Does that apply to table level as well
Predator Pool Table?

in his "defense" he did say it rolled off. I would guess the pocket plays differently than a tight GC4?? Predator table has a deeper slate shelf???

the fact it may/may not roll-off is not a table issue but a set-up issue.
And does that not go back to the table mechanic that sets it up?

None taken.
A little basic feedback is all I was attempting to provide.
I'll do my best to stay in my lane.

All good. Almost always interesting, regardless of forum type.Don't be discouraged, TipWilson. Internet interactions are often interesting.
I appreciate your input. Never take anything personally and you'll be just fine.
I've been on forums starting with CompuServe dialup in the 1990s. 35yrs of IT work. Years of admin and mod experience.
Oh nice! I'm guessing you developed the proper skin thickness many years ago.
My education on these matters was learned in Usenet around 1999-2003 or so. It was pretty fun back then.
I should have looked closer but I didn't think they looked like Diamonds but was taking the word of the one that posted it as he's seen them in person. I've only seen Diamond Professional or GC4's in pictures never in person .

A bunch of beautiful tables and one fugly.
If the Predator was a great table don't you think Oscar would have more than one lone one in the back of his room? I believe Oscar is also a Pred. dealer.
Who would buy a bunch of them with out testing them? Not me. I would have one in a room for minimum one cloth change. Have to see how it plays and how it holds up to commercial use. It is a new product and is barely available yet. I don't think anyone has labeled it a "great table". I am hopeful it is solid and helps our industry grow. Predator is a big name and known for quality.

Good point about having one table but why would you hide it in the back of the room. I've also heard comments from players there about disliking this table. Apparently some of the wooden parts are particle board, not positive on this, just what I was told.
i msg'd SAM about this and they said rails are solid wood. don't have any idea what may be pb, possibly slate backers.
Fair enough, wasn't sure about that one. Thanks for checking
It could be in the skirts or legs?
don't think pb would be in either one. possible but i doubt it. from pics i've seen the legs are metal with a skirt wrapped over them. i think the skirts are some kind of laminate as in the rail tops. i msg'd Pred with some questions. Post when i hear back from them.

True, and nothing wrong with using it for aprons. A decent laminate on both sides makes a very stable panel that will be less prone to scratches. PB isn't a bad material, there are bad uses of PB.
Personally, I would prefer solid wood. The first time a mechanic drops one on a corner, it will get damaged.
