Bumper Pool
Any fun?
Downsized home and no spot for the pool table. Also, my eyesight is effed up, multifocal cataract + RK. I sometimes see double images at a distance. |
We had one at my parents cabin as a kid. Countless hours played.
Odd coincidence, we have a table from my FIL in our front room. Doesn't get played often. It does get use if we entertain. Not like that happened this year. Summary: I don't think I would buy one. |

As for bumper pool, it has been years since I've played but I never really liked it. |
sort of a combination of pool and pinball. some get really good at it... fun is a subjective thing. Never had the opportunity to try it...
Vision problems make cue sports frustrating...but despite my old age vision problems, I'm itching to get back to a pool table. |
My son has a pool table. Turns out, with the covers installed it's just the right size for his daughter's train set.

Sadly, that's how many home tables end up...also, a good place to fold laundry. ;)
Like I said..you need to love the game in order to appreciate it. Bumper pool...Evidently, when Playboy had a club in Chicago, there was a bunny who worked there who would take on all comers, easily beating the guys. Who was she? Later in life.."The striking Viking"...Ewa Mataya Laurance. Here she is on a local TV women's morning show..short 4 minutes video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX0KOzVe2s4 |
Had a great table for 20++ years.
There was a decade it got used a lot- especially when the kids were home. Used a lot. Then usage tapered. A couple of eye surgeries later- I can't line a shot up well. Kids only visit, grandkids not old enough. Got rid of the table earlier this year. Like anything else it has cycles. Overall, we enjoyed ours. gary |
Scored our pool table for free.
previous owners were moving and they didnt to move it. Moving it (then levelling it) wasnt fun. |
^^^ Which is why I took the attitude of: "So let me get this, straight; you'll disassemble, load, transport, unload, carry all the pieces downstairs, reassemble and level this table? And all I have to do is give you three one hundred dollar bills?"
