Ok I've known about it since March (found out the day before I left for the Super Billiards Expo) that I had to move to Houston. Drove down from Pittsburgh this week and now I live in Cinco Ranch, Katy TX!

So where is the closest pool room to me that has 9ft Diamond Tables? Seems like over the past 5 months there is always something going on in/around Houston.

Please supply specific address that goes into the Garmin GPS. Right now I don't know where the hell I'm going.......but I did manage to get to the EZ Tag store.

Appreciate any help/advice about the pool rooms.

You live just around the corner, so to speak. There really aren't a lot of 9-footers in Texas believe it or not. The closest place to me is about 10 minutes away on 59 - and they only have 2 9-footers. Let me give this some thought and see if I come up with any others.

BTW, Cinco Ranch is pretty nice. We head that way for awesome Tex-Mex frequently.

Not a lot of 9 footer's???

There plenty of 9' foot tables with 20 - 30m of you. All the Slick Willies pool halls have 9 foot tables (2) and they are all over town, there one a few miles from you on I-10 a few exits west of Fry road.

Fast Eddies (2 locations I-45 south ans FM 1960) has 4 - 9' Olhousens, Clicks has 3 - 9' Gold Crowns _ Hwy 290 @ Holister

Boggies has 7 - 9' Gold Crowns - 1960 east, Big Time Billiards has 2 -Diamonds 9' and 2 - 9' Gold Crowns....., the list is endless, more pool halls here than any city in the country!

I would agree. I've only been to Houston once and didn't play but, in Austin and San Antonio there is a poolhall in each direction with all 9's and I love the Texas poolhalls I've been in because I never see one 7 footer. Just got back from Austin and man it was hawt. Not a day under 103 the whole week I was there.
 
Hot is right!

We dont get a break until Oct, but then its spring like weather for 2 months - fall/winter Dec-Jan and spring again from Mar-May....., then HELL starts again in June-July-Aug!!! 100+ for the last 18 days!
 
Deep Pockets has ALL Diamonds!! Alvin,Tx

Legends has 3 Diamond 9fts, 8 8ft Diamonds and about 11 Brunswick 8fts

4 9fts and 16 7fts! Awesome room too!

It's ironic to be in Texas - with so much real estate for a pool hall - and see it filled with 8-footers and only a couple 9's. In NY, where the price per square foot is outrageous, you have to really search to even find an 8' table!

As indicated, if you are looking for a place with just a couple 9' tables, they are around. But you're not going to find one that's filled with them!

That's because most room owners are probably trying to cater to the newbie-to-average poolplayer. They want to make balls, and a 9-footer proves to difficult for them. You've gotta have the "average Joe" poolplayers dropping $$$ in your room if you want to stay in business.

Welcome to Texas. All of the suggestions made are good ones. There are places to play 3 cushion and snooker if you are interested in those games. If I had to name one room in the area that is my favorite it would be Deep Pockets in Alvin. I also like Legends, Bogies, Big Tymes and Fast Eddies Fuqua.

Well have a good time exploring the city there is plenty to do here no matter what your interests are. :thumbup:
 
congrats, welcome to Texas aka heaven. cant help you the Houston area but if you're ever up Fort Worth way give a shout, can point out a few places for you

Closest Nine Footers to Cinco Ranch

I would expect Slick Willies at I-10 and Westgreen is closest room with 9-foot tables to Cinco Ranch. They have three (3) 9-foot tables and the rest are 8-footers.

They recently did some renovations (down sizing) - so the details on Slick Willies website are not accurate for the table count.
 
Sorry to hear about your move to Texas... I was born there & lived there for 32 years. I found out the Sun was my enemy. One day I moved to Seattle. The sun was blocked by the clouds, but it never rained in my home, my car, any dance halls or Pool Halls I frequented. The Sun couldn't bake me or my brains.

I enjoyed the mountains & the ocean of the West Coast.

One day I retired from BOEING & had to move to Oklahoma because of family reasons. Now I'm once again living a a sunny hell hole in the South.

However, Tulsa is a good Pool town, so is Dallas, Austin & Houston. But I'm a fan of 40-60 degree weather & longing for my move back to the North West....
