Support your room owner, or save a buck?

I wouldn't pay to play on tables that play, or look like crap though, and that's a lot of the problem with pool rooms I see all around this country. Pool room owners seem to think they only need to change the cloth on their tables once a year...because it costs so much, when in reality....the tables that get played the most...are the ones that need the cloth changed the most. In other words, once say a table reaches 2,000 hours of play, regardless of when that is...change the cloth, then that total cost is spread out...and there's just about always a new, or nearly new table to play on, but at no point does a table go way to long before changing the cloth....and while that's taking place....fix the things that need to be fixed on the tables. I understand that mechanics would prefer recovering as many tables in a room as they can in a week...but, SLOW them down some...so they have the time to fix the things needing fixed.

You would be sick if you came into our local room. On weekdays its $3 to play all day, and based on the equipment that price is about fair. They are talking about covering the tables, but just cloth isnt going to help!

If all they do is put cloth on them I dont want them to do it, because they will raise the prices but the tables will still play bad.

Then they wonder where all their customers have gone when someone else opens a room
