Great advice. Thanks!

Yes. I felt them and they had a little give when pressed, but they weren't soft. I figure I'll change them out for the Artemis cushions if they need changing. By the way, does anyone have any ideas what kind of felt that is in my original pictures? Does it look like standard cloth with a nap?

I saw that picture of what was claimed to be the Sportsman as well as the following thread with a Big G LTD, and it made me wonder. Thanks for the reassurance. http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=322262

Or is the Big G supposed to have only one center support? Maybe the Big G LTD has two outer supports?

I just caught this picture on the web of a Gandy Sportsman. The legs are almost identical to the Big G. Looking closely at the legs on my mystery table, it looks to have only one central support and more likely to be the Sportsman. Do you agree? If so, is the Sportsman a less solid table than a...

Can pocket angles on a Gandy Big G be altered with new cushion rubber, or would subrail and rail work be necessary as well? I also don't know what to expect from a stock Big G as far as pocket angles and openings go.

Thanks. The awkwardness of picking it up off of the floor does sound intimidating, but I guess we'll figure it out.

I just read a bunch of threads, and it looks like the consensus is that Artemis K66 are the best out there. On their website they claim to be full gum rubber. I saw a video of an Olhausen dealer claiming the Accufast cushions are the only ones out that are all gum rubber. If the Artemis is going...

I'm thinking about whether to go with Accufast or Artemis cushions if the Big G table I'm buying needs new rubber. I plan to ask the table mechanic to at least single-shim the pockets when installing new cloth. I like the idea of cushions that never need replacing, but I've read that the...

Thanks, Trent.

Wow. Thanks to you both. I won't worry so much now.

Thanks, Pat. I've already secured a disassembled Big G that I'm picking up this Wednesday.

I'm renting a UHaul to pick up a disassembled pool table this Wednesday. I have options of appliance (handtruck) dolly with straps, utility hand truck, or furniture dolly. I don't need to go up or down stairs at either location, and the truck is going to be within 20 feet of both storage...

Okay. Thanks.

Okay, before you adjusted your body because the shot changed, how did you recognize that the shot changed? The pocket has to come into play for that recognition to occur. So are you memorizing angles (like a fractional ball system would) before deciding upon a particular visual and pivot? Are...

I think I'm picturing what you are suggesting. How have the table and pocket told the balls that the shot has changed?

Okay. Thank you.

I'm thinking that when all is said and done with new Simonis cloth and set up, the $200 Gandy will actually cost me about $1000 if it doesn't need new rubber. Comparing that to the $1300 for the old Victor Cleveland table fully set up, I'm wondering which would hold up and play better over the...

Thanks. I've seen a thread describing Big G, and some people have thought it plays well. What are your thoughts if in good condition?

Thank you. Would you say that all three of those Gandys, if they're in good condition, play well and are solidly built? And would you happen to know how they would compare to a Victor Cleveland?
