Well i guess more and more i see tournaments and pool rooms filling up with more and more diamonds. But what is it about diamonds that everyone loves?
Is it really about the true banking?
I feel like on a Gold Crown you have to play the table for what it is, figure out the knick knack spots where you cant hit the ball soft, where the ball drifts. And granted these are all down falls to the table but you have to know that specific table and out run the nuts. Didn't Efren run around the US beating everybody on probably some pretty tough equipment where the tables played like that?
On a diamond it just feels like as soon as your dialed in, all the banks are dead. Obviously not dead because you still have to make it but all you have to look at is the angle in and the angle out and you made the bank.
Maybe its just that Diamond does do more for the common pool player than Brunswick.
Maybe im just ranting but why is it we are all going from a Gold Crown which was a good table that you had to know how to play on, to a Diamond where the work feels so much easier when your dialed.
