I haven't read all of the posts but, in my area there is a bar (my favorite place) that has stuck with their Global bar boxes. For reference, this is a place that calls itself a billiards place that has 11 tables, it's really a sports bar with lots of tables. They also have a pretty decent dart area, foosball, TV's everywhere, and a large big screen , oh, and they have great food. I'm pretty close with the owner and she asked me if she should switch to Diamonds once, I think a local rep came to her and tried to sell her on them. We talked about revenue, food sales, quality of customers, etc. In the end she stuck with her Globals because 1) She would have lost money, she has free pool every day (11-2 M-F and 1-4 Sat-Sun), if she went with Diamonds this would go away and each game would cost $1 and she wouldn't have a say in it, as mentioned, they have good food and almost all of the people that come in for free pool buy food. 2) Although there's a lot of league play there, it's mostly APA, most of the higher level players (gamblers) play out of a pool hall about 1 mile away that has all diamonds (both 7' and 9') and she didn't believe that going to Diamonds would bring any new customers in as most of those players are perfectly happy playing at the other place. 3) This place can get rowdy on the weekends, I've seen more than one officer (or groups of officers) come in looking for people. It's not the kind of place I would go on a Friday night, it's just a big party. She decided that having that type of clientele with expensive tables would be a lose/lose situation.
