all tables are a little different. hurts in one pocket. especially if they bank short as a hard shot sends it back to the opponents pocket instead of just away.
and the diamonds with worn cloth, react crazy sometimes when you hit cross table 3 or 4 rails. sometimes they reverse a lot on the 3rd rail or 4th and sometimes they just go straight.
sometimes they bounce on certain tables and all bets are off.
and with the tighter pockets speed control is more important, as diamonds shorten more than gold crowns on hard shots.
and hitting a little harder you are punished more if you hit short than long as it goes right for the opponents pocket or close, even with angle.
9 ball players don't have issues as much as most shots are, goes in or not.
do you guess i don't like diamonds for one pocket?
