Testing Kicks and Banks on Diamond Brand Tables, and How to Adjust Aiming

M
they bank short of the old standard in and out angles that is the basis for starting your thinking.

but after playing enough you have hit enough banks to just know where to hit on the speed you are going to use
you still have to visualize your shot line not just the spot to hit.
just like cutting a ball in you dont have to measure the line you just know the spot you need to hit and do it.

There are many players who only play on Diamonds (Blue Labels). So to them the Diamonds bank correctly and the other tables bank long. This would be especially so for players who don’t use any system and bank by feel and experience.

I would be curious to hear if great bankers who grew up in the Diamond era (such as Fedor) think of adjusting to a Diamond banking short or just think of that as the default.

I thought that too in years past. But when these modern players play on a GC or a Predator they play jam up. I think even though players today are used to Dimaonds more than other brands, the angles on other brands are still more intuitive to them. That's my guess, anyway:)

Also of note all the European players play on normal tables in Europe on the Eurotour.

Good point. I good player needs to be able to adjust to any table conditions, but check out the video. Even the Blue Labels with brand new and slick cloth in a dry environment bank shorter than most other tables. The Red Label Diamonds were (and are, in many places) downright ridiculous, especially with broken-in and dirty cloth in a humid environment.
