If table is short, how do you play pool--knees, on top of another table, etc? Also, how long does the pool stick need to be? Thanks for your help.

Put the pool table on top on another table. Two sticks came with the table. Grand kids 8-21 love it.

We keep ours on top of a cabinet that sits in our sun room making it the perfect height for play. Just put it on your table or anywhere that raises it to a comfortable level for you.

Everyone seems to have house rules. Ours are as follows:1) Scoring - Bottom tube 3 points, middle 2 points, top 1 point.2) only one team can score, so the team with highest value subtracts scoring from other team3) Game goes to 214) must win by 25) Each team shoots all three during a turn6) Team that last scored shoots first7) If bounced and it lands on bar, that counts as 58) we place ours 25 feet apart

It depends on the type of table you have. You can always use an 8foot k66 on 7foot. You will just have extra length on the rails. If you have a coin op or custom table you may require U22 rubbers. I found some 7 foot tables have problems with the k66. The ball will jump off the table if you dont have the correct rubber.

I would not suggest playing in an area where the cards are likely to get wet. It really depends on your definition of near a pool. I would love playing poker poolside but I wouldn't play in a pool.

Thank you for contacting us. Before you play, please read instruction carefully if you are first time user. When you push the joystick for throttle, please do it slowly. Please don't push too hard. And if possible please play outside and without strong wind.Thank you for asking Cece

I didn't need to look for new ones until I left the kids alone with game. I like the wooden dowel idea... Has anybody had any luck with other team players... Either NHL or Olympic colors?Only thing I've found are small players for smaller tables.

Subtract about 12 inches in width and 12 inches in length from the listed size. It definitely "feels" smaller than the tables at a bar/restaurant. It's fun to practice on but maybe not as fun to play 9-ball etc.

That would be a personal selection. If you use the cue for a all around play then you would want a medium hard or hard tip, if only for game play, a medium to medium soft. I would only use a medium tip for my game as I use a breaking cue.

There is a piece that comes with the set so you can hook it to your regular pool stick instead of using the small one that comes with it. Only thing i can think of that you are talking about.

No catch pool. Just ends. You can make it fun by digging a hole and dropping plastic in for them to splash into at the end? :). My kids and their friends love the slide! It is VERY slippery to walk on when wet!

Corection: The pool bass are smaller than the standard balls. I think they are 2.275", if I remember right. The table is sturdy and easy to put together. I hope this helps.

Just take stick and dip. Use a cup (Dixie or small solo)-I always wait until I get result before I dump it out. Make sure your don't dip past the max line. If you get the whole stick wet, it won't work at all.

You may be able to add your own game pieces (use a quarter or a button or something) for extra players. When I play, I often play with more than six, but I do not use the board. It can be a lot of fun to just play with the cards. I hope this helps!

It needs a table edge to attach to so isn't intended to be free standing on a pool table and the edge of a pool table is too thick. I have a 9ft pool table and used particle board to make a ping pong table that rests atop my pool table, extending a couple inches past the pool table perimeter in all directions. You only need to paint it if you want a more finished appearance. If you do paint you'll need to make sure it's a smooth finish and then will want to add a lacquer finish otherwise the paint will rub off on the ping pong balls. There are ping pong table tops you can buy ready made. I just couldn't find one I liked for a 9ft pool table.

The size of the table is 48" from one flat side to the other flat side in an octagon (8 players) configuration. I have tested it on a standard 33" or 34" card table and the flat sides of the poker table almost match the corners of the card table. This causes about a 6 inch overhang on each side of the card table. I am testing it with 6 people this weekend. I have no idea how it will work stability wise with either table. We may wind up playing on the floor or at one end of our rectangular dining room table. But if it works, it beats the heck out of a regulation poker table that costs in the thousands. It is too bad there is not a moderate cost poker table out there.

You would need at least a 2 1/2 foot deck around the pool for it to sit on. We love this poolside basketball goal. It is sturdy. The only problem we had was the net. We had to replace it.
