Diamond Ball Return...??

[Jagr Fan]

Re: 2024 International Open 9-ball
I've noticed that, when a player scratches, the cue ball is directed to the collection tray at the head of the Diamond 9' table.
What mechanism is Diamond using to direct the cue ball to the head of the table...?? Is it the same or different from
their barbox tables...??

The smart table uses a optical sensor to separate out the cb.

At the bar we play masters at we use a different set of balls for leagues the table seems to get confused by the cue ball lol sometimes it goes to the head of the table sometimes the foot lol you never know

We have 10 d'mond bb's at Magoo's and all spit the cb into the ballbox end and not the head end. Way faster.

The new room in Palm Beach Gardens has 9’ smart tables. Playing 1P is a pain when waiting on the ball return to send you down the pocketed balls.

Optical density sensor. It needs to be adjusted to work properly. They can be picky about certain balls. The original manual calls for red circle cue balls only.
