Yeh you could change the shape of the pocket completely in theory, I like the way the diamonds play so would probably try and replicate that as best as possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about if I did this but instead of making fixed thickness spacers, I made the spacers so that they adjusted the pocket angle also? I am a carpenter with a workshop so this wouldn't be much trouble at all for me to do. Thanks for the help and sorry to the original poster for hijacking the...

Hmmm, that was a concern I had. Basically I am trying to avoid replacing the rail rubbers. I have just bought the table 2nd hand and they are in great condition. Another idea I had was kind of a cross between shimming and rail extensions. I was thinking of taking the original pocket facings off...

I am looking I get my brunswick down from 5" to 4.25" as well. I am planning on shimming rather than extending the rails at the moment (might extend the rails in the future). Did you layer several facings together or did you use one peice of neoprene sheet? Thanks for any help

It shouldn't be but I will give the whole table a good clean tonight. The cloth is a simonis 760 and has been on for about 2years, I am the only person to play on the table and probably average about 2-3hrs a week over that time period. Is there anything else that could be causing the big bounces?

I have gc3 and the cushions are really starting to ping. It doesn't happen on all shots but usually more noticeable in slow to medium pace shots, the ball will appear almost to come off the cushion quicker than it goes on. I have noticed that it does get worse when the balls get a little dirty...

Thanks for the reply, I went ahead and did it yesterday afternoon. It worked great :)

Hi, just wondered if someone could help me with a quick question. I've got a brunswick GC3 that has been installed with the playing surface at 29 1/4", it has been that way for a year and is playing pretty level. I would like to lift it to 31". My plan was to get a car jack and wind out the feet...

This is my cue that I bought recently. It's made by wayne and is simple but I love it, the wood is beautiful. Oh, and it plays awesome too!

Thank you. It looks great, I love the effect it gives breaking up the colours of the veneers. Will be giving it a go

Do you mind me asking, what exactly is the black paper? Anything particular?

No, I found a thread on some website with a couple of people saying bonding ABS with epoxy can be problematic. Do you think it will be ok even if I don't thread the collar? Thanks for your help Also, Craig, why do you say no to ABS?

Might go for phenolic then

I plan on fitting an ABS joint collar to a cue. I have just been searching around on google and found that epoxy does not bond great with ABS, what are your guys experiences with this? Thank you

Thanks for the advice but I dont want the added cost of replacing the rail rubbers at the moment. I'm going to use the "pro pocket shims" that are 5mm each which is around 3/16". I am going to use them as pocket facings. Should they be glued to the end of the rail? If so is a standard contact...
