Guys, I want to put a nice pool table in my finished basement. Looks like a standard 8-foot will not do. Any advice on a 7-foot bar size table? TIA
-
Are you sure there is adequate space for it?
-
do you even like pool?
-
put it next to the Gazelle with cobwebs all over it
-
Above ground? Yuck.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
1 piece slate or go home
-
If it's like the ones I have observed, you will average maybe 4 games a year, after the first year.

My bro has a $4500 table (brobrag?) and we play every time I am at his house. I don't know the brand. (Obviously one piece slate)
-
do not do this

bones, what are your thoughts on casual boat ownership?

just get a foosball table

We have one of these and no one ever uses it.

same with a pool table, except it takes up less space

can't wait for some RockState/1BigWillie additions to this thread.

Had one in our post college party house and it was only ever used during parties.
We also had one of those old timey self playing pianos that was only used at parties
Moral of the story is have lots of keggers
-
you could also just practice trick shots then go get loaded at a bar every night and win money from people doing those trick shots

I got one two weeks ago. my fam has played it every night, but two, since. The reason it works for us is that my wife likes pool almost as much as I do, and our kids picked it up super quick and really like it too.
Also, don't buy new. Buy on craigslist(dont get killed, though). We got a Brunswick. It's not real slate, either, it's Slatec, which is lighter, but still plays like any other nice pool table I have played on. It was also something I could move with one other guy, rather than paying some company $500-$600 to move and set up. This is what I would recommend. If you play it a bunch over a couple year period, upgrade to a different table.
The brunswich Slatec is available in the smaller bar-sized tables(what I bought). We have played it a lot and it is great. No weird spots on the roll, no bumper issue, etc. Plays great.

No objection.

It is only for huge studs

good for hosting guests, i suppose. huge waste of money.

This seems like good info. Looking into it. Thanks much, CNS.
