Hello,
This is directed to members who have or have had a home pool table.
I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where my wife and I will be building our forever home now that our daughters are off to college; and with that I'm cough cough..."allowed" to have a pool room.
With that I have some mild hesitation before jumping right in because I have a fear or rather some angst in regards to wanting to avoid what I would describe as soft hitting or muffled tables. I assume that what I'm describing is due to the home tables that I've shot on sitting on carpet, some sort of floating tile and in some cases hardwood floors.
Over the years I've shot on my fair share of home tables and none ever feel or hit as "solid" as a public pool/billiard room table that sit directly on concrete and/or thin high-traffic carpet that is over concrete.
I apologize if what I'm describing isn't clear. But for those of you who are still with me...I'm trying to avoid that "mushy" feel that I experience whenever I shoot at a home table.
Is this just something I will have to deal with? Is there an alternative to having the builder lay a concrete slab for the pool room? Have any of you had success in avoiding what I'm describing?
Kind regards,
Andrew
