(More customer reviews)I got jealous of a
family member who got a pool table for X-Mas, because I had nowhere
for a regular, dedicated pool table.Then I saw that companies made
pool / dining tables... GENIUS!The dining room is used mostly to
eat ... otherwise useless space.Why didn't I think of that?!
Now that I'd usurp the dining room with such a table, I'd have to
convince the MRS.So I didn't want a pool table that LOOKED like a
pool table with a top just laid over it - cheesy.I wanted one that
looked like a dining table so that no one would know until I took
the top off.Stealth is COOL!
Fast and furious internet searches showed some really nice ones
from Europe - ones that cleverly hid the billiard fantasy
underneath gorgeous table tops.But the prices were not right
(several thousands of dollars and then shipping), and it would be
hard to rectify any problems from across the pond.It was also hard
to come by reliable, good reviews for American companies.It seemed
like a big gamble for such a pricey item.In addition, the really
good ones have slate beds, and I wasn't sure I wanted to put that
much weight in one spot on a wooden floor.
Then I saw this DLT Monterey at a competitor's site (C*STC*) and
also at this site.The thing looked beautiful in the pictures.It was
not made of heavy slate (hey, I'm NO Minnesota Fats, so MDF is good
enough for me).It was cheaper than others, and the competitor had a
better price by 800 bucks.It was also a 7'x 4' (total dimensions)
table which fit pretty well in my dining room (I just got some
shorter cue sticks for the tighter shots).Very importantly, it
could be returned if it was garbage.
However, I was hesitant to buy since not many people had reviewed
it.There were 2 pretty good and seemingly honest reviews at
C*stc*.But that was it. This site had no reviews at all.So I
agonized over it for weeks.It was the ONLY table that fit my bill,
so I took a chance and am very happy I did.
The packaging protected the table very well.It seemed that the
shipping company had damaged one corner of the box, but the table
inside was still protected and pristine.
It is a VERY handsome piece of furniture.Yeah, it's MDF and
laminate, but they do one HECK of a job on the mahogany finish (and
I found a nice mahogany cue stand to match).The legs are
beautifully carved and the sheen of the table top is gorgeous.It
does not LOOK like a pool table.I invited my family over and they
asked where the pool table was... while they were standing beside
it.
A poker playing friend of mine saw the poker top and said it was
nicer than any in-home poker table he had ever played at.
Anyway, there were a few downsides too, which prompts only 4
stars.
First, the top is suspended on around twenty something little clear
rubber cups that hold the table about 1/2 inches above the pool
rails (this protects the rails and leather pockets).It is annoying
to take these off and put them back on as part of the table
transformation.Plus, it raises the table top height a little higher
than what people are used to when they eat (about 1 and 1/2 inches
above the dining table we replaced - noticeable but not
uncomfortable). For the price though, this doesn't bother me that
much because ... I GOT A POOL TABLE IN MY DINING ROOOOOOMMM!!!!
Secondly the table top is VERY heavy.It needs 2 people to lift.Then
it is so big, where does one put it?!My wife couldn't lift it with
me, and I wanted to be able to do it by myself.I brought my
carpenter dad and my bro over one day and cut it into 3 pieces (my
brother almost fainted as we cut the gorgeous one piece top).It is
tricky, because it is made of laminated MDF and it has to be scored
correctly so the circular saw does not kick out pieces of jagged
laminate.Our result wasn't factory perfect, but came out pretty
darned good.A little stain and wood filler and eurathane and
voila!My pop rigged a little system of aluminum pieces so the 3
parts could connect and hold each other up against gravity.And now
I can remove the 3 pieces by myself and play any time.(The company
would sell a bunch of these if they made the top out of 3 pieces to
begin with!)
I am actually upset that both of these sites stopped selling it
before I could write my review.Maybe my review would have generated
more interest in this product or at least prompted the company to
create a table with a 3 piece top.All I can say is I'm glad I
bought it when I did, or else I would have had nothing.I like this
table!

(More customer reviews)Expedited delivery
got the product to me in 3 days, which I appreciated.
I use them at night to relieve and prevent pain from cubital tunnel
syndrome in both arms. The elbow splints are very comfortable,
especially compared to the neoprene sleeves I was using before. The
cushy cotton is a huge improvement on the neoprene. Adjusting them
to fit takes a few minutes, but then they just slip on and off
easily while remaining snug enough to provide support and stay on
through the night.
Last night was the first time I've slept through the night in a
long while without having arm pain wake me. Thanks for carrying
this product and having such a competitive price.

(More customer reviews)I brought one of
these bats, direct from India, half-way through the N.Z cricket
season last year. From the fist time I used it (68) I was
impressed, HUGE EDGES, MASSIVE Sweet spot, great balance (as you
lift the bat higher in your backlift it gets lighter!).
If you go hard at the ball it sails a long way, 2 weeks ago I hit a
popping delivery on the up, on the edge, it sailed three quarters
of the way to the point boundry. (not a good shot, but just to give
you some impression of the power)
This is a top of the line bat, worth every cent. (they retail in
New Zealand for $595.95) When knocking in special attention needs
to be given to the edges and toe, as the bat has so much wood IT
WILL TAKE LONGER TO KNOCK IN, than a normal GM, Grey Nichols or
Kookaburra - If you dont want your bat to crack or break, that
is.
Pro's
The offical power meter for this is 9.5 out of a possible 10.
Great for stroke makers and the tail end slogger, due to the HUGE
sweet spot.
Eccellent pick up and ballance.
Oval handle.
As used by Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh and Brian Lara.
Con's
Needs more knocking in than smaller bats-the longer the better.
Toe guard would be advisable.
Mine came with 2 grips already, two grips are a good idea.
Hope this was helpfull.

(More customer reviews)It is very hard to
find reviews on pitching machines. After hours of research online,
I found maybe a couple of useful sites. For those considering an
investment like this, the other major manufacturer of this type of
machine is ATEC.
First, I'd like to say that I am overall pleased with this product.
As of this writing, this is the top-of-the-line Jugs brand baseball
pitching machine. It throws not only fastballs at various speeds,
but also a variety of breaking balls (i.e. curves & sliders).
It also throws a variety of different kinds of balls; meaning
regular baseballs/t-balls, foam balls, large wiffle balls &
tennis balls (see the Jugs site for details). Finally, it comes
with additional equipment (i.e. shorter legs, different-sized ball
feeder) that allows it to be used for softballs, too.
I take off a little less than one star for the price of the
machine. In fairness, the price range is similar to the competition
(ATEC Casey Pro machine), & I'd guess this is a low-volume
product. That said, it appears to be a pretty uncomplicated piece
of work.
I take off a little more than one star due to the difficulty in
moving this machine. This is a double-edged sword, since it seems
to have a quite durable construction. However, being average in
strength, I find it pretty difficult to move the machine without
risking either dropping it or hurting myself. Unlike for some of
their single-wheel machines, Jugs does not make a transport cart
for this model (which they report is due to its high weight &
top-heavy nature!). For this reason, I've decided to leave it
outside (well-covered) as the lesser of two evil choices; the other
choice being to not use it frequently enough due to its cumbersome
design.
I purchased this from Jugs directly & paid about the same price
as listed here (~ $2500); however, I believe it cost about another
~ $200 to have it shipped. Mercifully, it came mainly
pre-assembled, so all that was required was to attach the legs.
In closing, I would also say that my one interaction with Jugs
customer service went well, with them being polite &
informative.

(More customer reviews)I have had 3 of
these and they have all deflated within a couple of days. They were
like a miracle cure for my Plantar Fasciitis at first. But, just
walking around in them in shoes and sandals...nothing
strenuous...they just lose air and go flat. I have no idea as to
where the leaks occur. I have inspected them, but the problem area
is not obvious. This is really a shame because the idea is 5 stars,
but the execution is 0 stars. Totally unreliable. 3 for 3
deflations within 3 days. The manufacturer should have to recall
these and fix the obvious problem!
UPDATE: I decided to try to find the air leak and did so by
immersing in water and putting pressure on the foot pad. The leaks
were in the same exact point on one of the ankle pads that has the
air hose in it. About 1/2" from the airhose along the seam. So, the
problem would appear to be inadequate sealing of the seam. Now, I
am a large man and weigh around 210 lbs, so weight could be a
factor, since the pressure on the seam would increase with
weight.

(More customer reviews)Great Product!
First of all, in my experience, this sort of knee strap that puts a
little bit of pressure on the patella tendon works very well for
preventing certain types of knee pain and injury.I've used them for
years, running 20-25 miles per week and walking 5-10 more. However,
up until now, I've always used the Pro-Tec knee strap...and with
great success....it's a good product.
The Futuro Knee Strap, however, is half the price of the Pro-Tec,
is more comfortable and does a better job of staying in place. It
may not be as well made...the Futuro appears to be glued togther,
the Pro-tec is stitched...but the materials are comparable and
well, so far so good. I've had no failures over the first couple of
hundred miles of use and they seem to be holding up well.
The only reason I could think of to try the Pro-tec over the Futuro
is if you are very large or very small. the Pro-tec comes in sizes,
Futuro is one size fits all.
