The 20k was Australian dollars. Everything is ridiculously expensive here.
Once you add the markups, the taxes and dollar conversion, it just becomes not worth it.
I did calculations, it will still be too expensive, but it definitely is an option. Thanks!
Any pics? Pocket size? New cloth?
Hey Goldball - check out this thread if u haven't seen it before - might be handy info in ur research for pocket sizes / specs etc.

FYI - my table pocket specs are.
edited:
Mouth 4 10/16
Throat 3 13/16
Shelf 1 1/4
Corner pockets angle (facing angle) measures 142.17 degrees.
Would be interesting to know what ur mates H&S table pocket specs are. I'm guessing deep shelf & pocket angle greater than 145 degrees perhaps ? (u were saying his pockets don't readily accept hard shots up the rail)
Cheers.

143 miter angles are wide buddy, those are the kind of angles that kick most everything out of the pocket unless it's right down the middle.
Depends on the shelf depth maybe ? My shelf is pretty shallow compared to the average perhaps ?
I don't get any balls that rattle & spit if hit *straight* along the rail at speed. (maybe that's what u mean by 'down the middle' ?)
I measured the pocket angle with that plastic yellow gizmo. Not the easiest thing to read from memory / maybe not all that accurate ?
Oldschools cad program has my pockets at 141 degrees.
The mouth & throat measurements are much more accurate - if anyone wants to do the math the angle can be calculated from those ?
edit: I drew up the pocket dimensions and got out the scientific calculator - 142.5 degrees ?
edit2: Did another measure with the yellow gizmo and put my glasses on to read the scale - got 142 degrees 10 mins. = 142.17 degrees ?
Mouth measurement today was 4 5/8 (previous was 4 11/16)
Throat was 3 13/16.
Shelf 1 1/4
So yeah maybe 143 degree pockets are spitters - mine are closer to 142 and dont play tough or tend to spit & rattle ?

Wow - mouth to throat reduction = 1.6 inches !
And that shelf is deeper than average.
If he measured the throat 2 inches back from the mouth (as per the pic) then his facing angle must be huge ??? (147 degrees by my calcs ?)
No wonder its a tough table to make pots along the rails !
Cheers.

Is 143 degrees really that tough / that unusual ?
From the website :
http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/WPA_Tournament_Table_Equipment_Specifications
Horizontal Pocket Cut Angle: The cut angles of the rubber cushion and its wood backing (rail liner) for both sides of the corner pocket entrance must be 142 degrees (+1).
I'm guessing the (+1) is supposed to mean (+ or - 1 degree) ?
ie. WPBA pocket angle spec is anywhere between 141 to 143 degrees ?
Cheers.
The wider the pocket miter angle, the more it deflects the object ball across the pocket instead of deeper into the throat.

I wonder what table he got?
