Looks like slightly less than 4.5" corners to my eye... :) Also looks like the rails have been extended with wood backing the rails also added. There's a table mechanic in NorCal who does the same type job as Ernesto. They ain't chesp though. Troy

The shims should be installed so they are an extension of the rail rubber, ie, even with the rail rubber. Troy =

I can't imagine how the wood/formica part of the table would RAISE. The cloth is held in with a "fir strip" that fits into a notch in the wood behind the rail rubber. Troy

I partially disagree..... Count the number of shims on each rail end. That's how to discuss the tightness of the table. Basic tables are single shimmed which yield about 5" corner pockets. Adding another shim will take about 1/4" off since each shim is about 1/8" thick and there are two per...

Sounds like too many people have been allowed to sit on the tables. The house must fix this first. The best way to repair the problem with the tables is to replace the rails when it's time to re-cover the tables. Troy

My preference is about 18.5 oz with a Talisman Pro Soft tip with a dime radius. Troy...~~~ More info than you requested... :)

I would think the following rule applies --- " 2.20 JUDGING DOUBLE HITS When the distance between the cue ball and the object ball is less than the width of a chalk cube, special attention from the referee is required. In such a situation, unless the referee can positively determine a...

I must be remembering an old package. The new package states "Not recommended for use on surfaces that are polished/glossy, or on finishes that are brushed, satin or dark" Troy

Magic Eraser® packaging specifically states "not recommended for wood". 'Nuf said IMO. Troy

Like RON or like GONE

Definitely keeping Janice and Blud in my thoughts. First a guy on CCB, now someone here. Godspeed to both. Troy

To answer the original post, cutting to the right with RIGHT english (or cutting to the left with LEFT) would be using INSIDE english. The "why" depends on the position desired for the next shot. Troy

You don't explain what you mean by "modified single elimination events", there are about 16 tourney charts at http://www.playpool.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=1. Pick the one that most closely fits you needs. If you have 14 players, use the 16 player chart. Insert one bye in each half of...

Don't be rediculous !!! I seriously doubt anyone in the so-called "anti smoking crowd" pulled the trigger. The Cal anti smoking law was passed by statewide referendum in '95 and fully inplemented in '98. By now (6-plus years later) everyone is accustomed to the law and reacts with no questions...

Yup, placing the head-ball anywhere on the spot is acceptable. Please do NOT create a crater though !!! Do NOT bang the balls to get them tight. Craters should NOT be necessary to acquire a tight rack. On tables where 1-Pocket is played, I like a line drawn from the spot to the end rail. This...

Prior to buying my "real" lathe, I went to numerous places for "Sewing Machine" motors, mostly sewing machine repair stores. They cost $15-20 each. Most are about 1/10 hp and easily bog down. I burned up about 6-8 of them. Troy

Or lose..... :) :) :)

Using a 12" Machinists Level with a combination of wood shims and playing cards. Check the slate every diamond or so with the level in both directions (short rail direction & long rail direction). One "tick" on the level means the table level is off about the thickness of a dollar bill. That's...

I've never had a de-lamination problem with Talisman Pro tips. The only problem I've ever had was my fault when I first started installing them. Troy

AMEN !!! Troy...~~~ Knows a bit of what Chris is going through
