How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

Whatever Diamond rails you used on the Anniversary you sold me are great! Probably the best playing table I've ever played on and I grew up on Gold Crowns.
Black diamond cushions
Less springy than the Aremis and less money.

Geoff Bradshaw recalibrate the rail facings correctly and built out pocket openings to Diamond specs.

A lot less money.
A friend had a set installed on his GC3.
Didn't pay the Diamond label .
They're much cheaper without their label.
They're Asian import.
 
I've probably played more pool on a diamond than Glen, so who's really qualified to say what's normal? He does try very hard to discredit me and prove his own point which may or may not be correct
Glen’s a solid player. Glen is the master of tables. He’s the guy that wrote the book. Do your homework… research Glen and come back here.
I love Diamonds. Hopefully this is not another GC vs Diamond thread =]
I love GC’s more than Diamond. Mainly for esthetics. We’re talking new Corvette(GC) vs ugly Tesla(Diamond). My Crown has extra large corner pockets and dehumidified cushions. The table speed can be adjusted if I breath heavy. My biggest problem at my age is after I take my shot I fall asleep immediately. I don’t know if the ball dropped or not. But seriously what would happen if there were no Diamonds or Crowns. What would we do. Who we gonna call. Lately I’m into bumper pool. I have a fartgo rating of 69. I kick like a jackass and bank like a dick. But all is good. Table has brand X douchbag rails and 100 cheese cloth (HD). I’d play better if I had a lights out cue. Are they still available?

Really? I've played for over 50+ years, i turn 67 in December, and I've been working on tables for 40+ years, and have been directly involved with Diamond since March 2000, 23+ years ago. I've built pool tables from scratch, over 300 of them, how many have you built?

Don't make a bet your ass can't cover buddy!!

They play short because Artemis is so reactive and quick to compress....shortens the rebound angle.

If they are in AC they can definitely get springy. Some 7 footers will act like every rail the cueball gains speed.
That doesn't make sense because 7' Diamonds don't use Artemis cushions and my 9' Gold Crown I has Artemis on it and it does not bank short.

I'm talking play time. I've played on diamonds for 20 years. I've built 0 tables.
 
From Badboys Texas State Championships. Blue label 7ft Diamonds. Incredibly short rails even at slow speeds. Cue ball doesn't slow down much. I assume rails were replaced or something wrong with cloth install? Never seen anything like it on a Diamond

To be clear... I love Diamond tables! Just these ones are screwed up
It looked like that shot was hit really shitty. I'm not saying the tables are perfect but I'd adapt to that after 1 or 2 shots.

EDIT: He hit it with left... what do you expect to happen?
 
Clearly RKC can't accept other possibilities such as the rails have been replaced or some sort of install issue. Well it was worth a shot to learn what went wrong here but ego wins out in this case
No, you just don't get your way just because you want it, facts speak for themselves, you just want to be heard like you really know something, when in fact you don't know squat!!😅🤣😂you're clearly one of THOSE people that get their feelings hurt if you're not listened to, and need to be handled with kids gloves or you'll start crying! I've raised my kids, don't care to hear other kids crying just to get their way!!!
