Thanks.... I know which baffle box to get now :)

Katgammon 2-piece baffle is best there is. No need for any imitators, especially cheap and crappy ones 😂

It's not your board, you are vague about the cubes, vague about the dice. This is NOT a review it's an OPINION.

what kind of board is that ?

Awesome

I bought one without knowing or searching for a review - Mine is completely black, really cheap material and indeed really loud - in addition, some magnets were not glued properly and got out of their sockets so I needed to glue them back...really noisy but good looking I must say and also I had no problem playing on it (played like 7 point games last time on it without dice blocked or jumping out, so the design is good, but the material lacks quality)

5:30 How the heck did you get doubles five times in a row?! Can you teach me?😂

I was about to buy one, but the sound in the videos from the Istavder Tournament was too annoying and "cheap". Thanks for the video 👍

Good to see you posting reviews again! I got the Backgammon Learning Centre baffle box based on one of your previous reviews and have been very happy with it. However, I think there's gap in the market for a premium baffle box made with better quality materials. I'm sure it will happen. I recently purchased one of the new ZMF clocks featured in the Chicago Open, which provide a solution for doubling cube placement for those of us who prefer to use a baffle box.

Nice to have you back! Love your content!

Thank you

Hi did you test P-40 scrambler?

Yes, the sound is great. Why is that important , I don't know but it is.

Unscrew , a little wood glue, a toothpick, let it dry then rescrew it

Surely they would send you another handle

People pay extra for a reliced guitar!

Скажите пажалуйста какая точная толщина в мм этих шашек с размером 44,5 мм. Спасибо.

King

Fmgammon board are the king

What are the dimensions of the 23 inch board?

Hi! If you're a fan of true crime documentaries, I recommend watching the latest high-quality true crime documentary video I recently shared. Your comments mean a lot to me, so please share your thoughts. Take care of your health, and I hope you take the time to come and show your support. Thank you in advance, buddy!

$400 seems crazy to me.

"Promo SM" 🔥

I enjoy your content. You mentioned that you wouldn't pay $5000 for a Geoffrey Parker but I'm guessing your board collection exceeds that value. Do you prefer having a selection of different boards or would you exchange them for a GP?

Thinking about the Backgammon learning center baffle box. I wonder if it would be worth it to unscrew and remove all the rods and add heat shrink tubing to each.

If they were all like the ones on black's 5 point in the close up view, it'd probably be okay. I think a big part of the problem is the variation between the checkers: it almost looks like playing with four different colors. You can tell them apart if you think about it, but that's the thing. You want it to be instantly obvious and not something you have to think about.

katgammon R2 and the backgammon learning center, can they travel in a closed board?

I really liked your review. I would like to buy a baffle box and following your review I am hesitating between the Backgammon learning center and the katgammon R2. Which one is the strongest and who rolls the dice the best, Thank you in advance for your response and congratulations for your videos.

You need to do the Backgammon Galaxy one that is supposedly "silent" with non-acrylic material

gorgeous board materials and color scheme. Nice one

love your videos Vin! Thanks a lot for putting this out.

Onde encontra isso no Brasil gente?

I can see his balls through his pants

Now that you have had this board for awhile, what do you think? Specifically, how is it holding up, any further thoughts on the nickel plated checkers vs acrylic, any 'wish they had done this' items? I'm in the process of ordering a tournament board/set and torn between this one from Wycliff Bros and the Crisloid Tournament attache. What has me going back and forth are the checkers? Nickel plated Vs Acrylic. Any thoughts would be appreciated . Thanks

Gammoner also give an extra 16th checker with their boards

Does Casa de Gamão have an official website?

I was fortunate enough to be able to afford either, and after reading all reviews I ordered a Gammoner. The shorter reach, slightly thicker surface, lighter weight being made of reral leathher convinced me to go with the Gammoner. Both look great, and I am sure either would be fantastic. My Gammoner is due in a couple of weeks. You do have to wait about 8 monthhs.

Need to hear sound. Need to see the bounce

Your loose screws, just insert a piece of toothpick in the screw holes before putting the screws again. Tight and right!!!!

great review. I wish I had seen it 4 years ago.

After 61P-54S-64 the correct move is 24/20 13/7 rather than 24/14.

I can't say anything about the Gammoner boards. Don't own one nor have I played on one. However I do own an FTH board. Mine is custom made. I requested the field and points color be as close to the Neptune color combination as possible. I have a set of Bakelite checkers that I sent in to have the board built around the checkers. My checkers are in a 3X5 layout. Just like the Crisloid boards have. Personally with the price that I spent on a custom board. I would recommend FTH over Gammoner. My FTH custom board has been posted on Facebook. You will know it when you see it. Red and Butterscotch Bakelite checkers on a Neptune color scheme. Its an amazing look. Has that 8 Ball UK pool look to it. Huge thumbs 👍 for FTH.

Hi, i am Fazil, builder of FTH Boards :-) i can make boards with size between 52 cm and 64 cm. ;-). I make my playing fields from high-quality merino wool felt. The more often you play with this playingfield , the better the playingfield becomes. If it fluffs, simply shave it off with a beard razor and vacuum it up. Greetings from Germany

Doesn’t seem enjoyable at the speed. Especially for $100.

I have a Hector Saxe board that the playing surface started pilling. I just figured there wasn’t anything I could do about unless I sent the board back to get changed. I took a mach3 razor 🪒 to it and carefully shaved the raised excess. Looks brand new now. Just thought I’d throw in that tip.

Great comparison and thanks for posting this! I've been curious on the comparisons between the two. I'd imagine both would be a joy to play on. Which do you find yourself reaching for more?

I don’t like those big boards for long heads up sessions. After hours of reaching it gets old. Both are nicely built tho. The old leather Gammoner boards that say “built in West Germany” are the best playing boards ever imo.

One thing I'd note: While there's a "chipping effect" on the trays and bar of the FM board (that you don't get with the more solid Taki board), there is a bit of a trade-off as well. The surface on the FM seems to hold up better than the surface of the Taki board. I love my Taki board, but he spray-paints the points on and they tend to "smudge" a bit over time. I think the Taki is definitely more solidly made, has better hingework, and has better latches, but the FM wins in the surface department. I had heard this about Taki boards prior to buying one and got a dark gray playing surface to mitigate the smudge effect. This has helped considerably; if I had light playing field, it would be very noticeable.

Interesting

hello I am working on a sound library (dice, cups, etc) for XG GNUBG and so I plan to share this library with the community once it's finished. and I was wondering if I could use some parts of the audio from your videos to make the library richer Beforehand thank you very much
