A friend just sent me this. A pool hall in the Philippines has these newly installed. Owner went to China to buy them.

I hear that a wood support is stronger being flat, then on edge.
I tend to like your posts, often because you do such an ironic
balance between trolling and genuine curiosity. Can't tell in this instance?

IMO MDF slate liners are not ideal. But really hard to believe they survive in the tropics. That stuff blows up like a marshmallow as it gets damp. Then rots.

(I don't think any beam in any material will support more weight when laid flat as opposed to being on edge and adequately sized or braced to avoid buckling)

Damn bro, you hit the nail on the head! I bet he is an interesting guy in real life. I don't understand the anonymous
part of this website. Why the need for a screen name? Mine is
my name and where I am from

If its a Yalin its likely this one: http://www.yalin.cn/en/product/151.html BTW, Yalin is not the only Chinese co. that makes tables like this. They are Brunswick's Asian partner tho. Have been for a while, since around the time the GC5 came out.A friend just sent me this. A pool hall in the Philippines has these newly installed. Owner went to China to buy them.
Trent...you’re making me blush!
I do respect your passion for the work you do.
I don’t argue so arguments sake.
I just feel sometimes us small people need some
encouragement and support when asking questions
here in this section.
Some of us do not have anyone even half component
to do work on our tables, so we turn here to do it ourselves.
Also, by reading and asking questions here we as consumers
can be informed enough to spot bad “recover”, “table mover”
guys who should not be doing any work on a table.
That finish on the top rails looks dull and uneven.
Probably real wood but soft, with a cheap varnish finish.
I have seen Tables in PI and they are poorly designed, made and finished.
Most people never look under a pool table and know what to look for when they buy it.
Beauty is only skin deep.

This table is actually a little better than the popular Maxima table down there.
It's still pretty bad, of course.
That "frame", ugh!
The pictures are terrible quality.
Most likely are formica and not wood at all.

I am talking to a developer in PI about having a Billiards, Bowling, Children’s Gaming Center in a new MEGA resort development. I will consider local PI and Chinese tables depending on the design and construction. They are not going to like my attention to detail when looking at their tables.

Chinese pretty much copy anything they can to make money on, they are good old capitalists. Buyer beware.
Several years ago I was at Gunshow fellow was selling Microtech Ultratech Knives, total copies. The tell was serial number was in wrong location, and all had same serial number. Even the boxes, and warranty cards looked real.
The Rasson OX they are using in Mosconi Cup seems to be playing awesome!!!
Trent from Toledo
It is.
The corners are honest .
Cant wait til MOSCONI COMES ON!! No matter who wins the Cup, it has been a pleasure watching all 3 days so far and the last day should be a NAIL BITER!!!
