Keep um coming Sir. enjoyed it.

Yapp has Fedor's number. He's beaten him 7 out of the last 8 times.

A 10-9 win for him after Fedor scratched on the break.

The way a Diamond pocket plays would you rather err on the side of...

Having a successful bank or kick be a little on the short side or the long side?

A set of Hai Ying Playboy balls has just been listed on eBay at $75 or best offer.

They look to be in good condition. Quite tough to find these days.

7' Diamonds have a shorter shelf than 9' Diamonds. It makes them significantly easier for the same pocket size on both.

I’ll check the Diamond tables at Sierra Billiards. I don’t see any need or purpose for a difference in shelf size. I play on 9’ Diamond tables 90 % of the time, probably 95%. 7’ tables, even Diamond, just don’t have any real appeal but if the pockets were smaller, like 4”, I’d likely change my opinion. 4.5” CP seem a little too big for a 7’ Diamond table. I play on 9’ tables with 4.25” CP so any larger pocket size just seems a bit generous to my eye but obviously it really isn’t. IMO, the harder the table plays, the more I enjoy it despite feeling frustrated at times. It motivates me to play better and other tables become easier. However, in 14.1, I think the pocket size should be 4.5” for comparison purposes but I still prefer smaller pockets for 8, 9 and 10 ball. It helps to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of player skill levels.
