I have the same cloth. Not sure I would ever want anything different.

Probably. There is nothing special about them. They are coated plastic and the openings are roughly 1 inch square (without actually looking at mine right now).

I went Diamond simply because that seemed to be the way the wind has shifted in the pool world but I still love a nice GC. There isn't a bad choice between the two. Pick your favorite and have fun.

Agreed. I thought it was a great watch. Not surprised its gone but still bummed.

If I had room for a 9 I'd have one. With my 8 I have room for stroke with zero obstructions. I hate home tables with shots you need a shorty for. 98% of the tables in the places here are 7s and I love being able to practice on a bigger table. Makes the 7 feel that much easier when I get down...

I always shoot better when a song I really like comes on...

Which side of the pocket? Head rail side or long rail side? If its on head rail side the ball shows all the way out of the pocket with some room between it and the side rail. If it is against the long side cushion it shows 40% in, 60% out.

Check out my table in the TDF thread. Not sure if it is a mistake from Diamond but my table's shelf is very shallow. I have been told that I might own the only 3pc slate 8ft Pro-Am ever built. Not sure if that has something to do with it...

Good lord. Its not like its THAT hard to pocket a ball on a Diamond. The play is consistent and that is important. I wonder how much of it has to do with the cloth? I know when the bar our team used to play in switched to Diamonds my low ranked players had a hard time adjusting to the speed...

I am not sure what grosses me out more, Balut or San Miguel.

Most likely it is plain ole super glue... That is how slates are generally glued. I would imagine acetone would be your friend. Is the joint waxed? A torch to melt the wax might help get solvent to the glue. The glue is most likely only in 3 spots on the joint a couple inches long each...

I play APA rules at home so I practice how I shoot league and I do keep a rule book in my case..

You made exactly the right call. Congrats, you will love it. I run the same cloth on my 8ft.

Because that crap is nasty.

Just remember you are in an advantageous position getting to practice on a tight table. Once you master it your game will be that much better. I am just now getting used to the 4 3/8" pockets on my Diamond. They are very stingy...

No 9 inch tables meet the specs...

Go with 860. I have no idea why anyone would say that would make your table too fast. It will make it awesome...

I have ordered from them more than any other place. Great service every time. They are definitely my go to.

Its a small room but it works. Just big enough for the 8 foot Pro-Am with stroke room all around. I have been told that I may have the only 3 piece slate 8 ft Pro-Am ever made to this point. Apparently 8 ft Pro-Ams are rare period. It is on the 3rd floor.

He is talking about the mouth of the corner pockets. 5" is a pretty standard Brunswick pocket. Any table is better than no table and Brunswick makes a decent table. Where do you live where you can't find Simonis? UPS delivers almost everywhere.
