And don't forget racking the Predator balls with a Predator rack...
Different types of financing buddy, I just happen to know which one fits the pool table industry.
This tells me nothing.
You're right, but do you have a reason to need to know?
You can stick a pool cue through the rack storage opening on either end of the table and easily push out the obstruction - most likely a piece or pieces of chalk.
Waiting for the Predator World 14.1 Open.
Know what. You wanna be a gatekeeper for what? The secret underground world of pool table financing?
Congratulations on being the inside guy for the Slate Mafia Cabal.
Typical pool cloth rolling friction has the equivalent up-hill slope of 1 in 100 (1% slope). Good carom cloth has an equivalent slope of 1 in 200 (0.5%). This is very easy to measure from videos.
Dumb question?Buy an extra set of rails, you'll be needing them later when the sub rails at the ends get torn up with staples!!
One of the worst designed rails I've ever come across, Gabriel's ain't much better!!!
Mounting hardware is cheap too, threads won't hold up with the bolts being put in and taken out everytime the rails get recovered.
But hey, as long as the table looks good, right
And resale value
Why are there only metal and wood frames to staple into or bolt into?
Seems like Dymond wood frames would be a better solution
. Anyone ever make one like that? Even if you used strips of dymond wood epoxed on.
Might be too hard and difficult to staple into?

Why use staples at all?
Could use a scroll
method. Crank cloth tightly and lock it.A couple slits on the corner and can scroll
north south and east/ west.... Food for thought
Pocket curves would be only section with staples.

Now there you go getting all butt hurt because I won't answer your questions about financing Diamond pool tables, that ok, because when it comes right down to it, you're just butt hurt because you're not getting your way, oh well, grow up, not everything involves you!!
Cost and functionality.Dumb question?

Stapling the cloth to the rails isn't the problem. The problems start when the rails are made out of plywood, (Predator) or have an inch of subrail hanging out past the ends of the rails in which the cloth has to be tucked behind in order to bolt the pocket castings back in place. That design is a disaster to repair later on, and there's only a few of us in the field that would even know how to make the repairs, only to have the damage happen again, over and over.Why use staples at all?

butthurt? I don’t care one bit about financing. I get your lore. You’ve somehow, despite the lunacy, created a following rooted in your ego. That must persist even with rudimentary questions.
There’s absolutely a market for you to charge 1.2 million to set up a table so perfectly that only a fart can squeeze by your tolerances.
It’s art right? You’re art.
Or it’s just a table and some play differently than others.
Only a sphincter can tell.
