[ezypin]

I found a free application in iphone apps called stanly level, Seems to work pretty accurate to level the playfield.

Great Tip !

Biggest problem is calibrating it to start with. How do you know what's level in your house or garage??? OK, so you need a manual level to calibrate the iPhone but if you have to get the manual level out then you may as well use it...

You're right but the i-phone gives a digital readout of the angle, so you can adjust until you get 6.5 deg or maybe adjust it to suit your playing preference.

Ah, yes, most cheaper levels won't give you an angle reading, so you do get an advantage there. Will have to borrow my wife's again and try that out some time.

BLAH BLAH BLAH I PHONE bill gates loves you  But can you make a simple phone call on it lol only have one friend with one that it actually works only cause he lives in the cbd

Bill Gates hates iphones , Steve jobs from apple loves them.

As for the calibration, find a reasonable flat surface and it takes 2 readings to calibrate. seems pretty accurate. eg you use a slope with 5' angle, press calibrate 1 rotate phone 180' press calibrate 2 and it calculates what level 0' is.
