Well, tastes are different, I suppose. I don't believe in changing playing cues all the time. I believe that hurts your game more than playing on a smaller table. YMMV
..........
If your mainly a one pocket player just tear down a wall regardless of what on the other side and get the 9’. If your wife gets mad and leaves you, then you will have more time to enjoy the table. Pool must be played.
Most cues are 58 in, say 8 inches for stroke so 6.5 ft on each end and side .
7 ft table needs 20 ft x 16.5 for unobstructed play. More for Shane, Shaw who use longer cues.
7 + 6.5 + 6.5 = 20 ft
3.5 + 6.5 + 6.5 + 16.5 ft
You confused me with this one. Why would you need more than 58" between the table and the wall? You actually need less- the tip of the cue is never going to fall off the edge of the rail or he cue would leave your bridge hand!

You will need to stroke the cue I would think. Allen Hopkins is the only person I can think off that never really back stroked his cue. Most player need to come back with cue 4 to 8 inches before delivering the stroke. Rare for back stroke to be 8 inches but some are.
Also 7 ft is playing surface without rails I believe.

Check your math.
looks good to me , you should check yours.
