My impression with Diamond is residential sales take a back seat to commercial. I would also guess that commercial/tournament is a more lucrative business anyway. Meanwhile I ordered a Brunswick GCV from my local dealer and it was installed two weeks later. Can’t imagine waiting 4-5 months...
I say if you have the space, and I really mean have the space (no obstacles, poles, furniture, bars, lamps, a spouse that hoards) then get the 9 footer.
It’s not the color of the balls on TV, it’s the commentators. We need more like Joe Wilson that could provide play by play AND color even when there was no color to be had.
As far as these new balls, they’re ugly and confusing. I don’t need to learn yet another set that fails in its own...
After a year of construction my man cave/pool room is basically complete. Just need to hang the light and finish the baseboard trim. And hang a window blind.
I’ve been eyeing the Brunswick website for months and months, and noticed the GC V and VI we’re offered simultaneously. I like the...
Exactly one year ago today we broke ground on a home game room for a pool table I’ve been wanting for three decades.
As an anniversary gift to myself, thought I’d start a blog showing the development.
Here’s the spot. We have a detached garage and the new space is built right behind it...
Thanks for the replies, I learned a little about Brunswick tables today.
It recently came up for sale and I just came back from looking at it. Not a bad table, but I’m really looking for a GC. Plus it was an oversized 8’. If it was 9’ foot I might have pulled the trigger...
Hello, can anyone identify this Brunswick model from this picture.
Looks to be a Gold Crown, but there are no side pocket castings. Could be another model maybe, originally price pointed lower than the GC?
It’s the only pic I have for now. Thanks
The wife and I finally are moving forward with building a 380 sq foot pool room connected to our detached garage. Really excited after 30 years without a table in my home.
I have a 4x8 Gandy Atlantan I purchased new in the late 80s with a little help from my parents and working way back when...
A good player should be able to play on anything. So dismissing an 8' table seems a bit short sighted in my opinion. I prefer a 9' but there's nothing wrong with an 8 footer as long as it doesn't have buckets on it.
Just wish the bar box would go away, but it's part of the billiard world I...
According to 'my fitness pal', a 40-year old sedintary man who is 5' 11" and weighs 220 pounds will burn 1250 calories playing pool for 5 hours. Not bad, but it's not the same as vigorously ridng a bike for the same amount of time.
I think the stretching and bending involved is the biggest...
May as well skip right to full 15-Ball rotation. I don't mean to be stupid, but what's the reason for 12-Ball? There's already 9 and 10-Ball anyway. Maybe I'm missing something.
For what it's worth, I've got a set of Aramtih Crowns for home use that are fine. The premiere and pro sets would be great to have, but with light use I've got no complaints whatsoever. I've seen the Crowns used heavily with minimal care in local halls, so if they can take that much abuse they...
