I was just reading that Mosconi's high run was on 4x8 table with 4 7/8" pockets. That got me wondering, is there an "official size"? Why not just use a 7 foot table with 5" pockets? I'm sure any pro would keep potting balls till the cows came home. Also, what size table is used at the DCC for...

I was looking at my pool table and I noticed something odd. It just looked like it moved. Like one end "moved", it's hard to explain. When I look at right on, it's as if the pool table is not perfect square to the rest of the room. Almost like someone picked it up, and deliberately put it...

I've been playing on my new table and I've noticed there are "holes" under the cushions. What I mean, is I can run my fingers on the slate under the cushions and can feel depressions where the slate screws are. I assumed that when they used bondo/beeswax, they do the slate seams AND the holes...

So my new pool table was just installed, and I was watching them. Well as they were stretching the cloth they were spraying water on it. Not that I know much about installing a pool tables, but I can't recall anything I've heard around here about it. Is that normal? Because I thought any liquid...

Alright, time to finally get a real (Not MDF) pool table. One of the things I've been looking for in a pool table is leg leveles. When my wife and I purchesed our house, we noticed the floors were uneven. Which was about par for the age our our house. We'll we got it taken care of (lots of...

Would upgrading a baseline model pool table be worth it? Here's the situation. I can't scrape up enough money to get the pool table I want. I can get a lower end one. So, let's say I got a Bwick Contender (Allenton, Black wolf, etc). Would it be worth it to upgrade to 1" slate, Super speeds...

I was looking at Olhausen's web site. Might any of you know if the Champion pro and Springfield are the only two tables with leg levelers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KSBms3yP4Y&feature=related If you pause it at .05 you can see it. What gives? I've seen the same in other breaks, is that even legal. That can't be good for the cue or the cloth.

I see both Brunswick and Olhausen offer lifetime warranties on their pool tables. I also see that most of the mechanics here do aftermarket services, whether recovering tables or tightening pockets. Does a warranty play any kind of part after purchasing a table. I guess, what I'm asking is since...

I plan to upgrade my pool table (from a Sears special to a Olhausen, probably Belmont) in about 3 or 4 months. Well, after looking at the hackwork thread it's kinda got me worried. How do I know I won't end up with an install that will leave me with something worthy of that hackwork thread. I...

So I was just at the local billiard shop looking for a new cue. Well, I was checking out the pool tables also, and came across a table called the Bordeaux by Olhausen. I don't recall ever hearing about it, so when I got home and check Olhausen's web site. And sure enough it's not even listed...

Billiards.com says they will beat Seyberts prices. Seyberts says, NO YOU WONT!

I'm buying a new pool table in the future (an Olhausen), and was just wondering if they had decent margins of profit on each table. I see staggering differences in price, anywhere from about 1700 dollars for a baseline model to about 9 grand for the coveted Gold Crown. Why such extreme price...

First I want to start by saying I know there is a million threads about cloth and which is the best. I've looked through most of them. However I never seen any relating to size of table. I was at the local dealer the other day talking to him about what table I'm looking to purchase in the near...

I know slate is used because it's heavy, flat, and doesn't warp. But why not just use a slab of steel? Steel can be flat, heavy, I don't know if it warps though. Just curious.

Oops, I posted without writing what I wanted to. Anyhow, i was watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnoLdjrCqZU Frederic Caudron is insane, what I'm wondering is how one can "see" six cushions away? I've never played 3C, but I'm facinated by it. I guess what I'm wondering is how do...

I'm new to pool, having just purchased my first (starter) pool table within the last six months. I'm also a new homeowner. Living in an older home (about a 100 years) and have noticed the floors sag. I guess I really didn't notice when we first bought the house because it wasn't much of an...
