I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Diamond Pro Am. It was set up this past Friday and it is awesome!!!!
Just wanted to share since I had asked opinions from the board in the past about whether to pull the trigger on this table or not...
I believe I made the right decision.
I like the 'fortress' look of this Diamond...to me, a pool table is a battlefield.
I would like it even more if the legs were wider at the bottom than the top.
I distrust elegant-looking billiard furniture.
And by all means, get a Diamond light-shade...you need eye protection for
those lights. The right lighting will tone down the room also, and give it
that 'je ne sais quoi' that will encourage you to stay there for hours.....
much to the consternation of your wife.:frown:
And btw, play the 4-ball in with high center-ball... this shot is counter-
intuitive, the harder you hit it, the less it will travel. The cue-ball will go long off the first rail and when it hits the second rail, the top spin becomes
draw, slowing the cue-ball down to park it center table...which gives you
the proper angle on the 5-ball to get on the 6-ball. Stay near mid-table
so you can play two rails for the 7-ball in the same pocket you made the
4-ball, thus ensuring that you never get snookered by the 9-ball.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words...this has been a few of them.:smile:
