    Tough table due to cloth?

    Well I'm glad to see that I'm not crazy when it comes to the speed inconsistencies. Maybe someone that knows more about cloth can explain this, I can see cloth rolling off, or slow, but how in the world is the speed inconsistent? It seems like it takes x amount of speed to get the ball...

    Tough table due to cloth?

    No I agree completely, I know that Mali makes some good cloth, I just meant the entry level stuff you get with a table is really bad. Don't they have a line called Versa that is a good cloth? I have a 7ft table, I recently played on some bar boxes with Forstman cloth on them and really liked...

    Tough table due to cloth?

    Good info, I have a similar table, I wounder if shimming the pockets just to make the facings a bit harder would help the problem. No doubt some better cloth will help. I'll try cleaning the balls, and throw some wax on them just to go all the way in the other direction and see what happens.

    I saw it, but yet i still don't believe it!

    With my Olhausan I can put my knee under the arch of the box on the short rails and use my calf muscle to lift it a few inches while I slide cards under the legs. Kind of like standing on your toes. Some tables are much to heavy to do that though.

    I saw it, but yet i still don't believe it!

    Oh I know the trick, its lined mine, and my friends pockets many many times. But like I said, the real trick its getting out of the parking lot with the cash and your face intact LOL. I have to see this guy throw a dime in the coin slot of a pay phone. The return slot or the slot you put the...

    Tough table due to cloth?

    There is a table I have been practicing on a couple times a week that has been kicking my butt! An 8 foot Olhausen with this cheap Mali cloth on it. Mali is what the local retailer puts on it when you buy one, I know because I have a similar table bought from the same place. Anyway, I have...

    How about the nail standing on its head on the headspot with 3 balls racked around it? Very difficult to knock it over with the cue ball from behind the head spot. Its even more diffcult to get out of the join with 4 dealers money in your pocket!
