working on it... give me a day (at most) I am assuming an 18 week season...

The Standards... or Jazz! XM 73... XM 71.... Occasionally, XM 4 or XM 7 Love the standards! Sinatra rocks! well.... gotta have a Zeppelin fix now and then too.... or the Violent Femmes to round things out!

One more note regarding the glass. My friend with the sledgehammer break had it leave the table on him once but it didn't make it to the glass. In another game, he had a jump shot to make. He encouraged me to stand in front of the glass just in case. I told him to go ahead and shoot it. The...

The table is in! We installed the pool table on Saturday. Based largely on recommendations and comments from this forum, I decided to move the table back towards the center by another inch. The final offsets are 4'5" between the southern edge of the playing surface and the wall with the...

I post the before and after for my room just as soon as I get the table up! Hopefully within two weeks!

Make it as large as you can afford. 20x20 gives you some room on the sides for furniture, but the focus is 100% on the table in the middle when you do that. 20x24 or larger would be better. I know I am squeezing mine in where I can, but I used to have my table in a 20x20 room... and even with...

That's definately going on the list of house rules! along with: don't sit on the table, no food, no drink and nobody goes into the bar w/o permission! LOL!

Awesome report Phillip! That is exactly the post that I have been waiting for! Somebody who had the same (or very similar situation) and decided to put it in offset toward the window/door. That gives me confidence that I am doing the right thing! Was it about 5% in your experience with this...

I've already prepared myself by purchasing a couple of short players cues (a 48" and a 52") to use when it gets tight! I am getting a lot of feedback saying that I just just center the table and live with occasional short cue shots on both sides. Ugh! I just don't know! I am thinking that I...

Hi all! I posted this in another forum a week or two ago, but would reallt appreciate some additional feedback if anyone has experience with a similar situation, as I have to decide in the next 3 or 4 days where the table is going to be set up with respect to offsets from the walls: I am...
