You also got to consider if it's got to make any tight turns to get it where you want it.So its true then? The 1 piece is not to be considered for up or down stairs.

Yes. Previous owners got a valley in there with the turns, is the cabinet on a diamond significantly larger? This is what I am unsure of.You also got to consider if it's got to make any tight turns to get it where you want it.
Should. My mother in law has used them before.Will the steps support the weight?
Search ‘pro am with drop pockets’ quite a bit thereI'm watching some old matches with what I think are Pro-Ams and they look like drop pockets. What am I seeing?
True. I had my first 9 Diamond Pro-Am set up in my basement. Where there's a will, there's a way.Completely depends on who you are. Ramps, winches, pulleys, etc. Enough muscle gets it done too!
Yes, and the coin operated version too.Is the Pro Am still the only one with ball return?
Actually they are easy to move. Glen tosses them around by himself like nothing. Uses leverage, gravity and tools he invented to move them. They play great-except the deep shelf’s.

With the rails off, and the slate out of the table, the body of the Diamond is still 87" long and about 15" wide.I'm thinking if they had valley in there you should be able to get the same size Pro Am in there, but I could be wrong
I live in the Omaha area, I purchased a used 7ft 1 piece bar box that was on FB. I got a great price and I arranged with the seller to have someone mov it for me. I called every billiard place in Omaha and the area and I couldn’t find any takers to move it, the 1 piece slate was the issue. I contacted the manufacturer and got detailed instructions on the assembly/disassembly of the table and it had to disassembled moved to my house then reassembled. Moving the slate was kinda of nerve racking, probably not an issue for a table mechanic but kinda nerve racking for an old man a friend moved the slate but I sweated it.So if I understand correctly, the 1 piece is not meant for upstairs, even on a 7 ft. Pro-Am. Now, I have had a few mechanics tell me they will not move even a valley up or downstairs, but yet me and 2 buddies have moved 3 valleys into upstairs bonus rooms and it is really not that big of a deal. Granted, it IS heavy, but being able to move the slate separately from the box is a big help.
My question is, are the 7 ft. pro ams truly more trouble than they are worth moving upstairs? Is the weight too much for 3-4 hefty ol boys? If the stairs/space accommodates the cabinet for a valley, would the pro-am fit?
Lead time for a 3 piece from diamond is around 8 months according to seybert's.
Hang a ball against the pocket facing as close to dropping as you can, and look at how much of the ball is visible when looking straight down the rail. The percentage of ball showing is what you are looking for. Diamond says 40% is their standard.So what is the shelf depth on a Diamond? I want to measure my GV IV for comparison. Having said that, how do I measure it, straight edge across pocket opening then measure perpendicular to that? Thanks!
