Why No Rubber Feet On Instroke ??

[New Kid In The Hall]

The choice to go with the rubber feet on the new Talisman cases is a real plus I think. I have had my instroke cases (I own three) all fall off a prop up at some time or another because the hard plastic feet just don't grab unless they are on carpet.

Any thought to moving to rubber feet on the Instroke cases? Thanks John.

My Giuseppe has metal rivet-looking feet. While durable they would be slippery. But I usually store the case under the table I am playing on. No one can walk off with it, and it wont fall over, it is already on it's side!

Yeah, I looked at rubber feet a while back, before Talisman as a matter of fact and with all the other crap going on I just never implemented it. That is one thing that Talisman has done better than Instroke. IF the feet stay on that is. I got a Talisman in my hands a month ago and the ruber feet pulled away from the bottom with ease.

Anyone can modify their Instroke for a few dollars and a trip to Home Depot. I even put the bumpers of house cues on one case for a guy in a wheelchair. It takes five minutes.

I will make the request to the factory to start using rubber feet. One thing we had considered was a custom rubber bumper, like a big pad.

I hope they move to do it soon.

PS. If you wanted to be really fancy and really protective then you could get some of the spray on rubber grip stuff that they sell for tool handles. Just spray that on the bottom and rubberize the whole thing.

That would work great I bet, the spray on rubber.

John,

Thanks for the tips. I'm not a tool kind of guy. The only things I purchase that say "some assembly required" are my pool cues and I can typically figure out how the two ends go together...LOL.

How could I replace the plastic feet with rubber ones? Are they screwed in? I haven't looked.

I shoot pool while someone else finishes my basement and mows my grass!

[DZ314]

Must be nice! But that is cool if you are able to arrange for more pool playing time like that. If I could that is what I would be doing as well since I love the game so damn much!

[audiopro]

We are a bunch of fanaticas. I shoot pool at lunch every day, then a couple hours at home almost every night. Then there are league nights.. Geeze, I can't get enough...

[DZ314]

Dude, I think we were cut from the same cloth. We seem to have a lot in common! 8)

Simonis 860 standard green baby!! lol. :D

[DZ314]

Ahaha, that is the stuff!!!! 8)

Let's see, we both like: pool, guns, audio, martial arts, Florida (you live there and I love to vacation there), computers/networking. We are also the same age. :D

I feel like I am 72 years old though.. Ugh... sigh..........

[dags_lax]

Audio: From your avatar it looks like you are getting a little thin on top. Are you sure you are not 72 years old?

[audiopro]

HEY NOW!!! I'm not only the hair club president! But I'm also a client!!

It is going, I have my hair buzzed pretty close in that pic. I have let it grow out a bit more since, but it is inevitable. It is going to go bye bye...

There are worse things to lose though.. :)

[DZ314]

Such is very true! At least we're not old enough that it is time to start looking at viagra or levitra! :o

[dags_lax]

If the hair loss is from rubbing against the headboard than that's ok.

[audiopro]

Such is very true! At least we're not old enough that it is time to start looking at viagra or levitra! :o

Yeah definitely not needing any of that! But with this who would need it?

[dags_lax]

I didn't know the grew them that nice in Florida!

[CJK]

Wow. That's about all I can say about that. Wow. :)

[DZ314]

Lucky guy! :P

[CJK]

Yeah, but does she play pool?

[audiopro]

She does albeit not great, she works at Clicks. The pic is from our Halloween party. http://www.sitepros.net/clicks

FYI, I am Neo. Lame lame lame I know.. But, put had to put something together in a pinch. :)

[DZ314]

Some fun times there from the looks of it! Don't knock Neo, he rules! :lol:

[audiopro]

We have a blast all the time. With the exception of Friday and Saturday nights, the place only has regulars. All very serious players, but most everyone has great attitudes. We rarely have any problems there at all. We have parties for every occasion we can think of. And we are a pretty tight group. Most anyone seen in the pics hangs out with each other outside of Clicks.

It was a great find for me. The unfortunate part is it is about 45 minutes away from where I live. So I spend a lot in gas. I typically shoot there at least 3 times a week. Last night I was there and helped close, did not get out till 3am. So I was dead driving home. Thats the only bad thing. Good thing is, I dont pay for pool, as well as other things at times, and I always have a place to crash if I am too beat.

[audiopro]

And yeah, Neo is king!

[DZ314]

That is awesome, I am lucky that the places I usually play at are no more than a mile or two away. :D

[audiopro]

We have a new place local, they have 4 Olhausen tables. And this place is brand new, and very very nice..

But... I just miss my friends.. waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. :cry:

[DZ314]

Dang man, we got off-topic again. Errrrr...... just try to pry the stock feet off carefully with a flat headed screwdriver or something similar.

[sonnic]

Wow audiopro she is FINE AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[audiopro]

Thanks sonnic! ;)

[Tanar]

Yes, I would have to say you are a lucky, lucky man. Hair or no hair. :D

[StB]

Yeah, if anyone gives you crap about your AVATAR picture just change it to that, I'm sure no one would mind.

[audiopro]

ha ha, good plan!
