One thing I read someone mention though is that it impacts you in that you start to plan your shots around avoiding the pole, so can mess with your game even if you never broke out the shorty. If that's event the slightest bit accurate, that's not bad at all. So really I'd be looking at 1 shot in every 6 games per player. Let's call it 1/3 of the shots where the ball is in the bad region. But you know, you add in the fact that just because a ball is there doesn't mean you'll be hitting it at an angle that interferes with the pole, it could actually be much lower. If the average beginner game has 20 shots per person (guessing), I'd be looking at 1 shot every other game. Unfortunately I haven't had enough experience to know how frequently it would occur, but from a pure math stand point, if we assume the bad region is 6' x 6' around each pole, and on a 9' table there are 40 squared feet of playing surface, then 1 of 40 regions are bad or 2.5%. I'm finishing the room now and the walls just went up.can't wait. But I'll have this table for 20+ years and can't wait to play, so I will be getting better and do want a table I can grow in to. I'm not bad, but compared to anyone here I'm just a beginner. In fact, I'm basically just someone that played on a 6' a bunch when I was 16 and then only got the opportunity to play once every few years since then (now I'm 42). I should say though, I'm not a serious player. If I add an extra 2' to the table for an oversized, I'll be breaking out that shortie a lot more often I think, and all the time if I go 9'. I plan to put 5' of space, along the wall, which leaves 57.5' to the lally column. I'll just have to get a 48' cue to occasionally break out. Two of those lally columns are gonna interfere at times. My basement is large but I've got 3 lally columns that divide it into 2 sides.

Here's a video (fast forwarded to the proper spot), showing the construction if interested:ĭid they make a straight 8' GC? Since I've been searching (a few months) I've only come across one 8' GC but it was an oversized 8'. Is it a diamond in the rough by chance? But here's my real question.If I went with the Legacy Mesa, how are the cushions? With some 860 felt and a good mechanic for the setup, can I get this thing playing really well? Or would the cushions be holding me back? Should I plan to just replace them from the get go? How about the pockets? Anyone know? I know the choice of wood may vary, but it has some good weight to it also at around 750 lbs.

No veneers, no mdf, good cross beams, good corners, etc. Surprisingly, the construction seems very solid despite being an overseas table. There is some wiggle room in that though.

My budget with delivery and install is at the 3.5k mark ideally +350 for some 860 felt. Used market around me doesn't have much that I'm in love with, so think I'm going new. Buying my first table and going for an 8' as anything larger will be tight for the room.
