    Cloth stretch index.

    All tables have 7 inch more on the short side than long side and on the small table that make a bigger difference on the ratio

    Cloth stretch index.

    I know that, but when the cloth is stretched to 2 inches on the short side, then 1 3/4 inches on each end, it's very tight and does a perfect job. You have to look at the results and track them over time to know. A cloth stretched at a 1:2 ratio will definitely loosen on the short side; I know...

    Cloth stretch index.

    No, pool table are not twice as long as they are wide, you are wrong, 9 feet pool table slate are 57'' X 107'' and not 57'' X 114'', how long have you been in this field to not know that?

    Cloth stretch index.

    From everything I've read here, everyone stretches the length more than the width, and that's a mistake. If the length is stretched more than the width, the width will loosen quickly, and that's a fact. This is because the width is greater than half the length. 57 x 107 is an example. At first...

    Cloth stretch index.

    We stretch our 860, 2 inches on the short side and 1 3/4 inches at each end of the long side, and it's perfect, very little play after a while and equally on both sides. Stretching more on the long side than the short side is WRONG.

    Break tips.. whats good?

    Bulletproof breake tips aren't good for heavy breaking; they're too flexible. I installed one on my break cue and threw it away the next day. HammerHead give 2 to 3 MPH more speed than any tips I tested and I tested a lot on Predator speed application, for me HammerHead and White Diamond in second.

    CPBA ROYAL STRETCHING INDEX ON 9 FEET

    Yes, it seems a completely different matter than the Simonis and the Royal has less nylon than the Competition, so may be less stretch too than the Competition. I was thinking of making the side pockets before stretching the 2 ends, we did it on 860 and it went very well. Thanks for...

    CPBA ROYAL STRETCHING INDEX ON 9 FEET

    I will have one to install a bit later to make test, I have no real answer anywhere, so I will find the index like the RKC method, but in proportion not necessarily the full stretch less 3/4 inch, I will compare the full stretch with Simonis and go in proportion, I think that will a good...

    You say that I look more and more stupid with each message I publish, but deep down you really don't seem so sure about that and that's why you feel obliged to respond to me with foul language. You also say that I'm the only one interested in pocket dimensions, but in reality right here on this...
