Ordered The New Diamond Today!

Balls spread out. Alot of times I make a ball.

But 90% of the time or more I just don't seem to have a runnable rack. This has been going on for 20+ years. I remember years ago I would get so frustrated that I would throw balls against the wall.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's the Gold Crown IV. I just hope and pray the Diamond is more forgiving. And when I say forgiving I am not - NOT - talking about the corner pockets.

What it is, is that you won't listen. Dee is a good teacher and so are a few others you have taken lessons with.

You think the answers lie in a new stick, chalk, rails, gizmo, or heck even a new table. No one, and I mean no one breaks that many racks and doesn't have a look at a run. If I take your past 3 posts about this, you are like 30, 50, and 29, with no runnable racks. Is it the shooter or the gun?

Agreed.

It is not the table.

And a Diamond is not going to be easier.

You don't know that. Tables just seem to play differently at times. Only time will tell.

And whatever that idiot u12armresl said you can rest assured he has no clue what he's talking about.

We do know that .. you said in another text it’s been going on for 25 years … it’s not the table. Your break is bad.. a table won’t change that 😂 there are a million videos on you tube to explain breaking and how to control balls..watch them.

It can be a hard game.

Especially when we use what the pros do for a yardstick.
 
If it is the table that explains why I suck yang. This makes me happy...I thought it was me.

The table doesn't make a rack runnable, the player does does. The best a player can hope for after the break is a look at the lowest ball on the table, the rest is skill, if you aint getting a look at the lowest ball on the table you need to fix your break until you do.
 
I’m going against the grain and saying there is a chance you are on the right track. Table and conditions make a difference. The Diamond plays live, and fast. It will be on the second floor, not in basement. I recently played in a tournament with all Diamond tables. Diamond rack, clean shiny balls, fast cloth, live cushions. The room was well ventilated and humidity was well handled. My break success was way up, and I ran out twice in the four matches I played. This on 7’ tables, and a small sample size. You shoot better than I do, so you might be on the right track.

Exactly. Plus, winning the game is more important than running out. With skill and strategy, a player always has a chance to win regardless of what the balls look like after the break.
