I thought the MC Rasson looked familiar...

Yep, I commented during the Mosconi Cup that the upper portion of the table (not the legs) was the identical design as the Murrey tables used for the final tournament scene in the Color of Money
If you're wearing light-colored pants, do they get a black streak at rail height?
I'm not sure, Bob....I've only played a few tournaments on them.
That problem on a GC was solved by some room owners by coating the aluminum
edge.
...and I tend to dress like a slob...if I fell into a ditch, nobody would notice the difference.
:embarrassed2:
Are you sure no one would say, "That ditch used to be a lot prettier.":grin:
While the Rasson tables rail design may not look pretty, they are well playing tables. I do like the legs, kind of elegant, but I've seen that leg design before too.
Personally I HATE the look of the Diamond Pro Ams. I guess I'm in the minority there. To me they look boxy and not attractive at all.
Brunswick GC..now that's a pretty table and the Centennials even more so.

The black Diamond Pr-Am/Smart tables are butt-ugly. They play great but are just not attractive. The rosewood finish is much better but still nowhere close to a GC/Anniv/Centennial.
I was in a card game once. Mostly friends playing, but one them was losing big and getting more and more agitated. We were drinking heavily, also. Anyway, the guy losing gets up from the table grabs a bottle of booze and loudly proclaims he's going home, slamming the door shut behind him. He had just a couple of minutes to walk, and this is in the middle of a city with only paved roads. 2 hours later he comes back, covered in mud from the shoes up to his neck. "I ran out booze half way, I'm going to need another bottle!"
I agree, the PRO-AMs are ugly. I assume its almost required to have a big boxy design in order to allow for quick setup at tournaments with the slate already in place. I think the Diamond professionals are attractive table but nothing compares to what Brunswick did with the Cent/Anni/ and GC
If Rasson were using the Artemis Intercontinental 66 rather than the pool 66, they would have something.... they are silly to put that cushion on tables that would normally have a k55 on them....

Lol ... now that's funny! You led with a glass jaw Paul.
Yeah, well, I’m still prettier than a Rasson, a Murray, or a Black Crown.
If I wanted to remodel one of those tables, the only thing I would keep is the slate.
I can give a Gandy the tie five in a beauty contest also.

No bet!
Of the modern tables I've seen, a cocobolo Diamond is my choice. It looks like that's no longer available, so maybe rosewood. I think metal on the rails is a design mistake.
The Diamond Paragon at the US Open 9-Ball (TV table) is interesting but too weird for a long-term relationship.
