Toughest Table?

I love knockers.

How tough is this table?
This is former martial arts fighter Steve Vineck from Fredericktown, Missouri who created a huge pool table, its length is 9.1 meters. He made it on the site of his pool, spending 39 thousand dollars on the construction of the largest billiard table took about 250 hours, local enterprises provided it with the necessary material, provided 38 sleepers and five trucks of gravel, and also used four cubic meters of concrete, which helped to make the surface smooth. The sleepers were used to make curbs around the playing field. Steve Vinek tried to strictly adhere to all proportions and therefore his pool table is the same as ordinary tables, but only four times larger. The pockets correspond to the balls, which were colored bowling balls weighing 2.7 kilograms. A cue for such a billiard table would be too heavy, so the balls are rolled only by hand.
By the way, Steve Vinek came up with a new sport - knockers, a kind of mixture of billiards and bowling. In 1985 he participated in a billiard league and thought it would be good to play on the court, hence the desire to build a giant billiard table

I think Romines Hi-Pockets in Milw. WI has about the toughest pool table I have ever seen. I believe it was a Verhoeven 10ft. table, it plugged into the floor but I didnt see any electronic coin mechanism on it or ball return. I played for like 3 hours on this sucker, never even made a ball, the pockets must have been so small they were not even visible. On top of that it appears as if someone had walked off with the majority of the pool balls, there were only 3 left, apparently practice cue balls because they were colored red, yellow, and white with no numbers. That was a couple of years ago, Im planning to go back and try that table again to see how my game has improved, Im guessing ball pocketing on this 10 footer will be easier now that Im a little more experienced. :thumbup::thumbup:
