I am in charge of purchasing pool tables for our college game room…other colleges I have talked to have 8 or 9 foot tables, but some of the vendors I've talked to say that 7 foot is standard, and that the students would actually dislike playing on a bigger table. The cost difference is not big, so what do you think?
Folks have been focusing on 7ft vs. 9ft … What about 8 ft?
It all depends on how serious a player they are lol..
I would go with the 8 footers to make everyone happy , then you you dont have to worry about the too long too short argument !
An 8 'er will be just right because it allows both the 7 ft. and 9 ft. players to reach a happy medium as their games will not suffer at all and will probably make them better players on whichever table they happen to be playing on !
You will find most league players play on the 7's and most 9 ball players (gamblers) like the 9's

Okay I just had a party and i am 13, and we just bought this like 5k$ pool table and one of the guys spilt something white on the green carpet of the table and it has set in. Please reply back, I'm gonna be in so much trouble when my dad sees it.
The liquid damaged the felt on your pool table. Do not use liquid cleaning products to remove it because it too will leave a water mark. Your best bet is to fess up because at 13 you probably can't get to the store by yourself to get the products you need to do the job. Most pool tables come with cleaning instructions for caring properly for the felt which is usually over slate. Mine suggested the use of dry carpet cleaning granules or a product available through most pool table distributors to remove water rings and stains. The Capture and Resolve dry carpet cleaning granules work well, don't leave a water mark and remove most stains from the pool table felt. I usually suggest that clients spray the felt surface of their pool tables with scotchguard after they are out of warranty to protect the felt from liquid spills. This bubbles the liquid up so that it can be blotted away with a paper towel and not saturate into the felt. Your dad may have purchased a stain warranty, however, and since it is new, you really don't want to do anything improperly to void that warranty if he has one.

i've spilleed some juice on my pool table and i'm not sure how i should clean it. i dont want to damage the felt but i still want it too look like i just bought it.
p.s. the juice has already dried.
There are products specifically made to clean pool table fabric.
"Felt Rescue" is formulated to remove the most common stains that might be found on table felt. If the stain has dried, you should first go over the stained area and remove any chalk dust using a felt brush and a vacuum. This is important because wetted chalk will harden and change the way the felt plays.Then lightly mist the stain with Felt Rescue and blot with clean white terry towels. Repeat till the stain is improved or removed.

I've played 8-ball, 9-ball, one pocket and I've heard of straight pool even though I've never actually played it. Are there any other games that can be played on a regular 9-foot pool table?
101 is a good one… played just like darts… Everytime someone knocks in a ball you pull it out and but it back at the break dot and award that number of points. First one to knock in enough balls to exactly equal 101 is the winner…

We have a tri level house and want to move our pool table from the 3rd level up 6 stairs to the 2nd level out the front doors and into the garage. Anyone know how much that would cost?
….It would COST what you could get some people to do it for……..??????……..They are very heavy, if it's a good slate table, if you didn't already know……all I can do .

This house is about fifty years old and the floors are original and sturdy. I have a very heavy antique pool table that weighs about 2000 pounds, 10 feet by four and a half feet. My wife says it will fall through the floor. I think it is ok because the weight will be distributed.
What I have done many times for people is crawl under the house with a few pier pads and a couple of posts and beams and shore up more………or just clip beams in between existing beams just to be safe, with metal hangers and nails………better safe than a screwed up floor it only takes a couple of hours……and you might just have the old lumber in the back yd. nite

I’ve never had a pool table delivered, so I am unsure of what to do in this situation. Thanks!
No tip required or called for by any means.
The cost of delivery, table purchase, and assembly, are ALL included in your bill —and THEN some —-believe me!

The game of billiards is highly overrated. I would say that half the people that shoot pool are fat, lazy, stupid, drunks, whores, because pool is played in bars is why it gets so much attention. Before you even think about buying an expensive pool table you should look in the paper or Internet. There are probably 10 million pool tables sitting in homes right now gathering dust, because the game is boring. Buying a new table is not very smart. But before you buy a pool table, please go and play ping pong and you'll see how fun the game is and you'll see how boring billiards is.
Even though I know full well that this is the same jackass asking the same question for the fourth time under a different profile, I'll actually dignify this with a response. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, approximately 47 million people in the United States played pool and/or billiards at least once in 2006. Of that 47 million, 13.5 million played at least 13 times. It was the fourth most popular sport in the United States. 40 percent of those players earned at least $75K/year. I didn't see table tennis anywhere close on the list. I really don't even see what the point of all your questions are. Do you just assume that because somebody is in a bar, they are fat, lazy, drunk, and promiscuous? Are you with Al-Qaida or something? Do you work for the ping pong industry? Do you honestly think that you can just say how boring your believe something is and somehow you'll change even one person's mind? If anything, you're just hurting your own cause, if you even have one. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.
P.S. You know that Finkel J and John F are the same person. Just like John F had three different names already when he posted the same question earlier. He just made up another profile so he could give himself Best Answer or at least make it seem like somebody else agrees with him. "Virgin" comes to mind. Think how much time he has wasted making up all of these profiles, sitting in front of a computer. My hunch is he's an 18 year old college freshman who thinks he has a clue about anything because he joined some campus activist group to pick up granola chicks, and now he's just so outraged with all of the injustice and ignorance perpetrated by his own country that and he wishes he could just bury his face in Michael Moore's bosom so he could protect him from all the evil Americans. I know the type all too well; condescending, deluded, elitist, pseudo-intellectual windbags.
