Fitting a 9ft and a 7ft table in a room
- Thread starter Brags
- Start date
These guys didn't have any practice time? Obviously it won't play exactly like a Diamond...every table plays different anyway...with diamond being the most consistent.
I have no idea.....no experience there.
...but I would think so....when a ball hits the rail at a good speed, the solidity factor has
to change the reaction, I would think.
Raymond Ceulemans, the great 3-cushion player, said that if you add a quarter inch to
the thickness of the slate, you add a full length to the table.
I own a table with 1" 3/16 thick slate and it plays just like the 1" thick of the same model and size... a lot more than slate thickness is involved when it comes to table speed and rails reaction.

You need to be 8 foot tall to play without a bridge.
He's not nearly as good as he thinks he is, either....
..Brags actually thinks a Black Crown outta Quebec plays like a Diamond.
We have a great pool hall here, The Snooker Shack (owned and operated by Al Tirk, you may know Al, great guy who set up my Challenger but I digress :thumbup
, with a couple of 9' Black Crowns and 4 7' Diamonds .... the Diamonds mess me up when I don't play on them regularly (which is almost never, only a few weeks in league).Take care my friend, and hope you have a great weekend.

So THAT's my problem
Dave <-- 5'5" and uses the rest when the cue ball is 1/2 of a 9' table from his stubby little arms
PS Of course I am Canadian, and grew up with snooker, where we not only use a rest a lot but sometimes have to find the SUPER-LONG rest & cue that every hall has somewhere .... typically on the far side of the room from where you are playing
PPS I have a long rest & cue from that was used on a 10' table in my collection of inane pool paraphernalia ... so I have that going for me ... which is nice :thumbup:
Take care my friend, and hope you have a great weekend.

To me, David, your Challenger is legitimate competition for the Gold Crown....
....Dufferin's finest table.
If you ever have it re-rubbered, use the RKC/Diamond cut and you have a world class table.
Take care yourself, David....and watch out for bears...
Jeeze Brags, notice how Mika had a cube of chalk on the rail where the CB landed for many of those shots?
You better tell him that he fouled!

Same reason I haven't covered the keys on my keyboard....I never look at those either. In fact check out my previous DAS keyboard...too bad it didn't come in wireless or I'd still be using it. Great fun if people wanted to use your computer who couldn't touch type.
If I had the option I would order my Pro Am sans diamonds, so I could watch you diamond system wannabe's struggle the same way.
Anyway, aren't we getting off topic here? This thread is about fitting two tables in one room.
