    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...

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    I don't want to play devil's advocate, but I'm going to work with the inch index from now on and multiply it by the lengths of the slates and I think it will be perfect. I stretched my first fabric in a 1:2 ratio and see that it is a little tighter lengthwise. When you stop and look closer the...

    Yes good RKC, I understood, I was making a half-serious joke by saying that I would recut all our side pockets😁

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    I couldn't do that with the 3030 green that we had, even though I was thinking of stretching the next one 3.5 side to side and 6.5 end to end, I don't know if from one batch to another it might be a little different. There the next cloth to install is a green 860, I have to find the right...

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    Maybe Sheldon will tell us what he meant by this message! And to come back to the installation, I believe that those who stretch almost 4 inches on the width, do not measure the 4 inches each end and they close the ends to the feeling, this quit is less of 4 inch , I believe.

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    I don't know if you are familiar with the 3030 cloth, but I couldn't have stretched the 3030 that we had any more than we did. I went with 3.5 inch lateral without knowing what it would look like on the long side, we marked the cloth at both ends at 3.5 inch and it was very difficult to close...

    Championship 3030 stretching...

    Oh yes, I installed our first Championship 3030 today on a 9 foot table. Having had information from different mechanical installers, I went there with my feeling according to this information. I stretched 3.5'' on the short side and 7'' on the long side and believe me it was really the maximum...
