Bad home table

[Zerksies]

I was at a party over a friends house over the weekend and the homes table was SO BAD. It was a no name 8 footer, table wasn't level, cloth was loose, Animal hair on the table. Cue tips were hard and didn't hold chalk. It was amazing that i could run four balls.

I've mentioned it on here before, but when my kids were elementary age and we had kids parties, it was always surprising to me how many other homes had pool tables.

Tables all sucked and I never hit a ball at a single one but I woulda given the 8 to any of them people.

I don’t bother playing if the conditions are not decent.
Why suffer while doing things that you love?

I guess I am getting to be a pool snob. I don't enjoy playing on bad equipment. I also get bothered with people that don't take care of their stuff.

Same here.
I’ve been playing in an 8ball league at this pretty big pool hall that is far from perfect conditions but was tolerable for a while, last 6 months they really let the place go.
I decided to quit the league and stop going there.
Businesses should respect their patrons a bit more to take my money.

Truth.

I always say any pool is better than no pool and I may have to revisit that declaration.

The local hall near me used to be an absolute POS. I never could understand why people would play there. They did finally move to all Diamonds but their food still sucks.

That certainly should be a thing.

The vast majority of home tables(chinese imports) are there just for looks. They get used more for storage than for pool.

they are just knock around toys for their kids. they are not pool players so any table is just a table.

a basketball fanatic would feel the same way with someone's hoop at 8 feet on their garage with no net. yet the kids have fun and play basketball.

Excellent laundry tables.
