The gc4s are that saggers.
Best table...

I think it's the 4? Could be wrong on that. I just like the bronze colored accents.
That’s strange - Did they change the design of the cross beams under the slate?
The 4s sagged because the frame design no longer directly supported dte head/foot rails at the ends.
Not sure if that directly answered ya!
Yes, thanks. Strange they would change it from previous designs? I guess maybe to try to save a few $$?

It really depends on where you are going with this. If you plan on doing leagues and/or tournaments, it might be best to get what they are playing on. I would have preferred to have a gold crown, but 99% of the pool played outside of my home is on Diamonds, that is just the way it is...
That being said, it doesn't make sense to me to own a Diamond Professional vs a Pro-Am. They are both ugly, but the Pro-Am is so ugly it is beautiful, lol. And you don't really have to worry about dings and such. The Professional does not shoot the same as a Pro-Am, at least in my opinion.

How many balls does the side and corner pockets hold with the sponge?Diamond strongly discouraged me from ordering a Pro-Am with drop pockets. And by strongly discouraged, I mean refused to sell me one.
So, I converted mine
Every once in a while, if I'm practicing something like straight pool or one pocket, I'll remove the sponges and let the balls use the return.

Yeah most of mine are either on diamonds or older older Brunswicks. Interesting about the 2 tables shooting different. I just need something 9ft. A 9ft feels like a football field compared to my 8ft. Thanks for the feedback. Any experience with rasson or predator
100% Tons'o'Hype with Diamond tables. They do play very differently.
Also agree on them being ugly. However I think their version of "flush pockets" the worst of the main players in the table market.
...or a new table of any other manufacturer. There's a unwarranted premium with buying a diamond that I'll never understand.

They are the only flush pockets I've ever played on, I'd likely agree if I had other experience.
We've had this discussion hundreds of times.
'just need something 9ft' is short sighted and a pool table is not a short term possession.
Rasson / predator are not yet real market players for pool tables in USA. You can buy a Peugeot but why would you do that to yourself...you know?
Having owned 4 tables, the diamond is far and away the best.
So solid and consistent, compared to any other I've played on.
I'd even give the nod to the new version of the Valley BB over the diamond effort.
That soft leather diamond uses is terrible. Shame you don't have other available options in your area. Trust me, the world is a better place...
Well that may be more persuasive if we knew what models the other 3 were
Drop Pocket.
Sure they do.
Buy used....always good tables available.
Diamond tables in 3 piece slate are tough to come by.
If you played 30 years ago on 9 footers then just get a nice Brunswick Gold Crown. Keep the pockets bigger....you probably won't like how a Diamond with 4.5.inch pockets plays.
Go out to a local room with diamonds or gold crowns...see what you.like
Nobody is bringing Diamond 1 piece slate down stairs...like 900#
Consider a gold crown....get em for 2 k or less. A good table mechanic and.new cloth, it will play awesome.
If you go to Super Billiards Diamond will sell you something be 9000 to 10k installed
3s are cheap all the way around...import table.
He might get a GC 4 or newer....so much out there and not alot of 9 foit table buyers
Have you seen the price of a new GC? It's more than a Diamond. A new Rasson is right around the same as a Diamond a Predator is more.
