OK - this is interesting - yes, hmm... I just need to work out how hard I am hitting the ball when I do this test. (I'm hitting at pretty much my max power - but it may or may not be more than 20MPH) I think that smartphone break app may be of use to get an idea of my average max break speed -...

Question: Can you hit ANY object ball during a 'push out' ? (legal push out - declared immediately after the break) I normally dont hit any balls during a legal push out - but just wondering... to be sure, to be sure... Thanx Cheers.

1. The light was already in the right spot for this orientation (old 8 foot table) 2. The current orientation allows the room to be multipurpose (got 2 very young kids) 3. Figured it wont be a problem that happens often (not enough space to draw cue back) 4. Always had plan B in mind for...

Thanx guys - lots of good info / ideas. I like the idea of the ramp but its too slow methinks - cloth speed would massively affect the result between tables (unless we all had clean, new 860 - apples would be apples) The BCA spec is fine - but what is a firm stroke exactly ? (not very...

After all these years of technological developments in pool - why isn't there a standard (non-subjective / non-variable) test for rail / cushion response ? Maybe its not really relevant / important at the end of the day ? I like the cloth speed test (Bob Jewetts ?) - 7 seconds from rail to...

crikey - AU$91 delivered for both DVD's (pretty much same price seyberts or Aussie supplier) Hmmmm..... woulda been a good investment BEFORE I got my table 2 weeks ago methinks ! doh.

Hmm... is there a website address ?? http://www.seberts.com/ ? sebets.com ? serbets.com ? serbets.com ? I'm getting nothing on these ???

Hi All, thanx for all the input / info. I'd love to give a copy of this DVD to my installer ! How can a colonial like myself (In Australia) get my hands on a copy ? My installer spent like 2 hours putting the bed cloth down - round & round, side to side, un-staple / re-staple - stretch more...

I've got 55" from nose of cushion @ head & foot rail to walls (yep - squeezing in a 9 footer !) Plus the jutting out brick piers near 3 of the corner pockets. Hardly ever bump the cue (using 54" cue) but cant draw back much on those close to rail shots. (only had the table 2 weeks - got a 50"...

I think I got the hang of it now... :-D

Sweeeet - my installer told me they would fade - but he's a bit of a hack so didnt really believe what he said... (why is he a hack ? He didnt level the 3 slates properly before sealing with bondo was the biggy... also clothing around the pockets wasnt the best - getting some minor...

Hi All, Are stretch marks normal following installation of new Simonis 860 cloth ? If so, will they disappear in time ? Its only cosmetic - but looks kinda weird. The light seems to reflect off the un-even stretch of the weave / grain of the cloth somehow... It looks like the cloth is bubbled...

Not in Australia - unfortunately - but as they say - dont go to a bar if u want a serious game of 8-ball. BCA / World Standardised rules are the best to use IMO. Other house rules / local rules are just plain silly in some instances. Cheers.

Correct. I kept a rough track of how often I needed to play perp. to head or foot rail with CB on said rail before deciding on a 9 footer instead of an 8 foot pro. It is very rare indeed - but maybe more so for me as I have no restrictions on side rails, just the head & foot rails. But for...

Switch to a 54" cue - I did to enable fitting in a 9 footer at my place - so worth it. If ur a tall dude maybe 54" cue wont suit - was ok for me though, I'm just a 5' 7" shorty ! Cheers.

Hi All, Any comments or experience with this brand of rail rubber / cushion ? Does it come in different profiles ? (K55 / K66 or other ?) I *KNOW* I have this brand cushion rubber on my table - but dont know anything else about my table except that its cheap & made somewhere in asia. (The 1"...

My table has got cushions / rubbers with the Uylin stamp. Is this really good quality rail rubber ? (or average at best ?) I would like my rails to play a little more lively than what they do. (I can only just make 4 rails hitting from the head string at break speed down the table - minimum pro...

Nah, looks like its all because of the 'finishing vitrification layer' - according to the reply I got from Saluc below. ______________________________________________________________________ Dear SIr, The blur is actually the signature of the higher quality of the Super Aramith Pro sets. Indeed...

I got a reply from Saluc about this question - it reads... _____________________________________________________________________ Dear SIr, The blur is actually the signature of the higher quality of the Super Aramith Pro sets. Indeed, beginning with the Premium set and increasing upwards the...

How does this get applied during gameplay exactly ? Player A (Pro) Player B (Novice) Pro is spotting the Novice the 8 and the break. So Novice breaks... Play as normal until someone pots the 8. If the novice potted the 8 - he wins the rack ? (Is this correct ?) Thanx Cheers.
