I asked a different variation of this question in the main forum ( https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/one-import-table-vs-another.543971/ ) and someone suggested I repost here. It was a great call, but rather than repeat the same question, I'll rephrase it to focus more on the Mechanics...

Oh darn....you're right. I should have. Gotta remember that for next time. Thanks! Maybe I'll rephrase the question and focus less on playability and more on construction and add a second one there, if that's not a faux pas. I'd love to stay below 4k all in if I could, but recognize I...

Hey folks, Was gonna get a Gold Crown, but I added a bar area to my basement and now I truly can't fit a 9', so I gotta go 8'. I've watched the used market for months and months and nothing I like/want is coming up (in all fairness, I'm picky on style). Anyways, I played on a Brunswick...

Good tip! Thank you!

Well, I think it would be the difference of a shortie every full moon vs once every sunset, but seems like most seem to agree that's still at a tolerable level, so I'm glad to hear.

I doubt I'd end up joining a league, but you know...who can predict 15 years down the road. I'm with ya...I don't wanna go lower than an 8'. Plenty of room length-wise, so a 9' is no issue there. I'll have 10'-15' to spare. Just width is the issue. From this thread though, I'm starting to...

Thanks. I had looked into it at the beginning stage of the project. It's deceiving though. Normally, columns are in the center. The way my house is shaped though, the room over the opposite side of the columns is only one story. But the wall that the lally columns are supporting is actually...

Awesome! Thank you! And I never knew that. Good to know!

Oh darn, yes that was a mistake. Mistook "room owner" to mean something else. I'll email a mod and see if it can be moved. Thanks

They're metal. Unfortunately I haven't had enough experience to know how frequently it would occur, but from a pure math stand point, if we assume the bad region is 6" x 6" around each pole, and on a 9' table there are 40 squared feet of playing surface, then 1 of 40 regions are bad or 2.5%...

I should check too. Am I right in my assumption that while with an 8' or OS 8' it will be rare, but with a 9' however it would be semi-common (to have to use a shorty)? It leaves 51.5" for the 9' on the column side (5' on the other). I'm assuming its once every other game? I'm not really too...

Thanks for all the thoughts! You've sold me, I'm just trying to make it happen now. I also posted a question here to see if maybe I should just get the 9' GC instead and deal with a shortie (if I give up on finding the OS 8' GC). Seemed like it deserved its own thread since it's OT and...

Hey folks, I asked this a month ago on reddit and I was surprised by the responses so I'm interested in hearing thoughts from this forum as well. I'm finishing my basement and adding a pool table. My budget is around 4k, give or take. I'm only a casual player, but love the game and plan to...

It's very tempting. Wife agreed to the GC and has grown a liking to the look, but finding an 8' is proving difficult (re: impossible). I called one place that had 2 GC IV's online about 10 hours away that were 8' OS. Said he sold both of them for $9500. By me the GC's go for 1/2 that at top...

Did they make a straight 8' GC? Since I've been searching (a few months) I've only come across one 8' GC but it was an oversized 8'. My basement is large but I've got 3 lally columns that divide it into 2 sides. Two of those lally columns are gonna interfere at times. I'll just have to get a...

Yeah, I've been looking for a while. In about 3 months time, I've only come across one 8' GC III near me, but it was an oversized which is probably pushing it over the edge for my room. The 9's go for 3k delivered and installed near me in decent shape or 4k restored, so it's similar ballpark...

Hey folks, Buying my first table and going for an 8' as anything larger will be tight for the room. Used market around me doesn't have much that I'm in love with, so think I'm going new. My budget with delivery and install is at the 3.5k mark ideally +350 for some 860 felt. There is some...
