New Olhausen tournament model..................

the table played somewhat slow.
I wondered if this might be the case... I'm hoping to learn a LOT more about these tables, in the coming weeks. Interestingly enough, the Sales Sheet, on the Olhausen website states that the tables use "tournament standard" 1 7/16" nose height. I'm not aware of any manufacturer that uses specifically 1 7/16" nose height, so I'm curious where this 1 7/16" "tournament standard" comes from.

That said, Olhausen has typically used 1 1/2" thick rails, for most of their tables. With that, the correct nose height for a K66 Accu-Fast cushion would be 1 3/8". The only way that they could get away with using 1 7/16" nose height, without slowing the rebound, would be to increase the thickness of the rails. I'm curious what dimensions they used, for rail/sub-rail thickness.

Not that any of it matters... It looks like a nice table. And, it looks like Olhausen is trying to reenter the tournament fold. Good for them!

Thoughts on purpleheart insert for shaft threads?

Figure out how to cut threads as such and they will last longer than you ever will without the additional work of adding an insert for big pin cues.

Are you treating the wood before cutting, or is this just raw maple?

When a new table costs 10k all in with delivery and installation, a 20% difference isn’t that big a deal.

There is plenty of room for multiple companies to have a table out there. Especially if they are good quality.

Edit: plus no one knows factually what the price is anyway.
The Grand Champion (predecessor to the Tournament Pro) is $9814. I would guess that the Tournament Pro would have to be a fair bit more, considering the 1-pc slate, and the new pocket design.
