http://billiards.colostate.edu/PBReview/Stimpmeter1.htm lots and lots of variables here .....I think ideal is 4 1/2 - 5 rails with a firm hit from end to end .... did you have your rails re-calibrated to fit modern rubber? do you have modern rubber?

I don't think all are producing "great equipment" diamond is the way to go, any gold crown you buy will have to be modified to play as good as a diamond. Olhausen is not even in the same class. why? because Diamond has a one piece slate, multi-point leveling system, the best rubber, best...

http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=147393&highlight=slate+warp seems it is a bit controversial if the slate is actually technically "warping" or not but it does / can change shape over time. The above thread argues both ways.

damn I was waiting for the Mike Douchetrain videos. I want to know how to whine and complain enough when I'm loosing to get a 24 page thread on AZ billiards. That is a true art.

great blog ....my wife even laughed and she knows nothing about pool ....she does however know a douchebag when she sees one ..... Mike Douche-Train needs to get a reality check ....hopefully this is it. He better learn to fake it till he makes it, because he's gonna be at the bottom very...

it's funny because he knew not to stack facings to close the pocket and he knew the subrails had to be extended to close the pocket. why not just cut a piece of wood and nail it to the subrail instead of stacking and shaping rubber?

nice subrail extensions :) ...

isn't it obvious? "K66 cushions play at their best when the sub-rail is set at 1 5/8" thick, with a nose height of 1 3/8". K55 cushions play their best when the sub-rail is 1 11/16" thick and a nose height of 1 29/64"ths...but no cushions really play at their best with a sub-rail thickness of 1...

that probably means they were modified to take k-66. but they should have been modified to take k-55 because that is the correct cushion for that subrail thickness ... so you can put k-66 on again or have the subrails modified to take k-55 which would be more correct for the table. that's my...

3M-10 no nails please that's hackwork talk. btw, how do you know what profile cushion to put on your table? was it modified to take modern rubber?

what is the rail height with the k66 on ?

still won't change the bank angle. if i hit a ball harder it will compress the rail more but the angle of bank won't change. if there is no spin on the ball that is. obviously a heavier ball at the same velocity will compress the rubber more, but the angle of return won't change .....

this belongs in the hackwork section .....did the guy even try to stretch the cloth or did he just lay it gently like a table cloth and install the rails .... this has to be a joke.

if the balls are the same size why would weight change the bank angle?

it's not that one is better than the other; the issue is that the bevel and thickness of the subrail have to match either for k55 or k66 if they do then the play will be identical assuming that the same rubber is used.

just out of curiosity what is the rail height?

yeah ...k-55's would work okay but make the playing surface small. k-66's need to be set really low on the setting strip .....they don't look right but they play pretty good and keep the surface correct. however getting the recalibration is the way to go ... I am just wondering why artemis or...

it pulls the fibers up out of the cloth..... use the x-1

The thing is that this guy is trying to make money on selling cushions ...when he should be making money on his labor and time installing them .... it used to be auto mechanics, plumbers and the like would get materials and then charge a markup ....but then people found home depot and the...
