    More Early Impressions Of The Diamond Professional

    I've also noticed three more things with regards to the new Diamond Professional. 1) The side pockets play tough. I've hit some shots into the side pockets facings and they have bounced out. Shots that I though would go in. Is this typical of Diamond tables? 2) The table plays faster than my...

    Cuetec Fires Strickland

    Then again, how much did Cuetec pay Earl back in the day to play with their cue?

    Cuetec Fires Strickland

    A few years ago when I was down in Owensboro both me and Nick Varner had the same impression of a Cuetec cue. That being as follows: "The only good thing about a Cuetec is that you can put a string on it and go fishing with it the next day....." r/DCP

    Gold Crown 7 Revealed

    So, are you saying you like the new Gold Crown VII? And you like it more than a Diamond? Or did I misunderstand?

    Playing Pool after 50?

    Jim Rempe said in an interview with Grady Mathews once that there is no reason why one can't play great pool in theirs 50s and 60s. I hope he's right. r/DCP

    Table Light Recommendations

    I've replaced the old 40W and/or 60W bulbs in my table light with the LED bulbs. The one where it uses like 15W but puts out about 75W and 1100 lumens. It lights up the table a little better now. Since probably over 75% of my playing time on the new Diamond Professional will be during the day...

    This Is What I'm Talking About

    I've got custom break cues, production break cues, shafts made for the break, tried different tips, weights, etc, etc, etc. I've tried it all.

    This Is What I'm Talking About

    I have been for 20+ years. But no matter what I do, 90% of the time or more I don't have any luck. That's why I keep saying I might need an exorcism.

    This Is What I'm Talking About

    I hope this makes sense. Pocketed the 2B which was almost straight. That left me an angle on the 3B to stun over for position on the 4B. I just came up one rail from the 4B to get position on the 5B. This was the key shot. I had to get the right angle on the 5B so I could simple roll up for...

    Optimistic Posters

    I get more hassle than anybody on here. Almost always, no matter what I post, some poster(s) will crap on it and me. Yes, I wish it would stop. People have left AZB over the years because of this. But I am still here. And I ran a couple of racks of 9B tonight on my new Diamond Professional...

    This Is What I'm Talking About

    Had the right angle on the 4B so I went straight up table for the 5B. Got the angle I wanted on the 5B and then to the 6B was easy.

    This Is What I'm Talking About

    I keep talking about having a runnable rack. Tonight I went back over to the garage apartment to see if the new light bulbs would make things better and brighter. Was a small improvement. Anyway, I broke about a dozen racks and never had a chance. Then finally I got this spread and ran out...

    Shoes

    Not really interested in shoes that are comfortable. More interested in shoes that give you a firm foundation, that won't slide on various flooring.

    Shoes

    Anybody have special shoes you wear when you play? My Diamond Professional is in my upstairs garage apartment and it's got that vinyl plank flooring. If I have to lean a little bit to reach a shot my feet will, at times, slip a little. Just wondering if anyone uses special shoes for various...
