Table size for my room....

[jay helfert]

I'd go with the regular 8 foot but I hate short cue sticks. If you get a decent 52 inch cue, and 8 pro would be great. Maybe you should hit up a few cue makers to build a really *****in short cue.

You'd be surprised how good you can play with a 52" or 54" cue. You can shoot all the same shots, as long as you have a good tip on it. A short (but straight) house cue works fine. Find a good house cue and cut five to six inches off the butt. You'll rarely use it if you install the pro size 8' table. If you put a 9' table in, you'll need it much more often. It becomes bothersome then to always be switching cues.
