Good to know, Joey. Thank you.
It's nothing compared to Glenn's glue revenue, but it just might be crazy enough to work!
Diamond is using it on all their tables!
SO AM I. Just got these 2 gallons delivered today!
Finally, a way to pay him back for the hundreds of hours on the phone! Switching from staples to adhesive on ALL commercial tables and not just Diamonds.
Much respect to Glen for GOING FOR IT AN MAKING IT HAPPEN!!!!!

This figure is meaningless without knowing the associated production costs. I've no real interest in the answer though. Having a market with multiple options befefits consumers for sure. The only three options for serious pool players right now are the GC, the diamond pro, and the diamond pro am.

Why are Rasson and Gabriel not considered to be an option for serious pool players?
Thank you,
C&A :smile:

Rasson's are still pretty new to the scene and Gabriels are just hard to get. Diamonds and GC are just the default tables, at least in the U.S. In Europe you see a lot of Dynamics which are a Chinese GC clone. You live in Canada? Do you see very many Black Crowns? Pretty popular table up there.
Should have mentioned that those three are the only options for US based players. When I shopped around for my table, I looked at the GC, Diamond Pro/pro am, and Gabriels. I gave up pretty quickly on the Gabriels option having failed to find anywhere to get one, nor could I even find anyone in the industry to even talk to about one. Maybe the situation is different now???
I've also heard decent things about Kim Steel pool tables. I played on a couple over the years, but never found an dealer for those in the US either.
They had em in Denver at Shakespears. Nothing special, allot of metal everywhere. They didn't play ''right''.
I tested a Kim Steel in the late 90s in Baltimore for a friend...he was thinking of putting
2 in his room up here ‘cause nobody else had them.
...it was springtime so the room played a little damp.
..the standard three rail kick played almost two diamonds short......
...I told him not to buy....I think the rail height was too low.

Dooly's uses Black Crown. When I was young there were many pool halls in my city; now many have closed. What is the status of pool in North America is it increasing or decreasing in popularity? I know golf and bowling are on the decline, Millennials are not interested in them.

Have you ever played on Rasson or Gabriel table?
To me, Gabriel table play pretty good when set up correctly. Then again, almost any table can play good if set up correctly.
On the other hand, Rasson tables ....IMO..... are like a lot of tables and still have design flaws.
To me, the biggest Rasson flaw is the way the pockets accept badly hit balls even at greater than pocket speeds. Lots of people think it's just their corner pockets....nope, their side pockets do the same. They play extremely easy compared to most any properly set up diamond or GC.

Very nice place!!!
Here is a room with 9' 9' GC3's that will not leave anything on your clothes or tear them!!!
MissCue South in Toledo.
9- 9' GC3's completely restored. The tables were installed brand new in 1991. They came out awesome. All of them look and play the same. I worked very hard to make sure that everything is very consistent.
Here's what went down:
Silver Vein Powder Coating on all metal trim, Strip/sand refinished all wood in Red Mahogany & clear satin poly. New Superspeed Cushions with corners at 141 and sides 102. 3/16" 60 durometer Neoprene pocket facings. It is a recreational room so the pockets are generous 4" 7/8" corners and 5" 3/8" sides. Championship Mercury Ultra Woven, New gully return boots.
If any of you are ever in Toledo or coming through, get in touch and lets shoot some racks!

They had kim steel tables in the Roanoke, va room and I thought they played very well, though th pockets were pretty large, iirc. Easy-e could probably offer more on those.
Might even find some forum members playing on them, up in hrrrrre:
