You live in an apt complex with multiple 9' tables? Mine has a garbage 7' table that probably cost $4000, is total trash, and its only 2 years old. All the pockets fell out or got cut, balls roll off a few inches, etc. Count your blessings

Hey Coco...is that you???Pretty unfathomable there would be any offense derived from being prohibited from drawing a line on a pool table when there are people out there who don't come to complete stops at stop signs and it is near impossible to buy a single unbruised and ripe banana at the grocery store.
That is so far from anything that two-thumbed typer tapped that I have no idea how it could be thought such.Hey Coco...is that you???

I don't have any lines on my table and I somehow have managed to survive.I live in a complex where we have 9' tables. The manager has absolutely said NO Lines can be drawn. I think that al least the line on the back of the foot spot so the rack can be set up accurately.... but NO. Thoughts?
Me too. Here, the local gimmick is that the 1b must go in one side pocket and the 15b must go in the other (it's a tico thing and there's even more to it) so most tables you see have "1" scrawled in white chalk on one side and "15" scrawled on the other.I don't have any lines on my table and I somehow have managed to survive.
I guess you don't get any lines thenI live in a complex where we have 9' tables. The manager has absolutely said NO Lines can be drawn. I think that al least the line on the back of the foot spot so the rack can be set up accurately.... but NO. Thoughts?
that is entirely possible, remove your spot sticker and you will know for sure.As much as I practice I think the cloth is usually ready to be replaced before that happens
Absolutely… be aggressive with masse and jump shotsDon't care who owns the table... Do what you want...
Sometimes forgiveness is easier than permission. Do you really think some manager cares about alignment lines? He wants to avoid conflicts and that makes "no" easy.Don't care who owns the table... Do what you want...
It’s fair to say the tables are part of the community. Residents are not entitled to make their own rules/changes. It’s not their property. The manager is doing his job.Sometimes forgiveness is easier than permission. Do you really think some manager cares about alignment lines? He wants to avoid conflicts and that makes "no" easy.
I just don't understand why us on the forum have a right to say over his authority what he should do marking a table that doesn't belong to him...Sometimes forgiveness is easier than permission.

I thought I was old , you and I been playing sense the late forties, I started in summer of 47 on snooker table, my dad... GuyYou don't need lines. It's not that hard to ascertain if a rack is proper, or if a cue ball is on, above, or behind the line. I've played for 77 years without lines.
