    832

    You tell me that the number of balls can be compared to what was done in the past regardless of the width of the pockets,:rolleyes:. Pocket size for valuing this kind of feat should be the first thing to consider. If the pockets are 1/4 or 3/8 inch larger than what others had including him in...

    What do we know about the size of the pockets, they seem very large, getting wider and wider.

    Best Tip on the Market - soft to medium

    I played with UltraSkin before and now I play with these ones, I prefer them to the UltraSkin, they don't come harder fastly like the UltaSkin and cost $4 each, give a try!! https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32844664030.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.55.51cf5e5b7lKImH&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

    3/8" facing vs subrail extension

    The only difference is that the 3/8 50A facings will have a little more vibration than thinner facings when powering shots along the rails in the corner pockets. I know this because I have experienced it more than once.

    3/8" facing vs subrail extension

    I order from this seller at Amazon, E.James, I always receive good quality material from him. I have often had returns to make with other sellers, bad hardness and bad quality material...

    3/8" facing vs subrail extension

    Take 3/8'' 50D neoprene and you won't have dead spot, 50D react pratically like cushion, go with 140 degree angle and 14-15 degree down for corner and 101-102 for side pocket, you will love it, I made some tables like that and that play very well!

    8 ball Rules.....

    We already have a weekly 9 ball tournament, the owner of our poolroom decided to organize another different weekly tournament and this at 8 ball to make it different. We played a week ago and we didn't really know the correct rules. The caliber at our poolroom is quite good, 500 to 700 Fargo...

    8 ball Rules.....

    Thank you all for your comments, what is happening is that we are starting a new 8 ball league additional to our 9 ball league and the vast majority of players have not played 8 for a very long time and since the regulations have changed a lot. Certainly we will come up with a version of the...

    8 ball Rules.....

    At 8 ball what happens if we call safe and hit one of our balls and only pocket one ball from our opponent. Can our opponent ask us to continue playing at his discretion or is it up to him? Thanks!

    Corner Pocket Angle U.S. Open

    My angles for our billiard room are 140 corner 5'' and 101 side 5 3/8'' and everyone are very happy with that, we will probably put a table tighter for high caliber players.

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    As I already said, I'm just starting to help the guy who installed here and who wasn't indexing anything and all his fabrics were becoming very loose on the short side. I'm going to install a non-HR 860 soon and I'm going to check its elasticity to get its specific index, the boss bought 20...

    Corner Pocket Angle U.S. Open

    You measure correctly, and 2 to 3 degrees each side of the pocket is a lot, it makes a very big difference in the pocketing balls. Has your table been retouched since it left the factory, also reality and what can be said can be 2 different things, we see this regularly. Now you know why your...

    Corner Pocket Angle U.S. Open

    Haha, no spaceship, there are already 2 astronauts stuck in space for another 6 months minimum because of their spaceship. The model that I show is very precise, it is within tenth of a degree, the company mentions less precision but it has a very good one, by checking it with machinist's...

    Corner Pocket Angle U.S. Open

    I use this tool, it works much better than an angle finder made with 2 thin flat blades. I put the thickest part where the reader is located on the nose of the cushion so that the thin blade is in the angle of the pocket but approximately 1/8 to 3/16'' higher than the nose of the cushion and...
