It plays really awesome. The majority of my play is on a barbox, but I really wanted a quality 9' table to get into straight pool a little more, but ultimately just have a quality table to shoot on in general. I haven't shot on or seen a barbox since last Wednesday, so I'm excited for league tonight to see the transition from going from a 9' down to a 7'.
The current conditions aren't perfect, as there is a pole in a pretty bad spot in the basement. The two end rails, one side rail, and half of the other side rail are open. There are two poles very much in the way on half of the side rail. It's in a temporary location till I build a new house... hopefully in a year or two. I will say that having this beautiful and nice playing of a table is quite the motivation to move forward and find a lot and start the building process.
The set up went really well. I was surprised at how easy Dave and I were able to get everything level. He said it was a pleasure to work with such a quality table, as he had never set up a Diamond Professional. He was an awesome guy to have work on the table. You also get to hear some pretty good stories when you spend an afternoon with him.
I have a couple pics. The camera on my iPhone is kinda messed up since the back of the phone is shattered. I'll upload them in a little bit when I leave the office.
