I've had the new table one month now. And so far I have noticed three things about this new Diamond Professional.

First, sad to say, the break still doesn't seem to be working for me. Similar results to the Gold Crown IV. Not sure what to do about this dilemma.

No solution other than practice

Second, those that said I would hang balls up in the pockets because of the deeper shelf were mistaken. At least so far. I have not really seen this happen at all at this point.

Wait until the cloth is broken in.

Thirdly, I seem to have more success on running out when I do finally get a ball down and have a decent spread. When I say I have more success it's not much more but it does seem to be the case.

Larger pockets vs the Gold Crown.

Granted the pockets are slightly - SLIGHTLY - bigger than the Gold Crown and the cloth is still fairly new so we shall see how all of this plays out.

Masters 3C event Cancelled in Colombia

Many years ago in Las Vegas, a man opened a Billiard Parlor that had eight 5-10 billiard tables and nothing else. At some point he contacted the UMB and said he wanted to host a World Cup. Not too long before the event was to be held, he called the UMB and said he didn’t have enough money and the event was cancelled. Many players had already booked their flights and made hotel reservations. On one of my trips to Vegas I went to this room. The owner had taken out five of the billiard tables and replaced them with pool tables. I think both Eddie Robin and the Melnichuk brothers used to go there. Manny Pacquiao played there.

Here is a thread about Ermanno's attempt at a World Cup from 2010. In the end, it appears that he had no contacts in casinos and much of what he said was disconnected from what was actually happening.

In his room, he pushed pin billiards very hard, but few people wanted to play it. He had some very expensive Italian carom tables.


The cancellation was announced by Ermanno on February 4th, 2011:

Pockets bigger than the GC?

I'm sure you told us before, but I forget. What size pockets?

Fraud beware

OverTheNut
Get their phone number. Call them.
If they are genuine they won't mind.

If they've claimed to be from xxx town. Look that town up. Tell them you've been there. Make something up like 'it was great that it was only a 2 hour drive from Chicago'. If they are 20 hours from Chicago then they'll quickly say 'umm, no it ain't'.

Who's their fav pool player? etc.

Very easy to work out if they are for real when you actually talk to them. On the phone.
