I have decided to take the leap and purchase a billiard (pocketless) table and had some questions: Unfortunately, I only have room for a 9' table. I am looking at a Gold Crown, mainly because I can (would think I want to) purchase an apron and convert the table to a pocketed one, should I wish to do so at a later point.
As far as going back and forth, how does the fact that the cloth for pool vs. billiards is so different affect the swap? Is there the possibility that I could actually play both games on the same bed, or am I hoping for something impossible?
How do gold crowns measure up to true 3c tables? Would I be able to use the standard size billiard balls or does the cushion/ nose height dictate I use balls that are normal pool ball size?
Finally, does anyone know if there is a US distributor for these tables (Hollywood Billiard Tables)?:
http://www.kobill.co.kr/en/product/carom/focus_e/01.php I particualrly like the model linked, played on a couple of the others and each was good enough for me ...
A few of the local places here have them and I would be very happy with one in my home. Heck, better yet, anyone know of a used one for sale?! I have tried to ask the rooms around me if they have any extras in storage, but the language barrier prevents my point from getting across...
I am sure I will have more questions as I continue the quest- all input appreciated!!
