So I just upgraded mine with adjustable arms, a lever dial indicator, and am mounting a 2" x 2' steel strip for the magnet hold down.
I haven’t screwed down the strip yet as I wanted to fiddle with it a bit to make sure it's where I want.View attachment 879194

CavinTan can see the nuts in headstock pretty clearly on this pic

They're different shots is all. The closer to perpendicular the entries, the greater the difference between run and none.

For instance, a skinny LSL (end of the table) can be affected on either long rail and can be easily manipulated to produce varied results off the 3rd rail.

When the cue ball hits a rail without running english, it loses some of its speed to friction with the rail. The friction starts the cue ball spinning - yes, in the direction of running english - and the ball doesn't follow the perfect reflective angle coming off the rail. If you put running english on the ball before it hits the rail, the cue ball keeps that speed and moves more easily and naturally along the desired angle.

That’s exactly what I originally asked and was wanting to know . Is 3 1/2 right for this original table ? If so then I’ll leave it be

I believe Touch of Middle is still available.

instead of pointing out how my post is wrong it is more appropriate just to make one where what you think is the right way.

and improve your reading comprehension as what you think i am saying, is your flawed interpretation of it.

Well, agree streamkateering, disagree Bigfoot is interesting.

The size isn't a draw for me. BFD 1-2 feet more average distance. Precision happens at the object ball not the pocket.
Maybe Bob Jewett can figure the increase in landing zones too. They should at least use all 15 balls and maybe another row of 6. Call it Big Rack Pool.

Yes, no financial interest in any of it.
