    Diamond Professional 8' Questions

    Feel free to post more pics of yours here. Do you have a thread on building the light? 3 piece slate or 1 piece?

    Diamond Professional 8' Questions

    Leaning towards maple in Rosewood finish like this one. Not sure I want the Diamond engraved logo. Big fan of the brute strength of oak but its very open grained when flat sawn and I'd prefer the smoothness of maple for the rails even though its more likely to get dinged.

    Diamond Professional 8' Questions

    I'm pretty sure I can manage it. Plus what if @realkingcobra wins the lotto tomorrow? I'll be on my own. ;)

    Ordering a Diamond Professional - Questions

    I'm about to order a Diamond 8' Professional and have a few questions. @realkingcobra thoughts? 1. Does anyone have a link to the Diamond Professional assembly/service manual? I read a reference to a PDF in a thread but found nothing on Diamond's site or anywhere. 2. Round vs 45 degree rail...

    She threw him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face, then he crawled away beaten, bravo!

    Diamond Professional - Tools required to disassemble?

    Jetting up the highway today to purchase a 1998 9' Diamond Professional. RCK was going to pick it up and haul it for me in a few weeks but since I'm making the trip to pay the owner maybe I'll just haul it back in one trip. Likely stuff it in a 12 foot UHaul. Any special tools required? I'll be...

    GC III Cracked Slate - Repairable?

    I pounced on that Diamond professional deal. The GCIII is now gone from my sight picked up today. A big thank you to @realkingcobra just a super nice guy. I owe him big time for locating the Diamond for me. I'll give you one guess as to who will be doing the setup, re-cloth and leveling. This...

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    I see it, that's going to be 47 feet of trimming how annoying.

    GC III Cracked Slate - Repairable?

    Spokane interesting that's only 362 miles I'm just north of Vancouver, WA. I'll give you a call shortly. My concern with a Diamond is they don't seem to have anyone in this area experienced with the professional.

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    Much easier to install, details on that? Just curious, I'm recovering a Brunswick Ventura II so I'll be using the Brunswick cushions. Extending the rails to tighten the pockets. Maybe beef up the Ventura's sparse frame. Also thank you for your many posts. I'm a total noob at table setup and...

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    I spoke with pooldawg just now, they apologized for the snafu. Seemed surprised they even stock those cushions and a head scratcher over how the order got messed up. No worries I'll have the Brunswick Super Speed's by Thursday they are shipping them out today.

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    Sure maybe a honest mistake but at $54 for 2nd day air and setting my project back at least a week that was annoying.

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    I finally found the MBS K55's for sale. It looks like Pooldawg tried to pull the old switcharoo on me. I paid them $169.95 for Brunswick Super Speeds and they shipped me cheaper $86.95 MBS cushions. That won't fly.

    Brunswick Super Speed vs MBS Championship?

    I ordered a set of Brunswick Super Speed cushions from Pooldawg. Here's the photo from their site. Instead Pooldawg shipped me these MBS Group Championship cushions. I'm returning these but curious if they are the same or lesser quality than the Brunswick.

    tightened gold crown

    Wouldn't it be easier to add 1/4" of shelf vs mucking with the rails? The pocket is still plenty large enough for the ball to drop. I could knock that out with my 3D printer.

    GC III Cracked Slate - Repairable?

    I called Diamond ready to purchase their Professional. I liked the heavy duty construction and slate leveling system I saw in this video. They seemed less than motivated to sell me one. Asked if they had a dealer or mechanic in the Portland, OR area and gave them all my contact info. They...

    GC III Cracked Slate - Repairable?

    Update: I decided to take a Brunswick Ventura II the seller has which is in much better shape. An 8 foot table which if I'm honest actually fits in my house. The beast of a 9 foot GC barely fit with some areas being cramped for rail shots. Found a thread on the forum where a guy beefed up his...

    GC III Cracked Slate - Repairable?

    Seems to be going fine. Seller swears he was unaware of the cracked slate, no resistance to returning the table. Did offer to fine me another set of slates but I declined.
