    Diamond cushions

    So long as the tables are similar vintage, the cushions are the same. Around 2010, Diamond changed the rail profile slightly, which was a change across all tables. The labels on the head rail of the tables were then changed from red to blue, signifying the change in rail profile. So, so long...

    Moving a 9' Gold Crown III with my furniture using a professional moving company

    This is a common crate design, used by many moving companies. I'm curious where in CNY you are moving to. We cover a 3 hour radius from 13092. That covers most of the state.

    GC3 price ?

    It depends. Are you planning to purchase from a private seller? From a dealer? Is the table reconditioned, or all original? Do you want an installed price, with fresh cloth? If so, what make/model cloth? Do you expect it to have new cushions? If so, which ones? We sell fully refurbished Gold...

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    Sure I have. I just get irritated when people cast their own ideas of "Success" unto others. Can anyone survive on the meager pay that the majority of these 'professionals' are making? No. Everyone knows that.... As I said above, being a successful pool player does not necessarily equate to...

    Question about stretch index on fast speed cloth?

    Gorina T2000 and Basalt stretch a bit more than Simonis 860. Championship Tour Edition stretches MUCH more than Simonis 860, and is quite a bit faster. ProForm505 and Andy Premier are quite considerably faster than Simonis 860, though they stretch less. Simonis 760 stretches about the same as...

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    You said, "Define success".... The literal definition is: the accomplishment of one's goals. Therefore, it's relative to the individual.

    Super Billiards Expo 2026

    Success is relative to the individual, as it is simply a matter of accomplishing one's goals. Success as a pool player does not typically equate to a successful career.

    Gambling room all but gone at the expo?

    I wish that we had done introductions and mentioned our AZB monikers. I was there for a couple of hours, mostly talking with Steve Gephart and Brian Russell. I left the Expo center around 7:45. At that time, the bed cloth hadn't been laid out yet.

    Gambling room all but gone at the expo?

    I heard that there were far more TAP teams than typical, so the 7' tables were needed for the team events. No idea on the validity of that rumor, but it would make sense.

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    You are 100% wrong in your previous asserted certainty. You claimed that you are 100% certain that the Amazon set that you purchased were returned by another customer, simply because the box was not wrapped in plastic. It would be impossible for you to be that certain, unless the balls showed...

    Do Aramith balls come in a sealed box?

    Interesting.... By the way, you are 100% wrong.... I've been a dealer, for several years. I have purchased Aramith balls from 5 different suppliers. While I have seen plastic on a select couple of Aramith sets, most are just open boxes. Some distributors will tape them, which is nice. But, not...

    Alternative to Brunswick Superspeed cushions

    Exactly. Andy Premier is MUCH faster than even 760. And yes, my cushion nose height is much lower than it should be. I will be correcting it, whenever I get around to replacing the cloth and cushions. I don't play enough on the bigger tables, to justify taking the time to make the updates.
