First post in this forum.
So I bought a pool table, it's in my garage in pieces right now. After reading this forum all day Ive found alot of usefull information and almost became delusional enough to think that I might be able to put this thing together myself to save much needed cash. But, Im thinking better of it.
So I have a couple questions, I know absolutely nothing about rails. While I have the table in pieces I think this is the best time to replace the rails. What kind of rails should I be looking into?
After all Ive read it seems I should be looking into simonis 860 felt. (I primarily play 9-10 ball.) sound about right?
I want the table to play pretty tight, what size pockets should I be looking at?
I live in Tampa, FL. Money is very tight as I just bought a house to go around this table, lol. Do any of you live in Florida or will any of you be coming down to Florida any time soon? If so...
I'd like a quote on what it would cost me to have someone set up & level my table, install new cloth & rails and shim the pockets. The table is a furniture style table with drop pockets. 3 piece slate. 1 inch thick. playing surface rail to rail is 110 x 55 inches. (9 footer).
any advice on how to get the work done right at the best possible price & quotes on what it will or should cost me (PM me please) are appreciated.
Thanks
