My experimenting at home on my table turn up interesting results: By going 4oz. lighter my break speed increased by 2 mph and the ball spread was much better than with a 24oz. cue.

I have solved this problem by changing to Taom V10 chalk. I used to use a battery operated vacuum with a clear canister and would get lots of chalk out of the cloth when using any chalk other than v10. Now I get NO chalk out of the cloth thus I don't find a need to vacuum it any longer.

So your down to the ten ball, you call the corner pocket and accidentally make the 10 ball in a different pocket. So what happens now? The 10 ball gets spotted and you play the cue ball where it lays or is it ball in hand with the cue ball , or do you just lose the game?

I have lifted the slate, cleaned all the glue off the bottom and top, recovered it and the K66 rails are still 1/8" to high. I have to conclude that all Pacesetter tables use the K55 rails not the K66 rubber rails. Next time the tables are recovered I will use K55 rubber and it will turn out...

Pacesetter tables.

I am having an issue getting the nose height of the rails down to between 1 3/8" & 1 7/16" above table top with K66 rubber. They end up a little high no matter what I do to lower them. They are about 1/8" to high.

Here is my question: If I have an 8' table that is 44" wide and designed for K66 rubber. My rail nose is 1 7/16" off the cloth. What would be width be and what would my nose height be if I changed to K55 rubber?

Are Dynasphere Silver Set balls a good deal at $155/set. Going into a semi busy public type pool environment on freshly recovered tables using Championship 3030 cloth. If not what other choices at a similar price should I consider.

Glen, when recovering a Pacesetter table is there a torgue setting I should use to tighten the rails once recovered?

Hoping RKC see's this: Glen I am wondering if there is a torque spec to shoot for when tightening down the rails on 8' Pacesetter tables? We are going to have Sheldon recover them for us.

Six rails.

We have the 6 individual rails.

I am looking for recommendations as to which products to buy and from what supplier. I want to replace the pocket liners and boots on two Pacesetter 8" tables when I have the tables recovered next month. The balls tend to get black marks on them real easy right after I clean them so I suspect...

Can anyone tell me what thickness of facings are used on Diamond tables from the factory? I suspect they are either 3mm or 5mm.
