I have a 9’ Diamond Paragon, which I think is currently their Flagship model.
I ordered it from Heath Manning. He asked if I was
sure I wanted the 4.75” pockets. I confirmed that’s what I wanted. It had been 20-25 years since I’d been in a
real pool room and played on 9’ pro tables.
He had me confirm once again about halfway through the waiting period. And, just before finalizing the table, Diamond called to be sure that was correct. So, for that model anyway, I think people order 4.5” or tighter.
I think the table plays great! I measure the pockets at 4.625”, though.
