OMG...the horror. How can pro players be subjected to playing on this cruel and unusual equipment.
That is all
Why don't you like Valley bar tables
I played on a Valley last night, believe it or not, it IS possible to miss a ball on one. I was shocked considering nobody on AZB has ever done that :sorry:
They are very very forgiving tables and it messes up my game on other tables. When you hit the rail two diamonds down and still make a ball in the corner pocket did you actually make the ball?
I have no issue with them. This was just to mess with everyone *****ing about some of the regional BCA tournaments not being played on Diamonds..like they are the standard or something
I would be surprised that a pro or others have run more consecutive racks on a Valley than a Diamond. The Diamond is prettier and a higher quallity table IMO but not easier. The huge side pockets on the Diamond bar box makes up for the generous corner pockets on the Valley. Given a choice I would choose to play on the Diamond primarily to get away from the metal around the Valley's pockets. Can really ding your cue stick.
You say whats wrong with a valley? When i go to watch a match online, I dont watch some tournament played on a valley. Maybe I am spoiled but here in the Northwest pool players never have to play on one, so we dont
I love Valley tables. While I couldn't disagree with some of the negative things people say about them, I would argue that those things are exactly what makes them so fun. I don't buy into the thought that any one table can ruin your game... that's an excuse, imo. Inanimate objects don't have that power, but they can enable tendencies such as laziness, lack of focus, or just poor fundamentals.
or a false sense of ability when shots our badly missed but roll right in....I have a valley but the pockets were made to play tighter and it made it a much better piece of equipment
As easy as these Valley bar tables are I cant believe there hasn't been multiple 21 packs ran so far. Sigh. AZB is full of world champions. The same guys what win on Diamonds win on Valleys. I keep waiting for one of the AZB world champions to break out and take down the White Diamond Cash. Being as though its played on " Any body can run out Valley bar boxes " also.
The guys at West State Billiards in Fullerton made the Valley I bought from them quite challenging- to my liking as a practice table. They tightened up the pockets so that 2 balls won't fit. If you don't concentrate, you will miss.
Are the pockets for the Valleys for the Smoking Aces tourney standard such that 2 and 1/2 balls fit? If so, that is way too easy for pros and makes me wonder why a tourney with so much money in it would be played on such equipment

The biggest package so far has been 5. I guess they aren't as easy as some think.

I thought Warren Kiamco ran 6?

Get used to pros playing on Valley's as there will be less and less 9' tournaments and a lot more 7' tournaments. There is way more places with enough Valley 7 footers to hold decent size tournaments on than there is Diamonds. Make the Valley 4 1/4" corners with pro cut rails and they play pretty darn good. If you don't cover a Diamond when needed, new rails when needed and kept level all the time, you have a 4k-5k POS like a Valley that's not taken care of. Johnnyt
Already a bunch of talk about having another one of these in December.
WOW! This is really taking off! Good job, www.poolactiontv.com
