Its Black PRC (Phenolic Resin Composite)
Yes, 3-piece slate as it had to go down basement stairs. Actually, the entire table had to be disassembled in the garage, as the basement has a bend in the stairs, and it had to go down piece by piece. It's a Pro-Am.
Thanks. No, my son plays guitar, yeah, you can see his amps. He's in Austria for a semester and I added some posters you can kind of see with his fav guitarists.

Take it, it''s yours. I saw it on Facebook where a guy painted a basic house cue type design. I thought it was cool, but decided to go full out and copy my exact cue and add the Magic Chalk..
I have a Willie Hoppe Pro Model that was refinished, and I added white linen with green speck to the cue, thus why the post has white linen instead of black leather as they come with. The chalk cube was the hard part. But, I have no artistic talents at all, so it's a lot harder for a guy like me
lol Took a LOT more time that I would have thought it would Measure, tape, let dry, tape again, let dry, etc etc.

I remember thinking when you mentioned 'new diamond table', you were a 9ft kind of guy.... Looks like a 7ft to me....unless its the pic or my bad eyes...
Yeah, I was a 9 foot guy.... I just downsized. Smaller house, not enough room for a 9 footer in the new house. I left the 9 footer at my old house. The old basement was 4 times bigger

More and more players are going to bar boxes.
I've thought about spending time on bar boxes since most all amateur tournaments are on toy tables. Not to mention, it's much easier to get action on 7' tables, much easier, especially in rooms that are big on leagues.
Add to that, some people change over due to problems with eye sight or even back problems. I know I can physically play much longer on a 7' table compared to a 9' table, due to not having to stretch for the cb.
Last but certainly not least, some people don't have space for a 9' table and as we all know, any table is better than no table.

Had to paint a post that was nearby, decided to make it "pool" related
Congrats on the new table and the pool room--that post is one of the best ideas ever--an homage to magic chalk.
Yup,ACS on 7 foot diamonds, the other is on 9 foot gold crowns, but I'm phasing out the 9 foot league... just too far to drive.
Very nice, the one regret I have about relocating to southern AZ is that it's almost impossible to find a house most people can afford with room for a pool table. I do miss my old Anniversary that I had in IL.
That's a great set-up, very nice.
