Ordered my pool table!

Yes, I ordered my 8 foot pool table yesterday, I hope I'll get it at the end of this week!

 

Brewing beer, playing pool, and MajorGeeks. What more could you ask for?

Nice, I remember in college during spare time I would go to the student center and play pool or bowl. Enjoy

 

you lucky so n so. i wish i had a pool table.

 

Home brewed beer and a pool table. Good way to spend time.

 

Im thinking of getting a pool table myself.... have fun

I also have a dart board.

 

Before you get a table, you NEED to make sure your playing area is large enough. I had to modify my basement a bit in preparation of this table.

I have three 60" cues, so according to the above link I have to have a 18' 4" x 14' 10" size room. Which I have more than this. (after a few modifications).

 

So, when you inviting me over?

 

Update. Looks like the pool table that I ordered is out of stock. Ugh, I'm so mad, why didn't the freaken website tell me in advance!!!! So, I cancelled my order.........

So, it looks like I will have to wait it bit. Going on choice two. Ordering a pool table from the largest in Indiana. They have "Free delivery and Free professional installation". But, the cheapest table is $1200 which is a 7' table, drop pocket, with 1.25" slate. When I looked at it a month or so ago, it looked better made then the $800 8', drop pocket slatron (slate), I TRIED to order.

So, ugh, errgh, ....

I'll post again, when I have purchased this other one......



But, yeah, if anyone is in the area, feel free to drop by....

Why am I buying a pool table? Last year I spend about $900 in quarters and pool hall fees. I feel it is time to "save" some money.

 

I gotta make the changes since the room I was going to put it in is too small after looking at the chart...btw..thanks for the article

No problem! Though, there are many more articles, that was the first one that google brought up. I basically averaged 4 different opinions, and made mine.

 

Yeah...can I come over too???? I just live over here in chicago!!!!! LOL

Well, as long as you don't mind BCA rules, or APA rules, I don't mind.

I typically play, 8-ball (regular, last pocket, 8-ball bank, all shots bank), 9-ball, Rotation, 3-ball, 7-ball, and about 5 other games I can't remember the names to, but I know the rules for.

Jumping balls only allowed if you are above the center line on the cue.

Smoking outside only (unless I get drunk and not care anymore, I smoke), beer bottles and glasses only allowed on tables, not on the pool table.

Oh, and bring your own cue, unless I were to splurge and buy some cheap 2-piece cues!

 

And always remember....turn and face the corner when you pick your nose!!!!

not that I do that, either!!

Thee fool, if you ever have any chance or reason to come to Tennesse, please look me up. I love to shoot pool and used to be good at it in my younger years. When I used to frequent bars, the only round that I normally lost was the first one. Your pool table sounds great!

 

I'm personally not fond of ball return tables. Most of the ones I've played on seem to have issues with stuck balls. That is why I prefer drop pocket tables.

 

The table that I'll be buying is a C.L. Bailey:

Or perhaps a brunswick table.....probably stick with the above, since the brunswick in my price range only is 3/4" slate.....

Hmmm, just noticed they are using cold fusion as their webserver. I really do not like that server....
