Smaller Pockets Don’t Always Play Smaller … Dr. Dave Evaluates His New Rails and Pockets

The problem with thicket facings, is while the corners still drop nicely, the sides are now near impossible at any steep angle. Shots that would typically fall in readily on a standard GC, are no longer even considered.
Nope. 2 stacked facings it acts like you said, but softer, one thicker rubber it play good. I can demonstrate if need proof.


Anyways Dave, you got table I think you gonna enjoy a lot. I enjoy most tight tables that forces you aim better but they are fair. I think you got yourself on that kind of table!

So now I have a Diamond

So after a month of playing, it is a kick a$$ table. Worth every penny and all of the time invested. I would argue that even if I didn’t do the work myself, that paying a mechanic would still have been worth it.

The 760 with clean and polished Centennials makes for a great playing experience. (Waxgate style ;-) So much so that I am spoiled and it is affecting my game at the pool room. I Sucked today!

They have Pro-ams with, as you would expect, progressively dirty, 860hr and dirty, clingy balls. I know I need to adjust but man what a delta! And certainly a learning experience when it comes to playing conditions.

It is easier to understand what sucks but harder to compensate.
This is why I don’t rush to recover my table as often as some. I clean my table and balls once a week.. My cloth is a little worn after almost 2.5 years of play. (I play just about every day) but It’s more like what I play on when I’m out at bars for leagues or tournaments

SJM at the Matchroom Florida Open

Thanks for sharing those wonderful pictures of the beautiful Caribe Royale hotel.

Next Monday, they can go to the US Open 9ball in Atlantic City. It has been a great month of opportunity for the players, with four events back to back (Rally in the Shenandoah Valley, Florida Open, Battle of the Bull, and US Open 9ball), all of them on the East Coast. Many of the elite chose to play in all four of them.

With nice events week after week, things are improving for the players.
