    Alternative to Brunswick Superspeed cushions

    I would guess that the life expectancy of Superspeeds to be similar to Artemis, if not a slight bit longer... In my experience, Artemis seem to be good for only about 15 years. Maybe slightly longer, if the table is in a controlled environment. My 9' Diamond is a Red Label, from 2009. It was...

    Go with Diamond black K55. The profile is a very close match. You should be able to source them through a European Diamond distributor.

    This is a first gen Gold Crown that I refinished to match the customer's 7' Diamond.

    Best 7’ table other than Diamond!

    In my professional opinion: Kasson are particle board garbage. Though, I have heard that the company built some decent ones... However, in all of the years that I've been in this business, I have not seen a single Kasson that was worth more than a few BTU's. Connelly made some very nice tables...

    Help Authenticating an AMF Playmaster Royal Oak Table

    I don't know about solid oak..... Your photos show a lot of pine, particle board, and plywood.... Not that it means much, but you mentioned that you had a Brunswick Monarch table that had 3/4" thick slate with MDF (presumably the slate liner). That doesn't seem right... There was a 2 1/2"...

    Monarch cushions

    Using faster cloth, to compensate for poor cushion response, is a poor band-aid solution. You're just swapping one problem for another. It will just make it that much more difficult to adapt to other tables that you may play on.

    Make sure that the rail bolts are tight.

    Identifying Rail Cushions? Klematch? For 9 ball?

    First and foremost, I actually work on pool tables. Every day of the week, in fact. I have worked on all kinds: from very high-end furniture-grade, to high-end tournament-grade, to low-grade firewood... That said, I'm sure that you realize that it is not a tournament-grade table. Though, I'm...

    Fold marks

    Try wiping the cloth down with a damp lint-free cloth. Wipe in one direction.

    What kind/brand of Mechanics Level to level a Pool Table

    If it's a ProAm, I would bet my life that it doesn't roll absolutely perfect. You probably just haven't noticed the subtleties. I'm not knocking you, by any means... Most people don't notice the subtle drifts. A ProAm has a plywood cabinet. It will move, throughout the seasons. I have a 9'...

    Table foundation recommendations

    That's because we're always busy working, and get beat to the punch. Thin rubber, such as the toolbox liner, under the feet is what I recommend. For gluing the cloth, Parabond M250 is probably the easiest to source locally. 3M-10 might be the most difficult to source. RKC250 is probably the...
