Rail Dimensions For Carom Balls?

[mnorwood]

I have been thinking about making carom plugs for my 8 foot olhausen. In other words I want pocket stops to play the carom game on my pool table. The other day I realized that carom balls are bigger than american pool balls, which spurs this question. Is the apex of a carom table rail higher than that of a pool table? If so, would angles of deflection on a pool table with carom balls be different from that of a carom table?

Don't hate me if I respond to this thread on my own until a mechanic or other knowledgeble poster can read this.

Yes your angles will definately be different. I think I'd just use pool balls in your case. Buy a different cue ball than what you have and use one of your solids.
