For those like myself who play amateur league and have always wondered how they actually assemble the tables, this video was awesome! Thank you for showing us this! That's one sweet-looking table!
Great video! Hope you’re enjoying the new table. He did a great job! Even wrapped a piece of card paper or rubber to cover the staples in the pockets. Always the sign of a knowledgeable installer. (Exposed staples leave scratches/ nicks in the pool balls when pocketed. Making a cover for them is a good way to protect your investment 😊. For those who didn’t already know). Have a great day everyone!
Table looks super solid. Nice. I cashed in 5 out of 10 tournaments this year. Most recent one 4th place knocked out in semi finals. Won 1st/2nd place a couple times and a 3rd place finish. Your videos, Dr Dave and Tor Lowry videos have helped me. Tor actualy came to my house in NJ in July of 2014 and I was picked to be trained and he helped pay it forward so I can take my game to the next level. I am not a pro yet. Almost B level range.
Great job ! A little advice if I may: never mix the putty on the board (this is what spatulas or any piece of material to throw are for). To apply the layers of putty, it is better to do it with the spatula almost vertically and in several passes than to give it a thick pass and sand hard. Let's not forget that slate is diamond ground, it is a soft material and sanding quickly causes imperfections even when using very long sanding blocks. Putty has a different density than slate, normally less density and hardness, and if it is applied in a thin layer, light sanding does not affect the slate at all. In the same way a poorly sanded layer of putty can increase the thickness in the slightest so I see no reason to mix the putty over the slate in an area without need.
First of all I would probably being willing to lose a testicle to have my own table - but that could lead to a divorce because I am a practice freak, and would never get off the table. I am sure my wife would not be totally happy. Second, great video all around but what impressed me the most was the installer handling the slate all by himself. That was pretty impressive to me. And finally, I had never even heard of a Pro Star until watching this channel and now I am very interested in buying one.
Ahhh hahahaha that's funny stuff James!!! Glad you like the video. Was fun to be able to share it with you guys 🤩 If you're interested in a ProStar table, please send me a PM on social media thanks. If you like this kind of videos, you might also like "The Making of My Flames cue" which shows you how my cue is made. It's pretty cool! 🔥🔥 You can check it out right here: ruclips.net/video/eKNG7zjpoJw/видео.html
whooo after this we will see more pool on this table and i like the tight pocket for next tournament practice . bay the way can you make another video on draw shot faults, elbow placement technique so on i can do stun shots well but i can't draw it back so please make on that and make me nice draw stroker. nice work good luck for UK open.
This looks amazing! Thanks for the video. May I ask how did you tightened the pockets to 4.25? Were the rails lengthened or additional rubbers were placed on the rails? Thank you
Glad that you're back! Sorry you didn't make it to the BCA World Championships in Vegas a few months ago - I was hoping to track you down and say 'hello.' At least I got to spend some time bugging/chatting with Mickey Krause 😃 - great guy.
I also have a room 4.4m wide and I was wondering if it is a show stopper of putting in a pool table because in worst case scenario you have only 7-8cm for cueing. Sharing this info was very helpful, thank you. If Neils Feijen trains in this space, for sure will work for me.
Awesome video. I am really interested in these tables. I live on the West Coast in the U.S. Are they table available in North America (U.S.). How do I get one? thanks Niels. I love your channel. You've helped me improve my game by leaps and bounds.
Great performance at Masters Niels! The last rack wasn't racked well by the referee and that caused a poor break, the balls didn't open as they normally would.
Do you have any suggestion about how to test the variation of different table conditions when you are in tournament?? Maybe some stroke test or rail bouncing test??
That “spirit level” is actually referred to as a “machinist’s level” here in the States. Typically, the graduations are 0.001” each across 8” to 12”. Essential for leveling a pool table. That Prostar table assembles very much like my Rasson. 3 piece slate, bucket pockets, and adjustable base.
I just wonder if it would have been good to "wash" the plates after sanding and let it dry? Instead of "only" vacuum clean it? We will get new tables too soon here. Would be nice to know if "washing" with a BIT wet towel would be better or not.
I click so fast… I was wondering if you were ever gonna post again 😂🎉.Proud of you in the world masters…. Great victory over Joshua
Congratulations on the World Masters! You played strong and had everyone of your students/viewers rooting for you! Awesome stuff. Keep it up Niels.
Thank you Steven!! Appreciate it!! 😃🙏

Aha! Nice little insight info 😃💪
Great to see you back. You've been on fire the last few months. We all missed ya.

Kind of wanted to see the process for felting the rails, but overall still awesome to watch. Kudos for him just about doing it solo
Getting a Rasson installed tomorrow! Good Masters Neils, way to battle
Im from vietnam, this’s a good video bro

As so many have said, great job at the Masters. You played great! Was pulling for you.
Thanks Michael! Appreciate it sir 🙏😃

Love the look of that table. Reminds me of a Gold Crown. Unlike most, I'm not a predator fan (banks short and deep pocket shelf)
Good job Nelis

Hi Michael! Please send me a pm on instagram of fb. There is a westcoast dealer. All the best!!
Mooi tafel man!groetjes from an arubian fan🇦🇼👏🏼
Great performance at Masters Niels! The last rack wasn't racked well by the referee and that caused a poor break, the balls didn't open as they normally would.
Thanks!! Yeah it was a tough one...I got a warning for soft breaking on 8-10 so had to change and take more risk....
Do you have any suggestion about how to test the variation of different table conditions when you are in tournament?? Maybe some stroke test or rail bouncing test??
Niels we need more videos do some break shot videos ❤
Congratulations

羨慕~漂亮的桌子
How long did the installation take from start to finish?
How big is the room you play in?
A Prostar table looks to be identical to a Brunswick Gold Crown.
Gold Crown is a better table.
Sharivari too.
Wow!
What size is it?
9ft 😀👍🏼
Awesome work........!!!!! :-)
how much did you pay for the whole job realignment of the table if you don't mind.
I have a 1966 Fischer mark 8 table with a single marble slate
is it oversized slate ? A lot of those are not the kind where the rail bolts go though the slate .
can i have your old table :)
It's still for sale 💪😃
F@*k me. Just got to the end of the video and can't believe Niels never showed us a break or a rack. What a dirty dirty tease!
Hahaha plenty of other videos on the channel show me shooting shots 😂
Nice video , Really really nice job. Could you tell me how much weight one plate of granite please?
