I was going to give the AZB think tank a chance to flex.

I just did an install on a new Diamond Professional with the newest “crown removal bolt system”. The parts included in this system is 4 - 1/4” all-thread bolts (about 10” long), 4 countersunk barrel nuts, 8 fender washers and 8 nuts. There are two countersunk cut holes a few inches apart on each...

My brother wants to put some kind of slow nap cloth on his table reminiscent of the Gorina IPT cloth. What are his best choices these days? Most everything is worsted. I never install nap cloth anymore. Is Championship Invitational too slow compared to the Gorina IPT cloth? (I've never seen the...

Until recently, as far as Gold Crowns go, I’ve only ever recovered GC III’s and my personal GC IV. I was recently hired to do a GC II at a local Senior Center. I had no idea the aprons were held in position by that strange clip/hinge system. I see why Brunswick abandoned that idea later. Really...

Good news! My friend contacted the seller and after a more thorough search of his garage the caps were found! Along with the pockets he couldn’t find before… Thanks for the replies guys.

My friend bought a converted 9ft Red Label Professional. It was already disassembled and really kind of scattered in the guy’s garage. We couldn’t find the pockets. No problem, the guy ordered a new set for my friend. But we didn’t notice the corner rail caps were missing. Is there a way of...

That’s exactly what I figured, just thought I’d ask before my friend purchased something he can’t even use. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a friend that’s wanting to mount a ball holder to his older Professional. Does the ball holder that Diamond offers for the Pro Am tables work on the Professional? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was recently at a weekly tournament while I was out of town visiting the in-laws. The room had eight 9 foot Diamond Professionals and a few bar box Valleys. You could instantly tell the Diamonds were older because of having the rounded outside corners. Then I noticed several didn’t even have...

I helped a friend put his 7ft Smart Table on the second floor of his house. The staircase was two half flights with a narrow landing between, but we got it in there. So yes, where there’s a will there’s a way… most of the time. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out though.

It wasn’t a matter of the stairs. The staircase was straight but the landing at the top was very narrow, and you had to take a hard right turn into the room. A one piece slate is way too cumbersome to lift over people’s heads to try to make the turn. I don’t care how nice the table is, it’s not...
