Thanks for telling me how to get into the cap container! Now I’ll be able to take all of the caps from the container in the Zebs shop in New Hampshire
My room space is about 320 cm width and 475cm length. Can my room fit a 6ft table?
That software could easily be upgraded to involve explaining the rules of games, rare and novelty games such as 8-ball, 9-ball, billiards, billiard golf, etc. It could even help with coaching, analysing tactics and making suggestions for shots etc.
Absolutely. There are huge opportunities for this technology. It's just a matter of the time it takes to program everything. Big things are on their way!
my local Putt-Putt had a big selection of pinball decks back in the 90s, including this one! My favorite part is, when you lost the ball (I think down the sides, but might've been down center too) Data would say, "Had you hit the ball at the proper trajectory, you would have been rewarded." And if you hit the flippers while he was saying that, Picard would say "THANK YOU, MR DATA" and you'd get 100k or 10k point bonus lol your machine looks immaculate! hope it still is, 9 years later
After what?! AFTER WHAT?!
How much does one cost with installation? They look very nice
The table in this video is a Supreme Winner - You can get a basic free-play version of it installed for about £1,900, then going up from there depending if you want any extras like premium finishes or cloths etc :)
Russians play with even bigger balls and same size pockets... Crazy bastards.
Nice to see Japan version had joystick
Yes, I always preferred the joystick version. All the left and right on buttons get tiring!
Your criticism leans towards the Supreme Winner tables due to the fixing, level adjustments and cushion rails and non flush pockets. There is nothing wrong with them, and they have proven themselves as a preferred choice in the European and World Championship Tournaments. and half the price!
See the rasson and must say it didn’t look great. Love the idea of all the features but the table does not look good at all up close
@@dannymoore8157 I love my Supreme Winner, could not be happier, although I added some toggle latches on the hinge side to get rid of the hollow bounce sound. I'm surprised that Supreme have not done this yet, as it is easy to do, and it is the only weakness to the table (Not all of them have this issue, it is hit and miss
When specifying the Apollo we took feedback from our team, installers, customers, pool players and Ultimate. There were a number of areas that could and should be improved, which is what we did. The Supreme Winner is an excellent table, we have sold thousands of them. But if a player would like something better then the Apollo provides this.
Many people love the look of the Apollo, others not so much. It does seem to split opinion. If you want the features but a different look then the Rasson Vanquish provides this, you can see it here: www.homeleisuredirect.com/pool_tables/rasson-pool-tables/rasson-vanquish-pool-table.html
@@HomeLeisureDirect I can't comment if they are good or not, I have not seen one or played on one, but I the look is not for me. For me it is more important that it plays well, than what it looks like. I've been playing for 40 years, and I've seen some stunning looking tables that just do not play well.
Ordered this walnut table with black cloth absolutely dying waiting for it please hurry( 43 year old Man child)
May I know what are the pool table and room sizes?
The pool table is a Signature Chester in black. Unfortunately we can't recall the size of the room, but they were able to play with full length cues without any real issues. :)
just take some shrooms, turn on a blacklight, play pool and save a bundle
nice video , i follow Japanese player that does content like this , oh and i like see people player killer pool , i watch Thai Girls play killer Pool and if i remember Max Eberle mention long time ago why don't more people try killer pool
Yep, Killer is a great game for a group of casual players. It'll be the "killer" game for the system! Hoping to be released in Q4 this year.
When you said £995 plus vat, i thought, that's reasonable! You missed out the last 9. 🥲
another great presentation. Looks pretty awesome. Could be used to show angles to hit as a training mode on a snooker table. (copyright me!)
Glad you like it! We think it's pretty awesome too. We are currently working on several games, one of which is along the lines you suggest - it combines a type of practice mode along with challenging shots. We'll continually update everyone as progress is made and new features released.
@@HomeLeisureDirect you could make a feature where you recreate shots. you could project lines that show how the ball is supposed to move and a line that shows how the ball actually moved, so you could compare it. it could be used for practice as well as a fun feature (possibly with famous shots that actually happened).
no proper pool player would play this. just for rich houses and a subscription 200 a month is outrageous!
I agree it's too expensive for home customers. It's aimed at commercial venues for casual players for a bit of fun, rather than serious players.
My picks wont move
I thought you were going to beat your own score. Let me guess, you died. GAME OVER.
I have a question, and I apologize in advance if it sounds silly. What was the first year that a Jukebox was created that could play 12-inch, 33rpm, full albums?
We've searched and searched, and the answer looks to be... 2018! The Sound Leisure Long Player looks to be the first one to do it.
@@HomeLeisureDirect Many thanks and much appreciation!
Just bought one waiting on delivery hope it's a good as it sounds cannot wait
Im so tempted but the disclaimer that some games might not run well puts me off especially with the high price tag
With running games on emulators not all games play perfectly. I actually own this system myself, I was so impressed with it. I've played about 50 of the games so far and found them all to play really well, just as I remember them from the arcades.
@HomeLeisureDirect nice I'm looking at the stand up version and mainly interested in the sega racing games outrun daytona ect and chase hq if they run perfect then I'll be happy with it
@@gwcks All the Sega games I've tried play perfectly - Outrun, Outrun 2, Daytona, Sega Rally, Crazy Taxi (running on a Dreamcast emulator - but plays brilliantly well.) Virtua Racing is great - silky smooth gameplay, one of my favourites. I never used to play Chase HQ in the arcades, so can't verify if that is a match, but seems good to me! Let me know if you have any other qs. Thx.
Hello, I just want to ask one question. I'm playing with an American-style pool cue on a UK table with UK balls. I find it way more accurate when I'm aiming. Now, it's not so accurate if I want to do back side spin, but if I just want to do back spin, it's okay for that. Now, I was playing on a UK cue, and what I found is I was missing lots of shots. Would this have any effect on my aiming, playing with an American-style cue and playing with a UK cue with a smaller tip? Would this have any impact with my aiming? Would I have to adjust my aiming when I'm playing with a smaller tip size?
I've been playing on this for 2 months at local pool hall with 2 inch English pool balls. Everyone said it's a hard table just looked it up today makes sense some days I was struggling other doing well. Varied
That sit down unit price comes out to $6000 Canadian Dollars... I built my kids racing setup for under $1000 CAD, ooof. Also you're including games preinstalled with the system? Seems sketchy.
Sounds like you did a great job building your own system for that price! Yes, we include the emulators and games free of charge with our system. It's ready to play out of the box.
Wouldn't it have been easier, production wise, to have the same larger screen cabinet and just have the seat section as an add-on?
The cabinet design between the two versions actually is more different than it first appears. The pedals on the sit-down version of the Racer actually had to be raised off the ground quite a bit compared to the Upright, simply to accommodate the adjustable seat. Another issue is overall size. The Racer Sit-Down is delivered in 2 separate parts which have to be attached together, and we had originally prototyped it with the larger 32" screen. The problem though was doors - The larger cabinet needed to accommodate the bigger screen made it too big for a lot of standard doorways, so we shrunk the screen down slightly to compensate. The upright thankfully didn't suffer from this problem, so we were able to keep the bigger screen on that one. :)
I will be in heaven if this has Chase HQ and Chase HQ 2 ❤
Chase HQ 1 is definitely present and accounted for. ;)
Never had the makings of a varsity pinball player
Excellent work uploading all videos you are amazing!
We do our best!
@@HomeLeisureDirect yes you do your best and if you could!
1:10 many American tables (typically pay tables in bars) also have a slight size difference between the cue and object balls for the same reason, so that the cue ball can be returned when potted. Or sometimes the cue ball might actually contain a magnet instead, so that it can be rerouted when potted on a pay table.
how to order.. from Philippines
cool tables all look too modern with zero character. where is the nice old hardwood pub style ones.
The classic finishes aren't dead. Far from it. The Winner especially has a huge selection of finishes, including a number of woodgrain finishes. Give the Tournament Pro a look too - A really nice Walnut finish is available on that one.
I love this channel. ❤️
I am shocked by the two shots after a foul rule! I had no idea! It seems appropriate for amateurs in a pub, not high level players. Getting two shots is huge, and a skilled player should be favored to win the rack in that case. I wonder if it originally came from casual play designed to help amateurs? That's how the APA league rules work, to help unskilled players. Of course, if two skilled players are in the match, it goes both ways and maybe evens out (if not in the same rack, than over a match where multiple racks are required to win).
Hi, I assume there's not a delivery service to Ireland?
Unfortunately not at this time. :(
That machine is a good earner
"This game can earn!"
YER SUPPOSED TA BE EARNERS
I remember playing a sit down one in Hamilton NZ on Victoria St ahhh memories
Ordered mine today. Looking forward to it
Great stuff! We can't wait for them to come in.
American and English mechanical bridge is also different. English pool uses the same cross-shaped bridge as used in snooker
amazing, I need this.
One of these was located at a local arcade in town called Aladdin's Castle back in the 80s. I can't even begin to count the number of quarters I popped into that beauty. Easily a top five arcade game for me.
Somehow it's missing a soundalike for Tony Green. It has a soundalike for Jim Bowen but instead they opted out and used Richard Ashdown to do the lines what usually go to Tony Green. Still, you can't beat a bit of Bully.
How hard is it to get jukebox parts, or mechanic if needed?
For the new models, not really an issue, as the parts for those are still being made and are readily available. As for the vintage ones, people who can repair the vintage models are about and they can source the parts, but they are naturally quite in demand.
Hi, Im going to open pool and cafe which is gonna be heavy traffic. Which flooring is the best for my condition? Laminated 1cm or carpet?
Hey there. Ultimately, it's up to you really. Neither has a distinct advantage or disadvantage over the other.
😊 nice one ☝️
How much is one
Very nicccce
Could do with some rubber edging on that triangle holder, instead of that bare metal edge.
It's a really good point Richard. We have asked them to look at this for us. Thanks.
Hola cual es mas ruidoso de los dos?
Can’t wait to get my black edition version, stunning in the flesh.
What if i call a bank double kiss, off 2 rails, touch the the 6 and 7 But I actually skim the 7 then 6 and it happens so fast that everyone argues?
