Received willfully. Been through it before, the lack of movement is frustrating.

The last straw for me, was a cue I shipped to a guy who was literally 2 hours away from my location. The cue took north of 10 days to travel 2 hours away.
That was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Some upstanding member here please slap me squarely for using USPS again. Bought a cue and asked for USPS shipment, it's been 10 days since shipment, with a full 5 days to hit the regional distribution center around 60 miles from origin. Now another 5 days and no update. Original estimated delivery was June 4.

And the USPS tracking site now has a banner stating possible delays due to the World Cup. How does the World Cup materially impact USPS?! They were waiting to roll out that excuse for months I bet.

The seller has been great to deal with, no fault to him.

I stopped using them for anything but letters moons ago.

Seems to me I recall playing a variation of 8 ball, where make or miss, you just got one turn at the table, alternate shots.

Anybody heard of this or is it time for Grandpa to go to the home??

It seems I remember we did that when we were kids. A vague memory.

Clean looks, a good price, and the 5-ball is orange.

What's not to like?

Agreed. His cues from the early 2000's are my favorite.

It has been 11 months, does anyone who has played on this table since have any additional insights? Quality? Banking? Pocket geometry? Purchase experience? Thanks!

We have one in our shop/showroom, and play on it regularly. The bank angles are natural, and the speed feels natural. Balls do not get pinched on rebound, or spring wildly off the rails.

The corner pockets are 4 1/2", with an entry angle of 141 degrees.

Purchase experience will be dependent on the dealer used, though it is a standard lead-time of approximately 4 weeks.

The spec sheet previously posted answers this. Accu-fast K66 with height of 1-7/16. My main question is did the fix the pocket angles? One vendor website says yes but others do not mention this.

The pocket angles have been corrected, as noted above.
I would also like to mention that with the cushion nose height being set to 1 7/16", the sub-rail thickness was also increased, in order to improve the rebound speed.

I wonder which rail rubber they use on the newer model tables? The Accu-fast rubber is 1/3 the mass and size of Artemis. The 12 year old 9’ Olhausen tables at our community clubhouse were just recovered with Simonis 860HR and they play slow. And yes, the pocket angles are incorrect.

The new Tournament Pro is a HUGE improvement in play quality, over any prior Olhausen table. The pocket angles have been corrected. Even with Accu-fast cushions the bank rebound speed is similar to other tournament grade tables in its class.
