Another plus of me getting my basement done asap, is that my folks are giving us their pool table. Now that us kids have moved on, it does not get played that much. It is like 15-20 years old, but was top of the line back then and has a 3 piece slate top which I believe is around 5/8 or 3/4. The felt is still very nice, but I may go ahead and redo that during the move.
One question? Can pool balls get old or lose their action? I can still get 6-7 rails with them using the old arm toss, however, they just don't seem to have as much english as they used to when I was younger. Granted the cues are the old wood standards that came with it like you see in the bar, so I plan to get some new cues. I called a local place that we bought it from and they said we could also look at the bumpers, but I think they are also fine.
