Installing wooden score keeper?

[benny2]

Hello,
I received a set of scoreing beads today with wire, 2 hooks, and 2 wire stretchers. The beads came on a nylon string and they have 3 little "brass" eyehooks installed on the middle and 2 end beads.

Can someone please explain the proper or best installation or perhaps show a pic. of one installed. Trying to figure out if I should take out the string and put the wire through all the beads, or if the wire is supposed to go through the 3 little eyehooks.

Thanks,

Well ...

The place where you bought it should have a picture. I don't know why people buy those 'kits'.

First and foremost, (from a money and tournament player), you need 2 sets of scoring beads with a minimum of 10 beads per. (I hope we are not talking about straight Pool beads for a big table)

You can get most everything you need from a Hobby shop like Hobby Lobby, and everything else from Lowe's or Home Depot, and cheaper too.

Eyehooks would be for if you were mounting to a wall, not on a chain connected to the light above the table.

You need wire lock, not washers, but the little rectangle things. Put the right number of beads on each wire, slide the ends of the wire through
a chain link that is the proper height above the table light. Slide the little lock rectangle things from the ends and slide them up tight to the chain, and that is all there is too it. Make sure the 2nd wire (highest one) has enough space between the lower one so when people mark them up when playing that one doesn't interfere with the other. (6-7 link difference).

If doing more than 1 table, make sure the scoring beads are at the same height, or close to it, on every table.
