Just curious, what needs to be done to convert a snooker table to a pool table? (lets assume the table is in good shape) Below are my guesses.
1. New cushions (to get rid of the snooker rounds)
2. Does the rail need to be reworked to accept the new cushions? (Lets say for arguments sake you wanted it to play like a GC5 from the factory with Super Speed cushions)
3. Does the slate pocket opening need to be adjusted in size?
4. What else?
Thanks.

Thank you....but if not for Glen showing his work on here first......getting some mechanic's together.....and a lot of installers together on here......90% of us wouldn't be doing anywhere close to the work we all do today.
(Glen took a lot of so so table guy's and helped make them good installers.)
Glen was a big inspiration in a lot of the work I turn out today.....I give Glen lot's of credit for helping so many people....learn so much.
Glen is truly a great table mechanic....and like a brother to me.

What absolutely gorgeous table Mark. I hope to send my GC rails to you in the next month or so for subrail modifications and Artemis cushions. I will be in contact with you before I send them to make sure that you have time, after seeing how nice this Centennial is I suspect you will be busy for awhile.

I posted a thread and used that pic posted on the net to let others know of a particularly nice table I practiced on for a charity tournament. The table is over 100 mi away (1 way), and I still remember how nicely it played!
Your table is half way across the country, but if I ever get near there, I'd love the chance to play it. I just stare b/c it is just beeeee-oouu-teee-fulll !!
It's like the perfect woman,... attractive, Intelligent, feminine,........ well you get the idea.
5 star baybee ! :smile::thumbup:
Wow, now thats the 57 Chevy of pool tables.
Very nice job.
I just converted this Brunswick Centennial 5x10 snooker table.....to a 5x10 pool table...4.5 corner pockets....The tables in Cocoa Beach, Fla. where live streaming going to take place soon. I did a complete restore from top to bottom on this table.View attachment 228577

Mark, if you did, would they know how to do it ???Trust me......it takes a lot of work to convert a snooker to pool......I'm not going to go into everything needed to be done for the job.....that's why I get the job's......but will tell you.....I don't change anything on the slates...I like the deep shelf depth.....I adjust the rails to the slates on snooker tables.
