I am looking to purchase a billiards table for my home and have been comparing a lower-cost Olhausen table to a higher-quality Diamond Pro. I have read with interest the past discussion about the "Olhausen Rattle", but I haven't seen too much written about it lately. I asked my local Olhausen dealer about this, and he called Olhausen. This is what he says:
The angle of the cuts, on the rubber, was re-designed and the problem was resolved.
All OLHAUSEN tables are made to BCA (Billiard Congress of America) equipment specifications. As per the 2008 BCA Rule Book the...
Corner Pockets'
Openings from 4 7/8th" to 5 1/8th" - Angle of cut 141 to 143 degrees
Side Pockets'
Openings from 5 3/8th" to 5 5/8ths" - Angle of cut 101 to 105 degrees
OLHAUSEN can add one extra facing to the rubber, making the pocket opening smaller; but it has to be done when the table is ordered and there is a $40.00 upcharge.
Just curious if anyone has bought a new Olhausen table in the last year or two and if, in fact, the "rattle" issue has been resolved.
thanks.
