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

there is no normal for an individual table as they change based on many factors in its environment. but you can figure out those quickly with a couple shots.

but there is a normal with all tables and that normal is for the table to roll properly according to its diamond system. that is why there has been a standard to tables to play with the diamond system.

if you just got one practice shot before you play, make it a cross rail bank two diamonds to one at medium speed. that will tell you most of what you are facing that day and table.

How are under rail nut plates for rail bolts supposed to be replaced if they strip out.

There are ways to get at the T-Nut sideways on GCs. That involves removing the cushion which leaves the opening to the T-Nut available for removal. You can also drill the stripped bolt out and retap the T-Nut. Also, there are ways to route out the rail around the frozen bolt and remove it but I don't recommend that as its too draconian unless no other options are available.

Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

I play on Diamond Tables with 4.25” pockets on 9’ tables 90-95% of the time. When I switch to one of the tables with 4.5” CP, it does play easier. When I switch to a Diamond 7’ table with 4.5” pockets after playing on a 9’ Diamond table with 4.25” CP, the 7’ table plays so much easier than the 9’ with smaller pockets. I think playing with 4.25” pockets on a 7’ Diamond table is the way to go. I’d like to try a 7’ Diamond table with 4” pockets. It could be the best combination that makes 7’ tables as challenging as a 9’ table with 4.25” pockets. I’d have to try it to be sure but it sure seems like it would be tough & enjoyable.
7' Diamonds have a shorter shelf than 9' Diamonds. It makes them significantly easier for the same pocket size on both.
