Anything I need to specifically know about breaking in my pool table?

It wasn't professionally installed for me, so I never spoke to a pro about what to do with it.  I shimmed it and its level all over, plays well, but it doesn't have that bar table feel to it. Felt is still pretty fresh from the PO and the bumpers are stiffer.  I joked to my GF that I need to start letting people smoke in my studio to get some tar on the table.


Also recommend a couple new cues for an intermediate/advanced player.  Something I can grow into. Prefer 18 oz to play with, 21 to break.

Shoot one ball, clean the entire table.  Repeat ten times.  Then you can shoot 3 or 4, then clean.  Repeat that 5 times.

Just make sure its level and the felt was pulled tight, other than that, use it.

Yeah, but I'd recommend putting down some plastic or a bedsheet first.  You don't want snail trails or spooge stains on the felt, and that shit's hard to clean.  Once you've done the deed though... Voila!  Broken in!

"Break it in" ya say....  Just throw your gf on the table and let the magic happen.

Well, don't tell her her about the asian side salad on the pool table she might cue up your rack and send your eight ball in the side pocket.

Break in a pool table?

The only thing different between a used table and a new one is a used one will play faster.

Spill a pitcher of cheap beer on it.  Let beer dry.  Play pool.

Invite some friends who smoke over. Let the burning ashes get on the felt. Bonus points if some drinks too much Bush Light and pukes on it.
