I've had the new table one month now. And so far I have noticed three things about this new Diamond Professional.

First, sad to say, the break still doesn't seem to be working for me. Similar results to the Gold Crown IV. Not sure what to do about this dilemma.

Second, those that said I would hang balls up in the pockets because of the deeper shelf were mistaken. At least so far. I have not really seen this happen at all at this point.

Thirdly, I seem to have more success on running out when I do finally get a ball down and have a decent spread. When I say I have more success it's not much more but it does seem to be the case.

Granted the pockets are slightly - SLIGHTLY - bigger than the Gold Crown and the cloth is still fairly new so we shall see how all of this plays out.

Pockets bigger than the GC?

I'm sure you told us before, but I forget. What size pockets?

No solution other than practice

Wait until the cloth is broken in.

Larger pockets vs the Gold Crown.

And I might want to check the bulbs on that cheap light I have about it. Those 5 lights might be 40 watt bulbs.

Just wondering if changing to 60 watt bulbs might give me a little more light.
 
How many times does Filler have to push out after the break? How many times does he play safe, on the first shot, after the break? How many times does he run a few, always knowing he intends to play safe? Too many highlight reels, raising unrealistic expectations. Too many BIH ghost videos. Beating the pro ghost is far beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of players. Enjoy your table, shoot well.
