Black all the way. Always loved those black matte Gold Crown tables.

Yes, I do not like a ball return. That was why I went with the Diamond Professional instead of the Diamond Pro Am. I cannot imagine they won't have it with drop pockets in the near future.

Would you mind asking Nick if they are going to have drop pockets available on the GCVII in the near future?

Correct me if I am wrong but the new Gold Crown VII only has the ball return. Right? It does NOT have drop pockets at this point. Right?

Here's what it looks like on my Gold Crown IV.

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/32688.png I broke some racks of 9-Ball today and on one occasion I had this straight in shot on the 1B as the opening shot. And I missed it as per the line in the diagram shows. When I got down on the shot I simply couldn't tell if the cue was aligned straight at...

Always seemed odd to me that some instructors suggest you only need to practice anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes at a time and then stop for awhile. Yet most top level players will tell you they got to that pro level by practicing eight (8) hours a day. ???????

I believe that is in Europe. I don't believe all of those colors are available in the states.

What colors are available in 760?

Currently the standard Simonis Green is what is on the Diamond Professional. But it is fairly dark and that's not really a good thing.

I am thinking about having the table mechanic come down later in the year, say around October, and having new cloth installed on both my Gold Crown IV and the Diamond Professional. For you new folks the GCIV is the mahogany version and the Diamond Professional is the Oak Cherry version. Just...

Jay, if you need me to run the Accu-Stats office for you while you are gone just let me know as I will be glad to help! And by the way, is your gal doctor hot? r/DCP

jimstone, Unless you are a beginner I don't believe the Mother Drills would do you any good. Some on here thought they might be worthwhile. Others on here thought they were - I'll be kind here - less than helpful. As iusedtoberich said, alot of it is rolling balls down the table. And let...
