Someone please explain the new Diamond Slate Crown removal bolts

cycopath
I just did an install on a new Diamond Professional with the newest “crown removal bolt system”.
The parts included in this system is 4 - 1/4” all-thread bolts (about 10” long), 4 countersunk barrel nuts, 8 fender washers and 8 nuts. There are two countersunk cut holes a few inches apart on each slate located on the joint edges.
There is nothing under the frame to anchor the bolt through to be able to pull the crown out.
Best I can figure you have to mount some kind of board underneath the frame to drill a hole for the bolt to go through and give you a proper anchor point.

I’ll love to hear what is the predetermined way you are supposed to use these bolts.

Pool and Race

Perhaps it’s just where you live. The halls I’ve frequented most of my life generally have quite an eclectic collection of not only different races, but an extremely wide range of different backgrounds and lifestyles. It’s one of the things I’ve always loved about this game, I’ve played Doctors, Drug dealers, Lawyers, Profligates, Judges and Criminals. The most interesting thing is that in the Pool Hall, all those differences really meant nothing, it’s about the game, I love that.

As I said in my post, I don’t get it but e everyone is different and likes what they like. Truthfully, my opinion is a large majority don’t really play well enough to take advantage of the small reduction in deflection, but then again it’s like placebo drugs, what someone BELIEVES can make a change in things. I’ve been playing a really long time and understand deflection so it doesn’t trouble me and in certain situations it’s actually helpful. I’m a believer in whatever you can afford and if it blows your hair back, then so be it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I kind of thought this and the opposite. Deflection does not matter as much for good players since they know how to adjust and stay consistent to that adjustment with their good stroke.

LD becomes error correction for inconsistent strokes. If it forgives 5% of bad strokes than its probably worth the extra money. IMO. I also believe placebos work better for pool than for drugs.
