On average how far do you drive to go shoot pool?
- Thread starter mattb
- Start date
To play on bar boxes, I walk to the garage, or across the road to my buddy's garage. To play on Diamond 9fters, about 70 miles round trip. I could goto a smaller hall about 15 minutes away, but they don't take care of their tables. So I would rather drive to The Varsity Club in Oshkosh, WI. :thumbup:

I have about 100 9'ers within 25mi from my house and 3 or 4 places within 10mi...
But their equipment and conditions pale, in comparison to my basement.
Play with myself a lot.

i drive 3 miles there and 3 miles back everyday for practice and play with friends ( crappy balls so i use my own and 9 ft tables but cloth in terrible shape). when it is a tournament (last night) i have to drive 21 miles there and back. (better tables, aramith balls and all 9 footers)
Many days I walk 1.25 Miles each way.
Uphill? Barefoot? Through the snow?
I can find poor quality bar boxes within a few miles of my home...but generally we make a 60 mile round trip to play at the Cue Ball in Salem, OR. It's probably one of a very few "no alcohol served" halls left in the country.

At least 2-3 times a week, I drive 40 miles to a pool hall. It doesnt matter which one, they are all 40 miles away from me.
The other 4 days a week, I drive 2 miles to a local club that has a beautiful 1893 Brunswick 9 footer that is all by itself in the basement. Nobody but me and a couple friends use it. The cloth is garbage, but I'm pushing for a complete table overhaul. Then maybe I will spend 5 days there.

I used to drive about 2 miles from work to play regularly at a bar with 9' Kassens that have buckets for pockets. The place has five 9-footers and eight 8-footers.
And after playing for several hours for free, I would then have to drive home about 11 miles or so. Pool was free for me because I used to run a weekly in-house league in this place for about 10 years. Even though that ended a number of years ago, the manager still let me play for free. I tipped well.
Ever since I bought my 9' Pro Am home table about 3 years ago, I literally don't play anywhere else except on rare occasion.
My table is in my (now) refinished garage... so I walk about 5 steps from my kitchen into my garage.
And the real beauty of having my table inside the garage is the fact that I equipped it with a powerful multi-speed exhaust fan in one window, which allows me to freely smoke cigars without offending anyone. :thumbup:
