3/8" facings will yield 4.125" corners. My buddy's table has 4.25" corners. Mine has 4.125" corners. The difference is noticeable with my table being much tougher.

I understand the math. Have you found 5/16" thick neoprene in the appropriate hardness? Again, I'd go 50 Durometer vs the standard 60. If you spoke to someone at Diamond and they provided you with the info, ask if they will sell you the 5/16" facings, either precut or the raw material.

Good point...lol!

Does anyone know when the semi finals and finals will be played? The Matchroom Pool website only lists TBD. Just curious if this is supposed to wrap up tomorrow or Sunday.

It's 1/4" (4.375"), 3/8" (4.125") or bust. If you are planning go 3/8" I recommend you go softer than 60 Durometer. Standard 316" facings are 60 Durometer and you are planning to double the thickness. At 3/8" and 60 Durometer, the pockets will most likely play dead.

To all the keyboard warriors knocking Dr. Dave's TDF: You are more than welcome to create your own scale to determine table difficulty. I'm sure it too won't be perfect. A 5 year old can complain and poke holes. Until you develop a solution to your criticism, STFU.

AirPlay works flawlessly for me.

Or the pockets are cut at 135°.

Last time I respond here. Diamond calls it “Pro Cut” because 4.5” pockets were the norm on Diamonds for professional play prior to Matchroom. There’s nothing special about the way they are cut (geometry). I’m out!

Curious. Do you break regularly when you play on your table?

It will rattle on tables with pockets cut too wide. It will rattle on most Olhausen tables with stock cut pockets.

Line up 3 balls frozen to each other and the rail just past the side pocket. Hit the cue ball at break speed. The 3rd ball will drop, at break speed along the rail. This of course is assuming no one has altered the pockets from the factory cut or stacked any facings.

Thanks. Good point.

Can't do that! The light might fade it!

"Facings favor spitting the ball out rather than letting the ball drop" No, I do not work for Diamond. In fact, I'm a Gold Crown guy. I'm just not a fan of misinformation.
