Thanks for all the responses. I've also been reading more here and on-line. Have a couple more questions. They say there's no such thing as a 'stupid' question...not so sure about that... :grin: BCA rules questions: 9-Ball I'm not seeing anywhere in the BCA rule book that states 9-ball is a...

What rules do most people go with for general home play? Obviously best to clarify at the start of play but still curious as to what rules the 'general' public are most accustomed to; APA or BCA?

Yeah, that would be nice - I showed her a swatch of the Tourney Blue; that's not happening... :eek: However; I'm also thinking of going with 860 in the Blue-Green. She likes that color and it's lighter than the Dark Green.

8.5' Olhausen. Ignore the cloth color; left over from table purchase / move - plan on changing after we determine color for cloth and room walls.

Do you think we'll regret Dark Green over Tournament / Championship Green? Probably going with either 3030 TE or Proform. Table is in our main room and my wife does not like the brighter green; and yes, she will have a say... :rolleyes: Table is in a room with a 12' ceiling and without a...

Thanks for the replies. I'm still looking to 'poor boy' as much as possible but also looking for descent house guys both in form & function. As previously mentioned I'll have friends over that aren't tourney players but aren't exactly bangers either. Cues to be stored on a wall rack in an...

Found a nice deal on an oversized 8' Olhausen table for the house. My wife and I have our cues but the cues that came with the table are warped pretty bad and need to get some house cues for friends when they come over - most are bangers with a few who play more than others. Looking for decent...

Perfect - Thanks JB

What's a good website for comparing & contrasting different table styles / wood stains / cloth colors? Even better would be a site that allowed you to modify the basic room surroundings / colors.

Found a 10 yr old Brunwick Madison. Is this a decent table? I see the leg / frame connection point is with a metal bracket. Should I be concerned about too much flex at the legs from the metal brackets? Thoughts on this one? 'Asking' $900. We like the look of the table but the look of the...

Stopped and looked at the table by Skip Gaston. Divorce selling and not quite the same as in the ad (not even the same pic). I honestly don't think she was trying to be deceptive; this was her husbands table and don't think she really has a clue. Pics attached; let me know if this looks like a...

Follow-up: Not an Imperial - Skip Gaston built I acquired more info talking to a local mechanic and finally able to talk to the owner again. This table was built buy a guy named Skip Gaston out of Rowlett Texas. According to the mechanic he built pretty nice tables; progressively better during...

Some battles are worth the fight; others...not so much:rolleyes:

Thanks for the lead on the Connelly. I like but the wife is not wild about the color; we'll look at it in person and go from there.

I can appreciate the GC; 'form follows function'. I realize that can be rebuilt to a beautiful table but the wife is set on a furniture style table as this will be in our main room of the house.
