Is it worth upgrading to a 9 footer?

I currently have an 8' table and have it stuck in my head that I want a 9' table, is it worth 1000 to1500 to upgrade? I have the room and some cash is on the way what would you do? Thanks
 
I just upgraded from an 8.5 foot Olhausen to a 9 foot Brunswick GC IV and there is no doubt in my mind that it was worth it. I feel so much more comfortable in tournaments on full size tables now. If you can get a Gold Crown, do it!
 
Yes...

Although I think a shimmed down 8' table is the hardest
to play on, I would get the 9'. I think there is more
correlation between playing on a 7' and 9' than a 8'
and a 7 or 9'. In otherwards your game on the 7 and 9
will both better, and that is what most tournaments are
played on. The 9' is the real deal ...
 
Yes, Yes, Yes

I own a 9' Olhausen now and I agree that it seems to make 8' tables child's play in comparison. If I could fit a 10' in the den, I would. :p
 
Dont laugh about the 5 X 10

One of the top local players here just bought a 5 X 10 pool table. I cant remember the brand but it was a special for them and took a little bit of time to get.

I havent played on one ever, but he has it at his house. I think it is shimmed some or the pockets are fairly tight.

Sounds like it would be a great one-pocket table to me.

Absolutely upgrade.
 
Yes Yes Yes

I bought my house specifically around my 9 foot table. If I could not have found a house that it would have fit into I would have moved to the pool hall instead. Translation. Get a 9 foot table it is where the best pool is played by the best players playing. In addition I recommend any version of Gold Crown or a Diamond table. Two of the best in my opinion. If your gonna play your best you need the best.
