The local bar where my team plays has 2 valley 7' bar tables. I won't sugar coat it - they aren't in the best of shape, but the owner will recover them for us when it becomes necessary. They play fairly consistenly for us.
Our league doesn't play in the summer, and for the first time this summer I visited our league night bartender when she was working. While I was waiting for my dinner I rolled some balls on the tables. Both tables seemd to have rails that were WAY to low. Even gently rolling a ball into the rail got you an audible hop when it came off, and when I grabbed a cue and hit a fairly stiff shot it bounced out almost 2 diamonds before landing, and then hopped again when it hit the rail nearest me (this is the long way on the table)
The bartender swears no one has touched the tables over the summer. Can THIS much of a change be caused by a change in humidity? Or should we be telling the owner to get them looked at before the season starts in a month?
Thanks for any input.
