Curious. I'm aware of a couple things with Verhoeven. Gabrial made some improvements several years ago but I don't see those but once every 3 or 4 years. What problems did you solve. Like I said, just curious. Honest question.

I asked my wife if I could change to blue from blue/green. Got a thumbs down. She's an - was Interior Designer with lots of letters behind her name on her business card. One thing she is expert on is Colors. I told her that everyone says blue is easier on the eyes and has better contrast with...

To me what's more amazing is how do you calibrate the tools required to get such accuracy. Then what tools are required to calibrate/certify those tools. What certifies those and What .... Of course there's an end to this since it gets to a "no need" area, but there's instruments that can...

I played my first tournament a few weeks ago after about 3 or 4 year layoff. Decided to do it cause I had the time and wanted to see everyone again. Of course there was the question "how you playing these days"? My answer was "I don't know. I'm about to find out this weekend. I feel I'm...

When I'm in that chair and a player is facing me on a shot, the one thing I concentrate on is not moving a muscle. Of course Pro's have a much better concentration level than I do, so maybe this stuff doesn't matter to Professionals? Have some doubts, but if he did see it and chose to go ahead...

Sort of agree. I don't watch much pool so don't know much about the robotic part. Watching 3Cushion and looking at Grand Averages it seems today's players are far better that yesteryear. That said, we all get brought down or elevated by our competition. Raymond Ceulemans left the scene for...

I'm talking about a shot like +2 Short - Long - Long - Short

I'm thinking if there's a better diagram that includes the table, the topic would be more understandable. If the OP is looking for a lot of throw by hitting ball 2 directly in the center??? Good luck. Haven't played these shots for a long time but my memory tells me about the most you can get...

Airplanes are put together with a whole bunch of small screws, rather than fewer but large bolts. I'm in the bolting business. Love lots of bolts. LOL Got scolded by a mechanic here when I showed my table with 2x more than old antique tables.

Just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. First, it seems that carom cloth is pulled much tighter than pool cloth. If your mechanic knows this and has the strength, no problem. To me the most important thing is folding the rail cloth. If done correctly, the backup angles will be...

Sounds like it was total FUN. Even the defeats.

Legit question. Does 5 to 1 go to 4/side pocket? To your later comment to the Cobra, In the old days on a Carom table when the head spots were 6" apart, you could count them as 2-1/2 for outside spot, 3 for the center spot, and 3-1/2 for the other outside spot. The center spot hasn't...

Don't play much on pool tables but I've only experience one Brand that banked to the Corner 5 System. That would be the old Vitalie. Haven't yet tried a Diamond with clean cloth and balls. Don't expect to find that situation either. Unfortunately. With most pool tables, banking from the...

Just a guess, Wouldn't that be where the slate ends under the rail?

Try George Ashby, he lives in Murrayville, Illinois

I didn't watch the entire video. I only wanted to show the final wipe with the cloth prior to the install. I don't know how to cut YouTube vids, or if that's even possible.

That's called "The Electricity Rule"

The problem is it will drive you crazy trying to get the bubble between the lines or even close. I'm thinking this level is way beyond what slate specs are machined to. After a day or 2 of work you might/maybe get some acceptable/compromised results.

Just speculating here. I'm think slate is superior to marble and granite for one main reason. It has the ability to wick condensation from the cloth, while granite and marble is impervious. Slate under my theory will help keep the cloth drier without heat compared to granite and marble. If...
