Shelti pro II tables - how do u rate those?  I wonder if they are up to parr compared to the tornado tables.  I have never seen a tornado table but my CO has a Shelti pro II table and it seems to be very solid.

The Shelti is a very solid table.  can do any shot or pass on them.  Very fun and good quality!

Be expecting a slower play and more control. The Shelti's I have played on in the past have good solid cabinets and sturdy features, BUT they play nothing like a Tornado... I have to just hammer the ball as hard as i can to get any speed out of them. For those about control this table is great. Would not reccommend a snake on these, it just doesn't want to jive with the shot too much..
Anyway my 2 cents worth.


Snake

what is a "snake"?  a reptile?  a type of shot?

and here is someone in competition shooting it...Terry Moore is the big guy and he was the first person in the early 90's to use it regularly on tour and now probably 80% or higher of players shoot it

This is stage6 and may require a download but it only takes a min and doesn't mess with your computer and you will see the video quality is outstanding
