Still_Learning said:If you only have room for a 7' table at home, but you almost always compete on 9' tables, is the 7' table worth having?
Assume it's a great 7' table. I'm just wondering if practicing on a 7' table all the time will ruin your 9' table game.
Discussing the same idea with a (great) 8' table might not be a bad idea either.
Opinions?
If you are still learning then it will help and it doesn't have to be a great one either, as you will pick up angles and patterns faster than on a larger table, in fact in Europe progression in billliards (carom) is from a smaller table to a larger one, many pro players today started on smaller tables as they are more prolific in reacreational centers, bars, pool halls , etc.
