    Are Gold Crowns Still Being "Diamondized?"

    I remember back in the 80’s when I lived in the Valley, my friends would go to Oregon to spend some time there. People would tell them “go back where you came from”. Now you can’t tell any difference between California, Oregon, and Washington, at least not in the big population centers. Overall...

    UK Open 2025 Telford, UK, May 6-11

    Nice large field but seems low on pay outs. You’d need to be top 16 to make any money with travel expenses.

    Are Gold Crowns Still Being "Diamondized?"

    I can’t count how many times I’ve played on 4.5” pockets that when I hit the ball I said “missed that one” but some how it went in, “that never would have go in at Buffalo’s”.

    Diamond black label value?

    He’s actually correct about that old Red label. I consider them firewood myself.

    Are Gold Crowns Still Being "Diamondized?"

    No one in their right mind would diamondize a GC4. If you got a GC1-3, I would if the cushions needed replacing

    Red Label with Tournament Edition K55 cushions

    “the way the wood rail is cut”, I think they changed the angle of the wood where the cushion is glued, maybe even mounted the cushion upside down. Something is different

    Brunswick Royal Knight or Peter Vitale Loyd Nelson

    My wife wants me to get a furniture style table. I’d prefer a Diamond Professional but these two tables look real good. Anyone here have experience with the Royal Knight and Lord tables? How’s their build and play quality compare to a new Diamond?

    Current opinions of an old Gold Crown vs Fiamond

    Does the Arcade or Kling have the rail bolts go thru the slate?

    Diamond black label value?

    You can't buy a new Red label, but I'd say less than 3G's would be acceptable, but I'd be buying a blue top for it.

    Finally, something we agree on. Let's work on world peace now:)

    Current opinions of an old Gold Crown vs Fiamond

    Lets see. GC1-3, the score counters can or will scratch the cue butt. The rubber pockets will leave black runner streaks on your shaft. The rails will need work if you replace the cushions. Diamond Red label, rails need to be modified to blue specs or a new blue top. Diamond Blue label, plays...

    K55 & K66

    It’s my understanding that Diamondizing a table changes the cushions to Artemis and fixes the rail angle to correctly accommodate the new specification cushions. Also the pocket angles are changed to 141 degrees with the rail extensions. GC4 and newer only need the Artemis and rail extensions.

    Gold Crown VII - initial thoughts?

    Let's make the GC4 really ugly and call it a GC7. The aluminum rails might be the only improvement that I see.

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    The FR for 1P was added only 3 years ago, but I didn't know it jumped that much from 1P.

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    I wonder why Tony Chohan never gets any recognition for rotation games. His 779 FargoRate didn’t come from 1P. Doesn’t he play better than Wollford?

    issues with new olhausen tables

    Olhausen tables do not meet the current BCA, and probably other organization, specifications for pool tables. So, they are not within the rules.

    Table Preference Poll

    I find it surprising a 1P player prefers a ball return much less 4.5” corners. I prefer 4 1/4 or 4 1/8. I hate fishing out balls from the return and I keep forgetting to grab my balls from the ball box, so much easier to keep them in the corner packet as you make them. I don’t know any 1P...
