I played The Miz once in 1972. It was a student exhibition at The University of Michigan. I had never seen a professional pool player at that point and I had no idea what was in store for me. Mr. Mizerak came up to me before the match and introduced himself and then apologized for beating me! We...

The most common table we use is the Rosewood Dymondwood. Occasionally we will have a different table for the finals, such as Golden Oak Dymondwood.

Diamond Professional Let me clear this up. Diamond makes 3 commercial grade tables: The Diamond Professional, The Pro-Am, and The Smart Table. The Diamond Professional is available in many different types of wood. The first table pictured shows the table in maple with a cherry stain. The second...

That was a standard maple table with a clear coat. There were ebony outlines around the sights on the rails. The Diamond logo routed into the skirt was filled withblack epoxy.

Update on DCC Hotel As of today, The Executive Inn West still has hotel rooms for every night except Thursday and Friday January 12 and 13. In the past, many people have booked rooms for the entire duration of the event. Then they decided to cut their stay short. So, it is very likely that even...

Hotel at the DCC The Executive Inn is actually a sponsor of the Derby City Classic. We should all plan to stay there if possible to support them as a tournament sponsor. This years tournament is expanding to the use of the Executive Inn across the street from the Executive West.This has...

Balls are easy to retrieve from a Diamond Smart Table The opening to hold the rack at the end of a Diamond Smart Table gives access to the ball return. Merely take a house cue and rake your ball to the center of the table and it will come right out. The usual culprit is a piece of chalk...

My Picks 9 Ball Banks Brian Gregg One Pocket Efren Reyes 9 Ball Alex Pagulayan All Around Efren Reyes Dark Horse Dee Adkins This is a tough tourney to pick because the races are short (many upsets).

It is almost time for the 8th annual Derby City Classic. At Diamond Billiard Products, we have been trying to get in contact with Larry Price. In 2002 he was the winner of our bank tournament at the DCC. Unfortunately, we not have a picture of him to use for our past champions banner. If anyone...

Dangerous Player I define a dangerous player as someone that finds a way to win when they are playing poorly. Everyone has days when everything that they look at goes right in. Sixty percent of the time we play our normal game. The remainder of the time we play poorly. The weak player just...

I think leagues cater to the weaker players. It is a matter of numbers. In the APA for example, 60 to 70% of the players are the 2, 3 and 4 rated players. So, the majority of the money that is taken in by the leagues comes from these players. I decided to combat the apathy by picking a location...

I completely agree. I saw Jimmy Caras give an exhibition at the University of Michigan Student Union in 1972. He was great.....great player and very engaging personality. He played a stright pool match there and he lagged for the break leaving the cueball less than a quarter inch from the end...

1. Efren Reyes 2. Alex Pagulayan 3. John Schmidt 4. Mike Sigel 5. Charles Bryant However, the list is not as important as the equipment they play on. The specifications of the pocket (opening width and angle) will determine whether a record like that is attainable or not. If Mosconi did this on...

I agree with you completely Grady. Pro pool tournaments should be played on equipment with standards that are strict but fair. Diamond Pro Cut pockets are compatible with that philosophy, tight but fair. In pool, the 7 foot table should be like playing golf from the white tees. In other words...

I agree that the pockets are too loose. Most tables today have 5" pocket openings. The Diamond Billiards Pro Cut pockets have an opening of 4 9/16". This was arrived at from feedback of the professional players. Then Diamond went one step further and made a specification for the angle of the...

Diamond Billiard Products has pushed for pocket specifications for years. In the first case, shimming is a bad fix to the problem. It results in the table playing phony (balls not going that should.) If you desire to practice on a tight table, play some snooker. That will force you to...
