Do You Play Any on Bar Tables?

[BasementDweller]

Simple poll. I'm just curious how many of you play on bar tables.

The question is: Do you play any meaningful pool on bar tables? This excludes the odd game here and there at the bar. In other words, do you play league, gamble, or play the occasional tournament on bar tables.

first!


nah, never really play on bar tables....pretty much a 3C guy now...

I mostly play at home on my 8-ft pro brunswick, but I also play league on bar tables. I enjoy playing on pretty much any table.

 

[DAVE_M]

Yes.

Exclusively on Diamond 7ft tables. It's all we have around here.

Edit - The closest 9ft table is 20 miles and the nearest 9ft Diamond table is 30+ miles.

Nope. Pretty much all 9-footers around here, we're the odd scenario of APA being played on 9's...

There isn't a 7-footer in this city, to my knowledge. There are two places, 30 miles way, that each have one 7-footer. It's a rare bird 'round here

No only 9 footers we have bar tables.and also have pool rooms full of 9 footers

 

[jburkm002]

Bar box only for me.

We see more 7 footers than 9 footers around here, but I spend my time at a small place that has eight 9 footers and only one 7 upstairs that is rarely used, so I rarely play on the 7 footers.

Maybe if it was a diamond bb, I would consider spending time on it. My 1st choice is the 9ft(2 avail) then 8ft(about 15). The 2 7ft at my hall is in terrible shape.

Before I joined a league that played on bar tables this past couple of years, I spent over 20 years playing pool and have only played on a bar table in those 20 years 3-4 times. Most of them are so bad to play on, I'd rather just watch and amuse myself with the rules the players explain to each other. "It's not a table scratch if you hit 3 banks" "You can move the cueball off the rail but not more than the butt of the cue" "the bridge is for sissies". Fun stuff.

We only have 1 bowling center around here that has 2 9ft Brunswicks and 1 snooker table. Other than that it's only barbox around here now unless there is somewhere I don't know about.

 

[tjshaw02]

would like to play exclusively on 9ft, but league and tournaments around my area are all on 7ft... so barbox it is...

 

[Str8PoolPlayer]

Yes ... Sadly, our local 8-Ball League is played exclusively on Bar Tables ( mostly 4x8's).
32 weeks of bad, worse, & horrendous tables (except for a couple at the Bowling Alley).
Many still have the Mud Ball, so we bring our own Red Circle and they unlock the table.

 

[Atlatlien]

I'll play on any table. My main bar around here though doesn't have bar boxes, they have three 8' Gandy furniture tables. APA travels around the area and mainly plays on 8' Olhausens commercial tables. I'd prefer bar boxes to the Olhausens, the bar boxes don't spit the ball out as much.

Play almost exclusively on 9 footers however have been playing on 7 foot diamonds on Sunday getting ready for the Expo. Playing in a 9 ball tournament tomorrow on 7 foot diamonds though. 32 man field on 4 diamonds. Hope I have a long day.

OMG, league night must take FOOOOEVVVVA!

 

[Baxter]

I wish there was a "sometimes" option. I play mostly on 9 footers, but bar box 9 ball is one of my favorite games to gamble with, especially a ring game. No real ducking, just running out from everywhere!

 

[jasonlaus]

10 footer at home mostly, the bar down the street has 4 (sometimes 6) bb's that I'll get drunk and play on, or is it play on and get drunk? Whatever. 9'ers when I'm in your town (campus Q).
You coming to the Expo?

Just noticed the 3rd option, can I change my vote?

No Expo for me....maybe some day.

Figured I'd get more votes on the 3rd option. So far only 2. That's not so bad. :thumbup:

 

[DogsPlayingPool]

Nope. Don't hang out in bars. Have a 9' table at home and my BCAPL league and APA masters league are both played on the big track. Haven't played in league nationals but obviously if I did, that would be on the bar box.
