Picked up a 1970's fisher bumper pool table for my kids!

Picked up new balls and have some extra Simonis for it. I thought it would keep them away from my 9 footer. Has real slate and weighs a ton. Anyone know the rules. Lol. Ben is stoked.

That is totally cool, I wanted to get one for my daughter but I just don't have room. Guess she will have to play on my Sportsman.

That is cool. I can remember a nearby poolroom having a bumper table and one that was "L" shaped. I never played on either but they never failed to get my attention
Hope they get many hours of enjoyment out of it

It 7:45 in the morning and really cold. But he's still out there poking at balls.

Bumper pool tables were a stepping stone to the pool table for a lot of us long in the tooth on ABZ. My Dad made a good amount of money taking me around to the over 50 bars on his ice route when I was about 12 to 13. I think he gave me 20% of the winnings LOL. From the memories I have from those days, I would have played for no %.

SO TRUE! I was a terrorist on the bumper pool tables when I was a kid. I wish half of it transferred with me when I went onto the regular pool tables, lol.
