    Simonis 860HR looks like it has chicken pox...?

    Burn marks by any other name are still burn marks from the ball whether from breaking, jumps, masses, hard draw, etc. 860HR is supposed to minimize that but not eliminate it. The Premiers are decent but don't have the same finish as Super Pros so upgrading the ball set should help. And JMO but...

    Strachan Billiards Cloth, ever try it?

    Many companies offer nap free (worsted) cloth but just a handful (like Simonis) that actually manufacture it themselves. Hainsworth in the UK is an example - they make Elite Pro which is sold in the US as Accuguard (Olhausen). Another UK company is Strachan that makes Super Pro (formerly...

    Which rubber for my rails?

    I guess it's worth repeating here for the un-informed - Artemis Pool 66 = K66 profile Artemis Intercontinental 66 = K55 profile On a side note - Accufast cushions have a lifetime warranty so it would be wise to check with Olhausen for replacement first.

    K55 Cushion Options

    This has been somewhat discussed and it seems the preference, after artemis, is for the diamond black cushions. Personally I'd use the diamonds or proforms. My last experience with Champs Tour Ed cushions was they seemed a bit harder then usual but the table they went on played ok. Champs ProAm...

    K55 Cushion Options

    IMO the only difference between The Diamond Blacks and ProForms is the color.

    Moving Pool Table - Across States

    Give a call to Donny (sdbilliards) SD's Billiards Service 714-943-7137 Authorized Diamond Mechanic He's in Orange County and may have a line on any Diamond's for sale in the area. IIRC I thought Diamond may warehouse some tables in Vegas so either he would know or you could call Diamond...

    what cushion type replaced K27

    At the current 1 13/32" nose height you're 1/32 off (low). The cushion dimensions you mentioned are close to K66. If you are definitely replacing the cushions you could test fit a small piece of scrap K66 just to see where you are with nose height. If not right on then I'd think re-cutting the...

    Simonis Buys Aramith

    I don't think Mr Bond was referring to Championship when he said "a certain other someone who sells a lot of tables" Doubt there will be many changes other then N.A. distribution possibly moving from Georgia to Chicago for Aramith products. In light of what Mr Bond said and concerning a certain...

    The balls jump after hitting the rail on my Diamond Pro.. Any ideas?

    For one, they are an established name and you can actually walk into many table dealers around the country and buy one. Outside of AZ many of the common folks probably never heard of Diamond but I think that's changing as Smart tables replace Valleys. We're well beyond the golden age of...

    Good luck with that. Much better to share the wealth or loss (partners) then try to go it alone.

    Need a pool room in chattanooga!!!

    LOL - thanks Dave. Just an FYI - folks can post new stuff as well as used on the classifieds site. What's interesting to me is that the OP perfectly describes the room where I first played pool in the 60's. A lower level (business basement) room with 10 tables and a guy at the desk that...

    Artemis cushions and Simonis 860/860HR on a home table

    Having 1" slate is pretty standard for most tables whether home or commercial and rails are typically glued up and not solid. If you take a good quality home style table and go with Artemis and Simonis you can expect the table to play somewhat better and faster then with OEM parts. This does...

    Brief pictures of Diamond's new 10ft ProAm.

    That's some serious timberstrand but I see no crossmembers so is it going to be 1 piece slate? Can't imagine what this puppy is going to weigh. :eek:

    FS- McDermott EK-1

    Good luck with the sale. I had listed a new RS11 and a barely used M7QR5 - both retired cues. Seems McD's don't go over too well here. I have them now on the site in sig and have received a few calls.
