Balls 88 would be a great name for a new ass kicker! LOL! How does it roll?

So thanks to all you guys, I'm now the proud owner of a Gold Crown 3! Mark Gregory and crew came out today and got me all set up and recovered with Tournament Green Simonis 860. I'd like to thank all of yall who chimed in about holding off and waiting on the right table, as well as recommending...

Right outside of Atlanta.

Thanks to this forum, I now have 2 highly recommended mechanics in Georgia keeping an eye out for me! And on my way to Florida this weekend for vacation I'll be out stopping at a pool hall that has one for sale due to a brand changeover to Diamond. Wish me luck!

Agreed! I didn't think there would be many options in my area for a "good" Gold Crown but now that I've made it my main focus, I'm seeing a little more. Plus the fact that Mark Gregory will build me one of his for a little more than my initial budget has me thinking really hard about it!

So, I went home and measured the original game room for the table and its 14'2" x 21'9". I can squeeze an 8 footer in there and be ok. However, I still have the option to swap my home theater room for the game room since they're both side by side and on the same level. The theatre room is 17'11"...

��Me too! Lol!��

Yep, thanks to all of you guys the Connelly is now out of the question! It's Gold Crown or bust for me! Or a Diamond of course but that's wishful thinking in my $3k price range...

Thanks for the lead! Just talked to him and got a good contact on a Gold Crown 4!

Thanks guys! After doing a little research and talking to him on the phone, I now have a much better understanding of who he is and what he's all about!

I haven't measure the full room yet but I will as soon as I get home today. I did lay out the specs of an 8 footer on the floor and walk around it with my cue and I have plenty of clearance. OAN: I missed out by a few days on buying the floor model Diamond table at the same location that has the...

So, I did a quick search on him and got his website pulled up. Texted a quick message to the phone number listed at about 10am this morning and got an immediate reply! Ended up talking on the phone for half an hour about pool. He gave me some great advice and made a huge impression on me. I'm...

Thanks man! I just reached out to him and may go see it tonight. Any advice on what to look out for? Besides it rolling level?

Wow! I had no idea that he was in the area! I'll definitely look him up and reach out today!

Thanks! I'm glad I haven't heard any negatives against the Connelly so far, with the exception of at the price I'm paying I could go up another grand and be in a Gold Crown.

Yep, I saw that one and then an older (1966?) model for $1850. The one for $3850 is nice but, by the time I drop a $300-500 bucks for relo, I'm close to $5k with no warranty.

Thanks, I'd love to go that route and truly believe in the buy once cry once theory! I still have 4 days to countdown. Any good recommendations in the Atlanta area?

I've held out for 2 months of searching on my own with no luck or at least nothing reputable in the area. The bug has got me and the trigger is cocked and ready. On the down side, delivery and install is going to take 5 weeks. So I can still come across a good deal and switch up!

Thanks! I love the big tables but I'm going with an 8 footer. I could squeeze a nine in, but it would make things a little uncomfortable. Plus, every one of my playing pals have 8's. And most places that I shoot at do too.

*Update: The Gold Crown is here! Another "help me buy my pool table" thread... Good evening all! I've been lurking for the last few months and finally found the perfect reason to join the forum and introduce myself. After spending the last 15 years in my first home without a pool table due to...
