Now that my new Diamond Professional is about a month away from delivery I am wondering where I can get some of those little Simonis stickers to put on it? I think they come in two different sizes. Anybody know where they are sold? Or should I just contact Simonis up near Chicago? r/DCP

It's now been three months since I ordered my Diamond Professional table. I was told 4-6 months for delivery. I was also told there's a chance it could be a little less than that. So, I guess it's about time I started to prepare my upstairs garage apartment for the new table. I need to get...

I normally don't make any New Years Resolutions but I think I am going to this year. And that is to not break any more racks of 9B on my Gold Crown IV. I am just sick of all of this. I just broke 26 times (2026) and only had one really good chance to run out. I am going to do nothing but...

I believe I read awhile back that years ago, down around Shreveport, Buddy Hall practiced one shot all day long at a pool hall. One shot. The same shot. All day long. For hours and hours. Thoughts on this posters? There are thousands of shots that are possible on a pool table. Unless it...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/bb8c9.png How often can you posters run out these balls? No set pattern to play these, just however you wish. It took me 7 tries to get it out the first time. I thought it wouldn't be that difficult and I'd get it the first 2-3 times. Guess that shows what I...

What is everybody getting for Christmas with regards to pool related stuff? Yes, yes, I know. You might not know yet since it's not Christmas Day yet. But does anybody have a wish list, or already bought stuff, etc, etc? My Christmas comes in the February/March time frame when my new 9-foot...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/7590c.png Had this spread earlier today. The CB is almost on the rail and it would extremely difficult to try and use inside english to hold the 1B for the corner next to it. Plus the 8B blocks the far corner. How do you posters play this? r/DCP

It's now been two months since I ordered my new Diamond Professional table. About time to contact Diamond again for an update. Probably just drop them an email or give them a call. Then again, I might just drive down to the factory. Any of you posters have a recommendation? r/DCP

Speaking of really good pool players that aren't professionals........ Anybody remember a guy from around Louisville years ago by the name of Brian Roberts? A buddy of mine that is now deceased told me he was the best shooter in Louisville and was right up there with Nick Varner in terms of...

Has anybody had any experience in shooting over/across a template? From what I have seen in tournaments if a template is used it is automatically removed from the table after the break. But does anybody ever just leave the template on the table and shoot over/across it when playing? Even if...

Question regarding shims. Do all tables have shims? Or do some tables just have the rubber cushions and the cloth goes over it? In other words if you order a table - Olhausen, Brunswick, Diamond, etc - will it come with shims? Or just the rubber, whether it be Accu-Fast, SuperSpeed, or...

It's been six weeks since I ordered the Diamond Professional table. I wonder if they have any kind of update for me? Maybe I should just drive down and talk with them? Thanksgiving is next week and then Christmas is right behind it. r/DCP

There's always alot of talk about what size the corner pockets are but I am just wondering here. Are side pockets always 1/2" wider than the corner pockets? Or is it normal for a table with 4" or 4 1/8" or 4 1/4" corner pockets to still have 5" side pockets? A long time ago I had a very good...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/da505.png As some of you read on the 106 Breaks & 7 Chances thread I attempted to slow roll the 6B up about 8-10 inches the other night and missed it to the right. So, tonight, I attempted a drill for slow rolling as shown in the diagram above. And every time I...

I am having a hard time finding info on the new Gold Crown VII. On the Brunswick Billiards website it only shows the Gold Crown VI. Anybody know where I can get more info regarding the Gold Crown VII? And yes, I know what everyone is thinking. I already have the Gold Crown IV and also have a...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/f9792.png This is my latest nemesis shot. I can't seem to make this shot - period. It doesn't matter if I am using high, low, left, etc, etc. I just can't seem to make this shot nowadays. Missing this shot has cost me some runouts when I am practicing. Can any...

I was watching my DVD of the match between Efren and Earl back in 1995 when Efren made his famous Z-shot. My question is what table were they playing that match on? Was it a Gold Crown 3? Or was it the Advantage table made by AMF that is a Gold Crown look-alike? r/DCP

It's been three weeks since I ordered the new Diamond Professional. I assume by now they will have an update for me. It's too late this afternoon to check with them so I guess I will wait until tomorrow. r/DCP

I'm looking for a pool table light for the new Diamond Professional. The table will be a 9-footer so the light needs to be at least a four fixture light. The one I have on my Gold Crown IV is about 5 1/2 feet long. It works just fine. Most of the ones I see anymore are only about 4 feet...

Just got off the phone with the Diamond factory down near Louisville. Ordered the new Diamond Professional today. Oak/Cherry. Leg style #2. Diamond routed into all four rails in black. Standard Simonis Green 860. r/DCP
