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<br><b>References : </b><br>been playing in leagues and tournaments for over 35+ years It all depends on how serious a player they are lol..

So really, in this case, I'd go with the biggest table that will fit. I don't really think casual players much notice the difference in table sizes; I mean, if they've been playing on 7 ft. bar boxes then a 9 ft. table might be tough at first, but they should adjust. In fact, I'd lean towards thinking the vendors you've talked to don't sell 9 ft. tables and are trying to sell you what they've got. When you get a table or tables (try talking to some local pool rooms about getting a used table-- they might be able to steer you in the right direction) get some good cloth like Simonis on it and pick up some Dufferin house cues to go along with it. Good luck and have fun :) --Lea<br><b>References : </b><br> I agree with Tim that the serious players will appreciate a 9 ft. table…If nine-footers won't fit, 8 ft. is better than 7 ft (you need five feet all around the table to play comfortably).
