Well, that's not entirely true Frank....
You told me that people sometimes don't like playing you on your table because it's a little too tough for them and you kill them on it. I'm just playing with you Frank. I know that Ernesto does top notch work and it just doesn't do someone any good to try and bad mouth his work. That would be like me coming on and saying "Well, why does everyone come on here and talk about how good "fill in the blank" is, I can play good too and no one ever comes on says how good I play.....". It just doesn't sound right whether it's true or not....

actually have you heard of Descartes????
If you had heard of Descartes, one of the greatest philosophers ever, then you would know that there are no scientific facts and there is only one true fact. "You exist". All other supposed facts are possibly only constructs of your consciousness.

There you go again.....
Quit thinking that because someone compliments someone other than you that they are knocking you. That isn't the case. It's like you think that a compliment to someone else requires that they compliment you or you will knock that other person to make up for the percieved insult. quit while you're behind man.... WOWWWW!!!!

I haven't had 2 weeks off work since June 1995, when I first started designing my line of coin-operated pool tablesWhich lead to the Diamond Smart tables, which lead to the Diamond ProAms, which lead to all the tournaments played on Diamond Smart Tables and Diamond ProAms. Before you say anything, the tables came before the tournaments, I just consulted Diamond for 7 months on how to design, build, and recover the slates on the tables

And according to The Matrix maybe we don't exist either. Maybe you are simply a construct of someone else's mind.

The fact is that if I like the table I am playing on then I play great - if I don't it's all the table's fault.
well you have to exist for you....
You see his famous quote, "I think therefore I am" is a statement of just that. I can only KNOW that I exist and you can only KNOW that YOU exist. That is all that can be known by any ONE person for an absolute fact. You can't be a construct of someone else's consciousness because YOU think. Your body doesn't have to exist, but your consciousness does. So YOU exist, even if you're only a constuct of a higher consciousness becuase you think, but nothing else that you experience HAS to exist because it can be a construct of your consciousness.

Yes but IF you are not aware of the higher consciousness then are you really conscious yourself?
In other words you can believe that you exist because you believe that you are thinking but in fact your thoughts may simply be the thoughts of the higher being directing you like a puppet.
Here is another thing to ponder? This one from the great philosopher Richard Mikesell, on free will. You have free will right? Ok then will yourself to die, to stop breathing. You can't do it.
So if we don't have free will then whose construct are we?
It's like trying to define quality. What is quality?
I'd normally get involved in an intellectual conversation like this, but pool and this forum have taken up all my reading time
I believe that is true and so did early christians....
The early gnostic christians believed that there were three levels of consciousness. What we are is just the frequency of energy that our brains create upon development. That frequency exists throughout the universe and is a part of the complete consciousness or God. This is qhy we have Deja Vu and sometimes dream of future events in our lives, because the part of us that is not trapped by space time and our bodies bleeds over into our conscioousness during dream states and other states of consciousness like high levels of meditation.

Diamond 9ft Professional with 4 1/4" corner pockets with the pocket angles being miter cut at 141 degrees, with a 12 degree down angle. Cushions are Artemis Intercontinental K55 model 66. Nose height of the cushions is at 1 7/16" above the playing surface. Cue ball travel lengthwise is 6 cushions. Side pocket miter cut is at 105 degrees, with a 12 degree down angle. Side pocket opening is 4 3/4". All pockets are finished with no flaps, and no exposed staples. Also, no staples were used to attach the bed cloth, which was stretched at a width of 2 1/4" inches side to side for maximum tightness.
Just goes to show you that K55 cushions work very well, and without having to alter the design of the sub-rail...imagine that.

Ey, Cobra, aren't the end rail facings of Diamond tables at the wrong angle?
The look too flat to ( from the factory ). Shouldn't the end rail facing angle towards near the side pocket?

Take identical tables with 4 1/4" corner pockets, one say with a miter cut of 141 degrees, and the second with a miter of 143 degrees. The one with the 143 degree angles is going to have the same pocket opening, but the back of the pocket at the slate shelf is going to be tighter, thus a tighter pocketed table. Now add to that 143 degree pocket cut, deep shelf slate pockets, now it just got much tighter, because of the distance the object ball has to travel into the pocket before it falls off the shelf, and the deeper it has to go the more narrow the pocket becomes, thus tighter. On a deep shelf slate like what's used on a Diamond, the 153 degree pocket cut becomes crazy tight, where as on a Brunswick say, which has a much shorter slate shelf, it's not so bad. What happens when pockets are tightened to say 4 to 4 1/4" inches is the pockets actually get easier to make balls in, in the since that you have less pocket hangers because the balls are directed more into the center of the slate shelf which is more shallow, and because the inside edge of the slate is restricted by the extended cushions, there's no where for the balls to hang up inside the pockets, like when playing one pocket. The balls are either in, or they're out. I'm not saying the pockets are easy to play, the "tight" pockets just means there's a smaller target to get the object balls through in order to pocket the balls, that's all. So, when tightening up pockets, there needs to be some kind of consideration as to how deep the slate shelf is, because you don't want to create pockets that rob the player of a well executed shot that should go in if it's hit properly, so slate shelfs play a major part in determining the angle of the miter cut of the pocket openings, as they should be timed together so to speak.JoeyInCali said:
