Wouldn't it be lovely if you could buy The Perfect Stroke. Like Cher used to say, "If you could buy this (pointing to her body) in a bottle, everybody would be skinny.Don't forget BASS while you're at it: BuyAStraightStroke.
All the money and all the systems in the world will never buy a perfect stroke. Only one man can do that.
This was so beautiful! Made me cry like a chik flik. That, and I just got the credit card bill.
And not a single one would bet 10 cents and play.
OK Guys, allow me to step into the shallow end of the pool. You're just starting out and you've found a room that is comfortable for you. You've been playing for about a year or so and things are going fine, but not perfect. Finding the groove, working on your stroke, your tempo, your zone is a challenge with all the noise, the camaraderie, and the interruptions.
You do want to learn how to shoot pool, don't you?
It's a 9 foot National, clean, not trashed and they want $100.00. You and a couple of buds could, unless you are mechanically impaired, take it apart and hump it over to your place. If you can take it apart, you can put it back together. It's not a Lunar Landing Module.
Now...practice every day. Get a video of Buddy Hall and watch it every night...or vice versa. Shoot 200 straight in shots. Watch Buddy. Shoot 300 straight in shots. Watch Buddy...you get the picture. No beer, no weed, no chit-chat with the Ol' Lady. Just pool. Play until the only sound you hear is the sound of the balls going into the pockets. Shoot pool, nothing else.
After a year, go down the pool room. In your mind, you're the only one there. Shoot a little bit, chat casually with the patrons, and then go home....and practice. Fix everything that you broke at the pool room. Got to the room once a month. Measure yourself, analyze everything you do, and then go home, and practice
Oh, the table is in Sarasota, Fl on CL. They'd probably give it to you just to get rid of it. Tell 'em Boxcar sent ya'.

At least you own a table. No excuses!
When I played golf seriously, I hit a minimum of 200 shots a day, every day. Putter...driver...it didn't matter. I was training my swing, but most of all I was training my eyes.
Having a fancy, high dollar table will not make you a good pool player. The idea is to have a surface at your fingertips that you can train on every day. What matters is one's ability to strike the cue ball precisely. No fancyass table in the world can teach you how to do that.
