New Redesigned Valley Pool Tables Just off the trucks

[Mike in MN]

I played a few racks on these and I have two things to say

1. Fix the balls spitting out of the pockets. Balls go down and come back up way too often.

2. Remove all metal from the inside of the pockets. The balls have huge dings in them from the allen bolts next to the pocket facings. Looks like a ring worm was sucking on them.


I'd recommend staying with the ZD8\Great 8 model until they get these two items fixed. Hopefully they get the bugs worked out before they start shipping these out to the public.

My Dad has an older Valley that has almost spit back a couple of balls at me. If I hit a ball with really hard draw, and it's near the pocket, it will roll around in there like it wants to come out. It's funny that the new tables just spit them right out.

Don't they have someone that knows how to play and knows what to look for in a table before they ship these out to tournaments and the public? Any metal where you slide your cue sucks as far as i'm concerned. Balls spitting out probably could be fixed by any good table mechanic. But if the metal has to be there why not make something to go over it...like padding. How much could that cost? I'll keep my old Valley ty. Johnnyt

I see they are now selling the new valleys. Has anyone played on them or have any feedback on the redesign?. The Valley website states the rail were also redesigned to take away the dead zones. I did not see where they offered a home version yet though.
