There are so many factors involved...pocket width, pocket angle, down angle, stacked shims vs. subrail extensions, your technique, etc.

Where are you located? Maybe someone on here is in your area and would be able to better help you out.

stacked shimms seems like a good description of what i have
i think??
i recently had super speed rails put on
would be willing to go to artemis if recommended if extending the rails is the way to go

Call Mark Gregory - 770-548-4292
 
Table

Send your rails to mark, he ships the rails in and out all the time.
Well worth it! He wil inform you how to ship your rails to him.
 
The rails are what make the pockets.....
The pocket is just a hole, the rails are what determines the width of the opening into the pocket as well as the down angles, that will make the table play easier or harder.
The rails are equally important as the bed.

If you want to be able to make a ball that should fall rather than Jaw like your experiencing now. Than I suggest you send your rails to Mark he is one of the best at what he does, that is make your rails play their best. You have already paid good money for new rails, problem is the mechanic apparently didn't know what he was doing. Take my word for it mark will do right by you.

shipping the rails to him how does that fix the pockets???:confused:

Mark will extend, modify and calibrate the rails so the pockets play right and tight. This will require a new cushion set but you can save some $ using Diamond Black cushions or go top shelf with Artemis. Talk it over with Mark. You won't be disappointed.

It might seem like a major undertaking to send the rails to Mark, but remember: this is a 1time job and his work will result it lifetime improvement.
