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

I just checked with Diamond Billiards about ordering a Professional table. Delivery time is 4-6 months. Had no idea it would be that long. Are they that busy? I guess they must be. I should probably check with my renters now to see if they want to renew for 2026. If not I had better get...

I do not have a ball cleaning machine. I had my balls cleaned once at a billiards store that used a machine and I didn't think it was done very good. So when I clean my balls I use some Aramith Ball Cleaner and put a light coat on the balls. Then after I get all the balls coated I take a dry...

I was watching a match last night from the 1999 US Open between Jim Rempe and Francisco Bustamante. Grady Mathews and Mark Wilson were commentating. There was something that I found odd. Maybe it's of no significance, who knows. Anyway, they were playing on Gold Crown IV tables. But the...

https://pad.chalkysticks.com/44547.png This is a very tough shot for me. I think I've asked about this shot years ago but I couldn't find the thread. Anyway, anybody have any tips on how to pocket the 1B and draw the CB back for the 2B in the corner? And please, let's assume this is the only...

When did the Sands Regency in Reno and the US Open switch from the Gold Crown table to the Diamond table? And yes, I know at times the Sands Regency tournament was played on the AMF Advantage table. Which, of course, was a Gold Crown copycat. I believe the US Open switched starting in 2001...

As some will recall in a previous thread I was going to drive down to Evansville to the Washington Square Mall and play on their Diamond tables. I wanted to see how they compared to my Gold Crown IV. Well, I finally made it to Evansville today. And what a waste of time. I couldn't have been...

I have a small piece of standard Simonis Green 860. It's very dark. I've used it to practice jumping before but really haven't used it for years. So today I pulled out from under my Gold Crown IV a little storage thing that I keep some stuff in. I hadn't looked at it in probably 3-4 years...

Around what year was it? I assume it was during the 1980s at some point. Just curious. r/DCP

Speaking of pocket size............. They played this match on a GCIII with 5 inch pockets. Grady Mathews mentioned how they were 5 inch pockets. And then he called them tight pockets. I couldn't believe how big they were, almost buckets! Was this the norm for tournaments back around 1990...

I've seen this advertised regarding Diamond tables. I believe what I saw said 4.5" Pro Cut Pockets. What exactly does "Pro Cut Pockets" mean?
