Make sure they stretch long rail to long rail first (as per simonis install video) and then lastly short rail to short rail. Mine got done the other way round and I got some nice stretch shadows. I subsequently bought the install video and will be doing any future recovers myself. Not alot of...

Did that 6x12 have snooker cloth on it ? Balls are supposed to roll off on snooker cloth due to the nap on a perfectly level snooker table. (yeah I know, as if that game isn't hard enough without that aspect as well) I suspect using a machinists level is the *ONLY* way to get a snooker table...

It would be very interesting to see a ball "rolling off" on a table that a starrett shows is 'level'.

Yes, I agree, I prefer Equal Offense over the ghost. Less time racking & much more time potting. [for my skill level (D)] Here's the format / rules for Equal Offense. (It's really good that there is differing options of play for various skill levels)...

If its gonna be a hassle to modify the light mounting to suit central table placement - then yeah leave it off centre. When u get ur 9 footer you may need to modify the light mounting to give you more space on the short rail end. Ur bar height may be ok for cue backswing on a level stroke -...

Nope - that's incorrect. (I recall seeing the logo on my playing surface when my cloth was draped over table during install) http://www.iwansimonis.com/en/page/17-installation-information When installing SIMONIS™ cloth, be sure to put the MARKED SIDE UP. This smooth side has printing on the...

Simonis Logo is on the playing surface side yeah ? Cloth bunching up test is a good one. Also - get some objective data ! :-) (do a speed test on ur table and also do a speed test on the table u *think* is faster than urs that also has 860 on it) Tables need to be same size for speed test...

Centre it top to bottom. (75.5" from each long rail to each wall) 64" from the right hand side wall should be ok. Play on ur 8 footer for a while in this position and see how u like 64" from the short rail to wall & see how often / how much the bar gets in ur way. (you are planning on getting a...

Look up Bob Jewetts cloth speed test. It's standardised for a 9 ft. table though. approx. 9 seconds to travel from one short rail to the other. You need a stop watch. Hit softly from the head spot - start the timer when the CB hits the foot rail. The speed of the shot should be such that it...

Yeah this is it - 9ft table query. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=383915&page=2 You must have decided against trimming the end off ur bar ? I would put ur 8ft table centered as per my post (#25 page 2 in link above) Roughly 75 inches from long rail to wall on both sides...

I've seen this room posted before ? Were u asking about fitting in a 9ft table last time maybe ?

The font looks spot on for super pro's. The slightly blurred colour boundaries are consistent with super pro's. Brilliant white is what some/most super pro owners with cream or ivory balls would prefer I'm sure. (I know I would) Brilliant forgery ? or ur lucky to have a set of 'white' super...

Say you make 2 balls on the break - they need to be spotted. The foot spot is not free. Where do you spot the 2 balls pocketed on the break ? I'm guessing you spot as close to the foot spot as possible / as the obstructing ball allows & along the foot string. If this is the correct rule so...

or a measles ball. <my super pro set> (and/or possibly other cueballs also methinks ?) My super pro's are NOT bright white and the colour boundaries are slightly blurry. Pics of the numbers on ur balls will help identify. But they sound like premiums or premiers from what u have described so...

I sit corrected then - can't say I have visited too many pubs in QLD & VIC. but yes - 7 foot may be the norm everywhere... real estate is big bucks in any venue & can totally understand why 9 footers aren't used. Yep - its a horrible game to play when the cueball is a different size / weight...

Most pubs Australia wide who've got a coin-op table(s) would have the US style cut pockets on those tables I'd wager ? (easier to make pots / faster games / more revenue from the table) Decent US tables in a "pool hall" seem a little rare indeed - though I thought I came across some info once...

Thanx for all the input guys, glad I wasn't the only one that was scratching my head. Some good ideas and thoughts there. Will Deffo check out sfbilliards PP drills, sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Agreed - but then this drill wouldn't really be a 'cut shot drill' if you were working on moving the QB to good position for the next shot down the line. yeah ? I *think* the blog owner is specifying moving the QB back to the original position for each shot. (but it's still slightly ambiguous...

<jeff's suggestion> ok yep sweet. Much easier that way. Just wasn't clear / I wasn't sure if it was a 'setup a line of object balls' type drill or not. Thanx Cheers.

I like this ALOT - I shall adopt this method of ghost score keeping. (for the 6 ball ghost - yep - I live in bangerville :embarrassed2:) Cheers.
