Thank you Abe & Slug Doctor

[SpiderWebComm]

I just received my trial Slug Doctor sheets. I used two laser levels to make sure I had it aligned perfectly-- and set the sheet. It took me about 10 secs to apply them to my table.

I have to admit--- they work amazingly well. Perfect rack every time -- no gaps. It seems the balls "lean" against each other and it's cake to rack by hand.

I'm curious how this affects playing 14.1, since that's my main game. There's no doubt that full-speed break games such as 9ball, 10 ball and 8ball are perfect for this racking system. I worry that if I graze into the rack playing 14.1, they won't spread.

Nevertheless, Slug Doctor works perfectly for what it's intended. I'm really impressed.

Abe, you have a great product and I'm sure you're going to get a lot of new repeat clients from your generous trial offer. Thanks again-

Dave

Nick just ran over a hundred with it on my table while filming the DVD's and he had no problems with it.
I have had it a little while and only seen one ball move a little and it was almost stopped when it wobbled slightly.

Dave-- Thank you for trying it out and for the write-up too. Btw, it's Slug-Doctor.

Take care,

Thanks again for the hook-up! I love it!

The perforations are so thin and that results in two good things. Firstly, there is very little, if any, roll off from a ball hitting one of them at low speed. I wouldn't never say never, but honestly I experience roll off from chalk nuggets or debris way more. We just held a double elimination, 10 player event at my house using the SD and there was not one instance of a bad roll off one of the perfs - not one - in 10 hours of play. The other thing is that because of the thinness the balls don't lean into each other that much, just enough to ensure they are touching. To me this results in a more "natural" break. And when playing those low speed, grazing break out shots in 14.1 that you were referring to, the balls seem to spread very naturally because they are all kissing but not leaning into each other with much pressure. So they break free from the "lean" easily on those softly hit shots.

This system is perfect for room owners or promoters holding tournaments. Just like the Magic Rack the system speeds up play and eliminates problems with slug racks, but the nice thing is only one system needs to be purchased and the user can set up as many tables as they want with the one system. The only replacement part are the perfs, and those are both dirt cheap and available at any office supply store. Plus, because only the perforations and not the system itself is at each table, they won't have the tendency to grow legs and walk out the door. Additionally, the SD eliminates manipulating a rack by mis-aligning it. Once the rack is laid down, every single rack will be identical in terms of being both tight and properly aligned.

I played with it again today and I love it even more. I'm really impressed. I have a hunch Abe is about to find a ton of new clients.

Dogs- You really bring up a lot of good stuff here. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the words of encouragement Dave. I appreciate it. Question... so how have you liked it for 14.1? Have you come across any major issues, i.e. roll-off, nudging stacks, etc...? Any add'l feedback would be great.

Here's my feedback:

It's perfect for 14.1. ESPECIALLY for the initial break. You get perfect reaction off the corner balls.

For SLIGHT SLIGHT grazes off the rack, the rack reacts as though there's humidity in the room, because the balls are leaning on each other. This isn't a problem because quite frankly, it's rare you're playing in perfect conditions anyway wherever you go.

When you come into the side of the rack for a safety, the rack pops open on the other side and balls spread.

There are no roll-offs or anything that would adversely affect the rack.

I'm astounded at how perfect each rack is. Every ball touches and racking doesn't take long at all.

You have a super super product.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the 14.1 feedback. To be honest, I haven't received too much feedback from users who also play 14.1. So thanks a bunch!
Anyone with 1P feedback?

Hi Abe!
I installed slug-doctor on my table yesterday and I am really happy with the product. I tried 8ball and 14-1 breaks and I was really happy about the reaction of the balls. From my observation slug-doctor is less than half of the thickness of magic rack so when a ball rolls over it there is virtually no roll-off even on very slow speeds (and I tried it several times to roll a ball over it ). Truth to be told magic rack is quite faster to rack the balls than slug-doctor as it takes a little more time to settle balls on slug-doctor due to smaller thickness. BUT you dont have to take the sheet from the table after the break every single time as you do with magic rack, you just break (and run if you are good ). Also I somehow liked the look of slug-doctor on my table, those transparent stickers just look good! :thumbup:

This is a great idea and the setup is very easy and fast and you don't have to place and remove it every rack like the magic rack. Thanks again Abe--Leonard

 

[King Hester]

Abe, I can't wait to install it on my table. I ordered some new felt and hopfully give you some feedback shortly. I really appreciate you sending it and I'm glad its working out so well for the other AZer's. Thanks.

 

[Underclocked]

Yes, thanks twice Abe! I installed the last sheet correctly at a place I play fairly often. It was generally well received by the players, but I don't know if you could squeeze a dime out of any of them. :smile:

The nice thing about the SD is that you can do tables over and over, so if the room owner buys one all nits can use it for free. :grin:

Just last night me and tucson9ball, another member here set the system up on his 9ft. Diamond. First we broke some 9ball racks and the balls racked up perfectly. The break became very predictable in a short time. Next was 10ball and the results were the same, a nice tight rack and a predictable break. We rolled balls over the perforations very slow and none appeared to roll off.

We decided to play some one pocket and the balls again racked perfect. Later in the game we had to spot several balls after scratches or intentional fouls, and only once did we have a problem with placing a ball after a foul. It sat on the side of a perforation and wanted to roll back. Over all, I think it is a great system and it sure takes any of the problems away from racking any of the games, and as someone has already said, nobody will walk a way with it. I know more than several have been taken from the local poolroom. Great product! Thanks for allowing me to be involved in your review process.

My experience has been identical. There have been times while playing 14.1 where I tried to take an intentional by tapping the CB into muck and had it roll off the muck onto a perforation. The stack was barely outside of the edge of a perforation. When you tapped the CB to the stack, it just settled back into the hole.

However, this happened so infrequently during actual play it never affected the outcome of the game. The way I see it, we're each playing under the same conditions. Having the balls ROCK SOLID far out-weighed infrequent minor "settling" issues.

I honestly think this is the first time I've broken 14.1 with a truly rock-solid rack. You get perfect action off the break.

Spidey-- Do you think thinner (smaller outside diameter) perfs would minimize this occurence? This may be worthwhile looking into for me. I don't know.

Abe,

I was home for vacation last week and was able to install my slug doctor on my home table. I regret to say that I only got to play 4 or 5 racks with it but I was VERY impressed with the rack.

I must have shot for a half an hour rolling to cue ball over the perfs to try and cause the problem that Spider was describing in her post. I was only able to get this to happen a couple of times out of the 50 or so shots I took. I am thinking that a smaller outside diameter might help with this but it didn't really happen enough to be a problem. I will post again when I can put some more time in with the slug doctor.

Thanks again for the free trial. Also if I was to purchase the real thing are the perfs clear? I am hoping to get some new felt this winter and I would much rather clear outlines than the white ones.

Thanks,

Sarnia Shorty (Marty)

I wouldn't change a thing. It happens so infrequently and when it does, it doesn't effect the outcome of the game. I think if you go any thinner, you won't get the same "lean" on the balls that you currently get. I don't think it's possible to get the best of both worlds--- nice "lean" and no "settle" if a CB is sitting on the edge of a perf.

Abe - your product is the nuts and that's that.
