RASSON BILLIARDS
We got lots of inquiries about Rasson Billiards MFG. VictoryII table after the Mosconi Cup from all over the world, thanks for all your interest! At the meantime, also some questions about the levelness and pocket sizes to the table. No bother to guess, here we'll tell you the facts about the two points:
1. SLATE LEVELNESS
Some people were surprised to one ball that Rodney Morris played and questioned the slate wasn't leveled. The fact is whole table was installed well on Dec.05th and we tested out a "0" flatness tolerance to every area of play surface(we were there till late evening and even missed the cocktail party of Matchroom sport just wanted to make sure everything be alright with assembly). Table was set up at the exact place that required by Stage company on 5th, but on Dec.06, just before the event, the Filming company tested the lights and cameras and then required the middle sight on end rail of table had to line up with the line between red and blue carpet to make sure a good TV effect, therefore whole table be moved slightly which may caused some less levelness to slate , but no enough time to get it be fully checked and leveled before the event. So on Day 1, people saw the weird move of cue ball. But table was soon leveled on Day 2, so no problem then since Day 2.
2. POCKET SIZE
Some people questioned about one "skid in" ball of Mark Gray played on Day 1.
Corner pocket mouth is 4.25" and side pocket mouth at 5" according to requirement of organizer.
Shelf is cut almost same as what Brunswick did years ago for Mosconi Cup, Diamond's is about 1" deeper, but if you look back Mosconi Cup of years ago and you'll find Brunswick used same shallow shelf. The new ball, new cloth and lights make balls look like "skid" into the pockets and make pocket sizes look larger. When cloth not that new from second day, pockets looked tighter. Many people told us from Day2, table played much tougher.
According to the calculator of a Billiard University, this table be used at Mosconi Cup would still be a "Tough" table.
Apparently, the pro players now are more experienced and skilled than years ago, so maybe they need a "Very tough" table, but which would be easy to achieve and it's no problem to provide a tougher table next year!
Above are two statements we'd like to make about the table. We hadn't have planned to make such statements because it's unavoidable that people would hear different voices for one thing, but we have to say it now because we want people who really care us and the sport know the facts before making an judgement!
Thanks Matchroom Sport provide the fantastic Mosconi Cup! We as a billiard manufacturer, would like very much to promote the development of billiards sport, that's why we support the events.
Thanks Mosconi Cup Team Europe and Mosconi Cup Team USA provided us the praises and also some wise advice to our table. We'll keep on the good and further improve on some details to provide you a more perfect table next year in Las Vegas!
We're not afraid of question or doubt and we still very welcome any advice or comments from anyone else that can really help us to improve on products. We wish to create truly good products and bring everyone an entertainment to play on our table. We also look forward to a prosperous development in billiards sport! We should all be together to make this sport going further and stronger!!!
Thanks everyone!
