Rail height

[jjacobson]

Wondering if anyone had THE correct rail 'nose' height? I heard that it is 70% of the ball diameter. In this case 61.5mm. Would a higher nose cause the table to play shorter? I would think so.


And how low can you go without risking the balls flying off of the table?



Thanks for any input!! JJ

I think it's more like 63%, or 37.75 mm for a carom table. Would like to have a table mechanic weigh in on this, and on your other two questions.

The UMB Rules say 37mm +- 1mm

Can't remember if its angle or height that changes the length. Something tells me that every degree of angle = 1/2 diamond in length.
I think it went for every degree increase in angle = 1/2 diamond length longer.

Give George or Yura a call.
