    CDX Supershaft?

    I bought one for my wife last year. I had never shot with a ld shaft prior to hers- ive since shot with a few others and i will say the cdx does what its advertized to do... It feels alot more "rigid" than the standard shafts im used to. They take a bit of getting used to at first- it really...

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    After playing on it for a few days I think im going to switch to something else... It plays way too fast for me- I shoot pretty much just 8 and 9 ball. I dont really see how shooting on this could help my game at all. On average my breaks are dropping 4-5 balls, before it was 1-2 occasionally...

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    Its definantly fast.. Im not sure exactly how it compares to the league tables we play on but it seems faster to me. I shoot league this thursday on a diamond smart table, i'll be able to make a better comparison after that. I can say it was a royal pita getting it leveled up... I used a...

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    Ended up buying the 3m scotchweld 10 adhesive.... Almost didnt get it- had it sent to my local grainger store for pick up this morning. I guess its some kind of hazardous something or other and they dont sell it to the general public- the girl asked if I was a business owner so I bullsh!tted...

    I appreciate all your insight and alot of people (including myself) respect and value your opinions on the forum. My next question is- what would you do in my situation? (aside from doing research next time before I buy something:embarrassed2:) Are united tables bad? What makes them substandard...

    I already had all my cushions replaced. I did call ridgeback, unfortunately they didnt have anything for united tables but did offer to custom make me some if I chose to send them my rails.

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    After reading up on it im thinking I wont be happy with the 760... According to everything i've read it's too fast for 9 ball and more geared towarda straight pool or one pocket.... Kinda pisses me off the guy would tell me its all basically the same. How big of a deal would it be having 760 on...

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    I initially wanted the 860 HR they said that they had to 760 on the shelf and it was pretty much the same?!?

    Recovering barbox with simonis 760 adhesive help

    I bought some 3m super 77 spray adhesive per the advise of the shop I purchased the cloth from. Everything im seeing online is saying to use 3m fastbond 10 on simonos cloth for glue down methods. I have no problem doing that but I cant find the stuff anywhere... Is it essential to do it with...

    Everyone has seen "that guy". No one wants to be "that guy"...

    Im that guy to a degree, although I try not to be. I just have a soft case with a $100 mcdermott in it- nothing fancy... My game is better some days than others. Two out of three times I can run 3-4 balls per shot but other times I over and under cut shots so bad you would think I was...

    Biggest mistakes made when reclothing a table

    Glad you posted this. I just moved our table from the rec room above the garage into the house. We play on some diamond tables during league so we chose to cloth our 7' united barbox in simonis as well. We needed new rails so like you- I opted to have a local company recover them as well but...
