Forgive me. I'm not overly experienced in the various tables out in the wild. Is there a Brunswick model..? I thought that was merely their manufacturer moniker. Like Gold Crown is a brunswick model.
Best table...

unfortunately prices vary based on where you are on the planet. What it's costs me to get my hands on a Diamond is likely different then you.
If I remember right your in Canada as well correct? I've priced them all out of Ontario or Quebec as that is the closest dealers for any of them to NB
9ft diamond pro am in oak walnut with 4inch pockets and tournament blue Simonis
1 piece slate
I’m actually seriously considering it since I started playing on one like this a lot recently and LOVE IT
Just not sure on how long it’ll take since I hear mixed reports

Huge first preference if new: Brunswick Gold Crown 6. Factory standard pockets (5"), not the tournament edition pockets (4.5").
Careful with a Diamond in Atlanta. Go to Mr Cues 2 they have two of them. Play on them, then go play on the GC's 6 feet away from them. The rails bounce completely different. I personally hate the way the Diamond's bounce.
Second choice if new I'd go Predator or the Mr Sung Rassons that are in Shaw's room.
If used, I'd get any Gold Crown ever made.
I wouldn't take a Diamond if it was given to me for free.

Last quote I got from Mark was $40 for his Centennial. He must be real busy to toss out that price.
Can’t go wrong with a GoldcCrown or Diamond The installer is everything. Research the mechanics that might set you up
Absolutely correct!!!!!!!
I mean when Roberto is at bogies like is his often
He plays on the diamond before the goldcrown
He plays on the diamond before the goldcrown
I agree. I HATE the way any diamond plays and yes I’ve owned one.
Yes sir... Central Ontario.
Wellington and gold crown Brunswicks.
Wellington was an antique model, t-rail bolts. Not great and better than no table.
Unfortunately for me. The closest room that hosts tourney's that entertain my rating is full of diamonds. It's like spotting the locals the wild 8 when I head down that way to compete.
Not that I want a diamond, but if I ever wanted to really take a run at being competitive I'd have to buy one.
Me too. No interest in anything diamond

Pretty much almost the same here
That's why I got mine.
Tuff to be competitive when your game drops 10-15% right off the bat.
And I haven't played 3 tournaments since I got it 2 yrs ago. D'oh.
I actually think that's how they became popular. First it was a bandwagon that they are tough (true) and real players had to have them. Then once they became more prevalent in commercial rooms, the private buyers had to buy them to be able to compete.
Let's stop the cycle of madness. Their rails suck.

The diamond ones at cues have them tiny pockets. Kennesaw billiards I know has 8s. They play awesome. I forget if they have diamond 9s. I think they do.
Went from 25 to 40 .. made my Diamond play and look much better
Blue labels play fine. Jeez. How long are people going to complain about this. Last one i played on (9ft. Pro w/ANDY 988) played fantastic. Look, my local spot has 10 nice GC4's and i like them a lot but i have zero adjustment issues on that table.
