One thing I always know if I am playing someone not so good ona 9 ft table I can always leave them long...on a smaller table that doesn't work
Looking for a little advice. Both my 8 & 9-ball teams are playing in our APA LTCs this weekend. We play exclusively on 9-footers, and there isn't a 7-footer within 35 miles, and those are Valleys. Where we will be playing, the majority of the tables will be 7-foot Diamonds.
At least 3-4 of the players on each team have never played on anything but a 9-footer before, and never a Diamond of any size.
Any suggestions to help me get them acclimated as quickly as possible? We will have very limited practice time, if any. (The room is 2 hours away, we can't just drive over ahead of time to get used to them.) Picture 32-34 teams trying to get on 16 tables
I've played on these tables for about 10 minutes, 2 years ago. (We got stuck on the 3 Valleys they bring in for this tourney every year.). No one else on either team has any experience with Diamonds, even those who have played on barboxes before.
Suggestions? Thanks

Thanks, RJ and everyone. Great stuff, esp about the side pockets.
CreeDo, did you ever play at Club 302 in Windham when you were up here? That's where we'll be...
Hope I can get some good practice in tonight, before Game 1.....you up for the Stanley Cup series, RJ? Boston Strong, baybeeeeeeee
Big pockets on 7 foot Diamonds compared to a Valley Bar Box? I've never played on any Diamond with pockets anywhere close to a factory Valley or anything else for that matter.
