I thought this was going to be a list of the things found inside a ball return table. Beer caps. Thousands of chalks. Money. Joint protectors. Joints. Cigarettes. Lighters. Matches. Jewelry.
 
I unfollowed these guys on fb.. they push junky tables that they sell acting like they are not going to lose half their value the 2nd you buy them. Then they finally did a revue on a diamond.. they don’t sell them… and so much information was wrong. For example saying if you have a tight space it won’t work because they only come in 1 piece slate. Uhhhh no lol

Who installs Ledford’s tables? Their background? Most installers are nice people however they are 90%r's. The best customers are recreational bangers that have no idea what a proper set looks/plays like. More interested in a game room table/table set up. Tell us more about Ledford's Billiard Supplies.... Welcome aboard to Azb

Yeah, the first I saw of them was their Diamond review.

That told me all I needed to know about them...

The perfect supplier for pinball and air hockey ....maybe ping pong. Anyone I know that bought a Home table thought a great set up had to with cleaning up afterwards.. No damage to house when bringing it in, taking boxes and packing materials with them when finished, etc. But the set up is all over the place. Loose cloth, Poor stretching around the pockets, etc.

A look up the skirt of my table.

The entire ball return system is carpeted using scraps. The chute has loose carpet wipes over the balls as they return to the rack.
The panel has a touch latch system that allows quick access to the hidden compartment large enough to hold an arsenal. 🤷‍♂️
This was a free table well the restore cost around 120 but I scored free cloth as well.

If you look into my 1P corner pocket nothing will be in it. Nothing.

I got my ass handed to me by a local 680 who knew the pocket I was playing had issues. No matter how well stroked, over a certain speed, the ball would jaw in the pocket. Took me a couple of racks to figure this out, thinking it was my stroke and not the table in question.
After the match I worked that pocket. It refused to take a ball hit firmly. Try to draw, 4 feet or so and it would hang there laughing at you.
My pocketing speed is known as firm. Even when playing one hole.
I'm thinking the shelf depth is off causing the ball to rattle back and forth rather than falling.
I know a guy. 😉 Keep you posted.

I thought you and your opponent are supposed to swap pockets every rack???
