I don't have a table at home so I would have to use these on a table at the pool hall, I have no problem removing them and using new ones when I practice, the questions are is this a good idea, would they damage the cloth? Hard to remove? Does anyone else have experience using these like this? Thanks to anyone who can give me their experiences.
Avery Round Reinforcement stickers for practice

Give more context and background. You saw someone else using them, right? Or you took a lesson, and the instructor used them?
It’s fairly common for instructors to use them, and lots of people will have them always on their home table. The only question is if the pool hall will get weirded out for whatever reason if a customer puts the stickers on the tables . So if they’re weirded out, nothing we say here will matter.
If they are easy to remove and don't hurt the cloth I don't think it would be a problem, I would like to set up shots that cause me problems and repeat them so I can work on them, what I don't know is this will hurt the cloth
The ones I use, including the Avery sheets and rolls, are quite easy to remove from the cloth. At pool halls I never leave them on for more than a couple of hours. I have never had a pool hall complain about me using them.
Thank you, this means they are not an option, back to the drawing board , Thanks again for the help, you saved me time and headache
Every poolhall is different but anyone who is familiar with pool shouldn't have a problem with you using them. They are easily removed and don't cause any damage. However, if you over-use one specific spot of the table during a drill it will leave a burn mark on the cloth, so be cognizant of that. Otherwise, go for it.
Thanks Bob, If there is anybody on here that has used these more than you I don't know who it is, this is exactly how I would use them. Thanks for your expertise.
If you play a lot of draw shots from one location, that area will be covered with chalk dust except for the ring covered by the donut. A microfiber cloth can be used to sweep away most of the chalk dust.
Your reputation precedes you, My first step was to see what others have experienced, my second step is to ask the pool hall , my third step is to PRACTICE better, Thank You again
Good advice, thanks for responding
thanks for responding, I try to do that the best I can now, just trying to up my practice.
great advice I keep one in my bag
As I said, if the pool hall gets weirded out “for whatever reason,” then nothing we say here will matter. They’re used all the time. Ask the pool hall if they care. Hoping that’s as clear as it gets.
It’s not up to me or you to tell them what makes them uncomfortable. That’s true in all aspects of life.

I have the hardest time removing these things, they do come off. But i'm not trying to mess up anyones cloth. I do see fibers being pulled when i take these off and i do see marks in the cloth from the reinforcement tabs

If yours are stickier than the ones me and Bob have used, you can easily remedy this by sticking them onto a sweater or something first. That should weaken the adhesive quite a bit and make it much easier to take off later.
agreed, it doesn't hurt to ask them which is what I will do, just looking for advice, trying not to learn the hard way
great advice, exactly the kind of experience I hoped to find, Thank You
