And level it properly if the seller does a bad job.
 
Appreciate all your help guys, ya'll are awesome.

I will post pics once everything is complete and my man-cave is ready!

Should be delivered and installed by the 27th.

What if I break 50 times and don't get any good layouts? Sad boy hours.
 
My first question is how can you be the house pro in your own house when you don't have a table? 🤷‍♂️.

Find an 8' Anniversary or a 7' Diamond, although I've never had a bad time playing on a valley bar box

Furniture tables never feel like "real" tables. IMHO
Even with Simonis cloth and new rails, furniture tables never feel like real tables? That's unfortunate, I've never played on one. But still excited nonetheless, a table is better than no table I guess.

And I'm the house pro in any home I'm in, table or not :ROFLMAO: It's more of a mindset lol, not actual playing skill.

You'll get everything worked out and enjoy it. I'm the farthest thing from an expert but learn as I go along. You'll get great support here.

Thank you sir!

It sucks playing in the occasional tournaments that are weeks apart and not having enough time to practice before hand. So this will help keep me in stroke and hopefully have an advantage over other players. I usually take like 2-3 weeks off with no playing and then enter a tourney cold turkey, with no practice. I usually play well at first (even breaking and running the first rack), but later on in the night my mechanics seem to falter due to not practicing enough and creates a lack of confidence. I'm hoping having a table at home will keep my stroke arm warmed up at all times and I should be firing on all cylinders when it is time for a tourney. I don't play leagues or bar table 8ball.

Makes a huge difference

Just get the disassembled table to your house & have Ryan put it together. He will be able to tell if anything is missing & assemble the table properly the first go around.
 
My GC4... I swear the corners were 5.25.

This one's close.

I was still able to miss. :ROFLMAO:
 
If you play on 7 footers, buy a 7 footer. Lots of Valleys out there. Get new cushions and cloth, even tighten the pockets a little. You can get a table for under a grand and for well under 2k have a pretty sweet bar box.

8 foot tables there are many pretty furniture tables that the wife will like. They won't ever play like a heavy commercial table. If you go that route find a good name, Olhausen, Connelly and better Brunswicks. Avoid Chinese trash.
 
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
Max $2K most likely.
Chris pm me, I'm moving have to sell my new 7' Valley. I'm including ball set, polisher and light. I don't want to store it. $2K has got em knocking, just listed it. I live in Florence CO 40 miles south of Colorado Springs. Cloth is still great.

I am thinking of pulling the trigger on this:


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.
