An average player has a better chance of being good, or even one day being great but, only after he is taken in by someone that knows what's up.

Yeah, I guess they do kinda go hand in hand.

If you wanna discuss it further get in touch. I cannot advertise my pricing, but, like I said my prices are very competitive. Thanks

The beat to death last decade topic of Diamond or Bwick tables is a topic I thought I’d never mention again-10 years ago. Yet here we go again....
I like Diamond as a company and I can call the owner or guy who designed their tables anytime I want and talk to them. That’s pretty solid and great biz. Diamond is a better company from that perspective for me anyways. And they are assembled in America which is cool, parts sourced from all over the world like anything. They have their share of internal drama over the years like any business. Of course that’s private and ends here. They are a solid company and will continue to be-that’s very certain. They solve their problems and move forward.
I like GC’s better tho. I don’t like Bwick the company so much. It’s a huge public company with a billiards division. I had a contact there and used to buy direct from Bwick (they were breaking their own rules) but that is long in the past and I can mention it now. I never exploited that opportunity like I could have-meaning buying more and selling more product. I had better ways to make $ and it was too small. Kinda got side tracked here.
Anyways my point is I like Diamond as a company better and I like GC’s as a table to play on better. Assuming they are both properly installed.
Diamond has a better quality product overall. But for my taste I like playing on GC’s more given the choice between tables.
One last note anyone spending $10K on a new GC has lost their mind. But that’s another topic.
I think I drank too much coffee I’m scattered today j/k

Diamond Pro, Pro Am or Brunswick GC6 are not very far off in price. Not many things in life you can keep and use your ENTIRE life. That to me means it is worth the price.
I cannot even have one cup of coffee and if I do I would be BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS!!!
Trent from Toledo
Not even close in resale value if one ever needs to sell after buying new.
Not to mention, the cheapest of those mentioned to manufacturer, is also the most expensive to buy new.
Unfortunately least cost combination economics are a reality.
MSRP does not mean there is no wiggle room= just can't advertise it.
Factory Direct = No less than the factory.
Trent from Toledo:thumbup:
There's a big difference between the perception of value, and real value, and resale brings about the realities of the truth. There are lots of GC's in storage, wishing they could be sold, while most looking, wish they could find a Diamond used at a cheaper price.
Just think how much more affordable diamonds could be if they were manufactured by YALIN and assembled here. They could easily make those tables
Trent from Toledo
Glen,
I have tried to explain to Trent how much difference the cloth makes.
TrentFromToledo just doesn't seem to want any info from people with more Pool ability and experience so I just gave up.

I play on Simonis cloth all the time on Pro Cut pockets. Worsted wool is far faster than napped felt. I understand what you said about trying to get shape on the old napped felt. Common knowledge. Whats your point?
Trent
P.s. not to mention we were not even talking about cloth or how it plays, so really, help me understand how what you just posted has anything to do with what we were talking about ?
P.s.s Are you going to continue to try and tell me how Pro Cut Pockets have no place in pool as well?

I wonder what would happen if YALIN bought the design rights to the Brunswick Anniversaries and Centennial's, and produced the same tables today for half of what you sell them for, but new. You think customers would jump on them instead of buying tables from you?
Bill is right, the Steven's 22oz Superweave was, and still would be my first choice of cloth the play on today. Only thing is, you've never played on it to know the difference. Speed isn't all its cracked up to be, cue ball control and the ability to spin the cue ball far outweigh speed.
That’s a pathetic fallacy!
If you google ‘pathetic fallacy’...you wont’t be mad...
All of what you said means about nothing since Simonis is the standard. I think you said that cloth is not even made anymore. So talking about something that is not in existence when you are trying to make a point: makes ZERO sense.
Trent
Not gonna argue with either of you. You are just bored.
That’s a pathetic fallacy!

I hear ya buddy, but I know of a 112 GC1s in storage with just one person, and lots of them in other areas as well, all of them wishing they could be what they use to be.
