$14 an hour!!!!!
Holy crap no wonder rooms are going out of business. I keep hearing of prices in this ridiculous range. I pay anywhere between $1.75 and hour to $4.50 an hour with one place I play as long as I want for $8 which usually works out to a dollar or less an hour.

I agree, $14 per hour is too much. I'd look for another room if you have that option.

I've been playing on my 8' table for quite a while (played on many 9's before), and been scared to see how I would do on a 9'. I f-ing loved it!!!! the pockets were huge and there is sooo much room. The only down side was I found that I had to stretch alot more. I can't wait to go there tomorrow with my cue. Now I just need someone to pay for my table time.(14 dollars an hour
Hey, you're in Boston. Where have you been playing?
You might want to try Country Club up in Chelmsford. There used to be strong action there, probably still is. Weekend rates are cheap, I think.

14$- damn. For 6$ I can play from 8am to 5pm or 1 to 8. Is that the only 9 foot table within 50 miles or something?
My local establishment goes for $3.00 for 11:00 AM through 4:00 PM {or $0.60/hr Mon through Thurs--its a happy hour kind of deal.} Normally the tables are $3.00/hr.
Where I was playing in Florida it was free pool every day until 8 if you bought a drink or food, soda included. They also have a free "buffet" from 4-6 every day. It's really just one item, but it's free nonetheless.
After 8 the rate is $8/hour.
It's in Cape Coral, called Hustlers. Lots of 8-footers, a couple of 9-footers. Pretty well kept for the most part, and it seems they're making more improvements.
i love that deal they got worked out there.
i stopped at a korean pool hall in oakland that was 35 an hour....
14 dollar an hour pool is the reason I bought a 9' table for the house.
My table paid for itself long ago and now the table time is always zilch.

Cheapest I've heard of....
Local Pool Hall open 7 days a week, Noon - 2am.
Noon - 6pm ($6.00) per player... No Hourly charges
After 6pm ($7.00)
Use to be $3.50 an hr. So I stopped going. Apparently so did alot of other people.
Must be the best deal anywhere now though.

I pay $12/hr or $15hr if i dont play for at least 2 hours.. and as others have said, table size and pocket size/pocket angles, etc. are not directly related. Small table, big pockets.. big table, small pockets.. small table, small pockets.. big table, small pockets..
I haven't paid for table time in years. The regulars at my
Local hall don't pay table time.

Clicks in Houston has 4 dollar pool before 4 PM. That is, you pay 4 dollars to play from 11 AM when they open to 4 PM for 4 bucks flat, Monday thru Friday. Basically, it's 5 hours of table time for 4 dollars.
I can't beat that standard rate.

The balls on both 8 and 9 foot tables are normally 2 1/4 inch. No difference as far as I know.
