in my experience you never get that on a pool table ....(aim at 3 (1 diamond past side pocket)to go 3 rails to the corner) billiard table yes or on brand new cloth only
what english do you use?
Some customers you can afford to lose!

In order to answer your question, I need to ask you a few questions first, so that's why I gave you my phone number. 702-927-5689
So this thread doesn't end on such a weird note... I do love diamond tables. I would buy a 9 footer myself. But I think it is a little shocking if the 7ft table plays this short off the rail, only because of high humidity in the room and otherwise normal conditions.

I wonder if we may have stumbled upon part of the reason Diamond didn't want to continue their Tunica event...humidity.
Hmmm
Hmmm
I'm not arguing at all. Just posting rebuttals to supposed facts
I agree. I wonder if the way I learned the game when I was young, on gold crowns, influenced what looks natural to me.
Lack of audience from what I saw.
It’s not just high humidity. It’s pretty much every substance that comes in contact with the balls ends up on the cushion contact point. Humidity just happens to be the leading factor. By either cleaning the surface or rubbing a neutralizing solution on either the balls or the cushion nose, and having significant change just confirms the issue is friction at the nose contact point. You guys are way over thinking this. FWIW considering all the travels, storage and heavy use these tables go through that kick looked good to me. If all the tables play the same then that’s great as well. I think you did put 1 mm or so RH spin, whether you realized or not.
Last comment for me. Just my experience, it's not right or wrong. I've played somewhat high level 8 ball and bar table pool for 10+ years. And these were very unusual table conditions. Out of the hundreds of bar table tournaments I've played, these were the most challenging I've experienced because the rails were so fast and the angles were so short off the rails, even at slow speeds. I started safety breaking because I wasn't confident of my cue ball. I've also played in rooms with high humidity as well as dry. Shrug
I understand. It’s like the difference of going from driving a clunker car with half a turn steering wheel play to driving a Ferrari that jerks your head out of socket if you just sneeze while driving. Those Diamonds with sticky cushions are great though. Just drive with caution!
Don’t sweat it. When the Reds were out and JOHNNY freaking Archer said they were horrible, Glen would say “what has he won lately”.
Didn't Caesars just close up the Tunica casino location and eventually demolish it?

Preach! They’re the next coming of whoever someone’s deity of choice might be, but I can’t stand em.
What most people hate about Diamond tables is ………..waiting for it when buying for a home table. I hate the that the pockets are pretty much equal size to each other. Hate that the PRC is bullet proof. Can’t stand the 1 piece slate stays flat. No seams. The corner pockets that hold 10-11 balls is joke for one pocket players. Balls should be bouncing out but don’t. Table’s absolutely suck
