My New Diamond Professional!

Delivery and installation is complete. I've only shot around about a minute because I am hungry and then need to run to Walmart and get some stuff so I don't have to go tomorrow. Might get to play on it later tonight.

The install took about 4.5 hours. Alot of good stories shared. Including the one about the bank robbery. Anyway, attached are some pics for verification for those that were in doubt.

I had never seen the cloth sprayed/glued before. Interesting to see that done. If you look close you can see DIAMOND engraved into the rails.

Spray glue does not hold.

Aramith Billiard Balls

Here is the set I received. Hopefully is is an Aramith set, but because of the way it plays I'm still satisfied with it. Maybe you can shed some light on the authenticity.

unless the number is oriented differently...i dont know
thats why a pic would be interesting
could be a flashback maybe ....😂😂

If the bed cloth was installed with spray glue, I can assure you the cloth wasn't stretched indexed either! I'd call those installers hacks, because they didn't learn how to spray glue the bed cloth from Diamond, they use my toll on adhesive, and they're stretch indexing the cloth now that I went back to the factory over a month ago and retrained them again!

Classic Cue Market Dying Off

So I use the same Triple 60 CF shaft across all my butts. So it doesn't matter if I swinging a Szamboti, Drexler or a Black the hit is very consistent.

I've always run off the 80/20 rule. The shaft is 80% of the hit and the butt is 20%. The butt is about transmission of the hit to the hand and the control stick for the shaft.

I am playing with a solid piece of wood with a 3/8 x 10 pin, an extension from another cue in the middle that has a G10 pin
3/8x 10 and a solid maple shaft from another cue (South East). This combo plays better than anything I've ever used.

Very close to a broomstick with a shaft on it.

Mechanical Bridge Designs

I am very biased, but here is my favorite bridge.
I like the moosehead at our table because its the tallest bridge there. The Hitchiker is taller than PoolDawg's Moosehead (photos show Hitchiker 5-1/4" vs PoolDawg's Moosehead 4" ). I would have to work with the Hitchiker to see if its ability to pivot is a major advantage. The Moosehead I use now is loose on the cue-stick holder --- the Hitchhiker would be better than that.
