Pool table conversion to carom table ! Universal Rail & Syn-Surf Kit Currently being tested ! danbennicas@mail.com
I designed and built this in my design studio ! Only works with Syn-Surf ! NEW INVENTION SOON TO PATENT !
For those of us who are old and have bad memories could you remind us about Syn-Surf?
Also, any ballpark on the cost of the conversion and the degree of difficulty on the installation? Is it easily reversible? In the place I live now there's a clubhouse with 4 pool tables, only 2 of which ever seem to be used. I'd love to try to talk them into converting one of them like this. Heck, depending on the cost I might even be willing to pay for it myself. Because it sucks to be an hour away from the nearest 3C table.
Syn-Surf is a laminated synthetic semi-rigid billiard surface being developed. There have been manufacturing issues with foreign companies. The base material was once manufactured in the U.S.A. but no more so I am currently working with new companies with some success. The design in the photo is a prototype being tested and a price has not been established at this time. If you want to see Syn-surf and the rail inserts being played on you will have to join the USAIBC group . We have playing sessions 4 times a week. Call me or professor Q-ball for information ! 843-681-4193
Knock em down, DB.
We know you've worked hard and long at this.

I just saw this. Good work.
An idea to make the inverse of this... I plan on buying a 10' carom table in the near future, and for guests whom want to play "pool", I could create a 9' frame with pockets and a rubber trap. They wouldn't be good enough at either carom or pool to understand the difference between cloth speeds anyway.
Other idea was to place pins in the four corners of a 10' carom table and have players pretend those were the pockets, needing to knock them down with the red ball. First to knock down all four pins in one turn wins the rack.
Or just teach them three cushion, which most people always end up liking.

The last option is the best!
