I agree a 7 inch table seems awfully small.
CSI dumps Diamond for Predator tables
- Thread starter skip100
- Start date
I wouldn't look at a Predator table after the mess they had at some of the tournaments. If I was looking at a 9ft table it would be a Diamond or Rasson. Now a 7ft bar box , I wouldn't even consider one personally. The only bar boxes I've played on are Valley or Dynamo 8ft.
I know their not. I just said they look like one. They also look pretty much exactly like the ones Sam billiards already make under their own name. They could have atleast changed the looks a little.
True,but 4.5 pockets do make it easier.
There are other factors as to why they dont run out besides pocket size.
7 foot Diamonds play the same as 9 foot Diamonds.
4 inch pool pockets are much easier than a pyramid table t
You do know they have 10 or 11 nine foot tables used in the US Open
The AZ event was 9' tables. I wonder if the 7' tables are easier to install.
Yes. I meant those will not be changed. The pro tournaments listed that played on 9-footers will, as well as, the amateur CSI league tournaments.
Sounds like Predator working together with them on the Pro Billiard Series was enough to deepen their relationship. Maybe that’s a lesson to Diamond. You can’t just supply equipment. You have to get in bed with others in the industry at a significant level on the events side.
Also makes you wonder if Diamond is even in a fiscal position to throw themselves around the industry as a promoter like Predator does. This might have been a partnership born on the back of Revo/BKRush sales.

Interesting.
As others have said, the first taste of 9ft tables left a sour taste.
If the 7ft tables are easier to set up, they might be ok at pop-up tournaments.
I will have to see what my American friends say about how they play vs. The solid 7ft Diamonds as we won't be seeing one in Australia for a year or so, if ever based on who and what is here already.

It was coming for a long time?
As in the original owners of Diamond knew about this and overstated the value of their company before they sold it?
<——— not expecting an answer
Mark isn’t part of Diamond anymore.(well known fact)
Mark is a smart biz man
Predator has a strong marketing dept:
I believe a decision was made when CSI needed new tables.
It’s just biz for all concerned.
That’s what happened.
I don’t think anyone got hurt or it damaged pool in anyway at all. Just a transaction.
Best
Fatboy
I believe so . The slate is probably sourced elsewhere though. ( they use Brazilian slate I believe)

It’s a big improvement over Valley Bar Boxes. The question that pops into my mind is what’s the height of the rails?
IMO, that’s what makes Diamond tables different. In my experience, rails taller than the ball’s equator play different.
Correct
I really don't think they're going to come up with enough Tables by end of February for the BCA World Championships in Vegas. How many tables do they normally have there? 300?
The depth of the shelf and pocket angle would be interesting to know as well.
yes. slate is imported if course. maybe the cushions too,
