Looking to buy a pool table. Is this a good one?

Going to fix a game room and was looking at buying a pool table. Got an email from Costco about this one:

Ive looked on craigslist and most of the tables I see that I like, folks are asking around $2000 plus I'd have to move or pay someone to move. The Costco one they deliver and setup the table. I really dont know what Im looking for other than a slate top.

I'd try and find full regulation if you have enough space. Otherwise thats a purty good set up. I would test out the ping pong table though for feel, durability before making the purchase.

9ft full regulation? I've got plenty of room downstairs. I'll be putting in a pool table, foose ball table, some other things, plus a media room. I've got about 2000 sf to play with. No way to test it out since the Costco stores dont have them, only online.

    • No it's not, there isn't a single coach who's only job is to win games, because no coach is going to win games unless they're also improving the quality of play out of their players. For coaches with contending teams, winning is their #1 job, but I think it's a more than reasonable take to say that coaches of not yet contending teams winning comes second to making your players better. We have 11 games left, if you gave me the option of winning all 11 of the games in terribly ugly fashion to where we don't improve the quality of our players vs we lose all 11 games, but do so in spectacular fashion where our players show significant improvement, I'm taking option B every time. Because option B is the path to future and long term success, while option A is a path to short term happiness at the expense of long term franchise stability.   And yes, that is clearly an extreme example that could never actually play out in either way, but you still know what I mean.  And no, it has nothing to do with draft position, it's about how good will these players be a year, 2 years, 3 years, etc, down the line, when you hope to be a true contending team, because nobody actually thinks we're that type of team this year unless you're literally crazy
    • Yeah if that's what we're signing up for here, then I just can't get behind it.  That contract extension that Hurney gave Jake that offseason was BRUTAL.
    • That's quite literally his only job. Every year has new goals, new identities, etc. But the one constant is to win at all costs. He isn't guaranteed to be here next year UNLESS he wins. Why would he give a poo to mold a bunch of players someone else might be coaching?
