For all you die hard Brunswick fans!

"Bashing mechanics"? Who have I bashed, or are you like some of the other sheep on AZ, you just keep repeating what you've heard/read from others because it's without fact?

Now that you've made it clear about delivering a Diamond to you, talk is cheap...buy one and TRY and get me to deliver it to you...because it'll take more than money to get me to reconsider a delivery to you...even if I'm driving right past your house, that's a promise!:p

Bashing is in the eye of the beholder, it is obvious that you are blind to the tenor and theme of many of your posts. Again, I am sure you are great at your trade and I congratulate you on the hard work you have done to perfect your craft. However, believe it or not you are not the only person on this planet that can set up a Diamond table that plays excellently. Good luck on your future table installations and I wish you nothing but the best and do not worry I will not be pursuing you for any table work in the future>

Take Care and God Bless you on your travels.

Did you miss the point that I work on other tables as well, like Brunswick's, Gabriels, and Olhausen's as well just to name a few, and my work is the same as working on a Diamond?

Glen

PS. I can work on ANY pool table, including billiards tables and snooker tables as well, I don't believe Diamond builds them...do you?
 
Glen,

I am not going to get into a pissing match with you here, because I respect all you have done for the billiards industry. If Eric says you a good guy, I can't disagree.

What I do have a problem with is how you come off with your posts.

Too much Bravado, Narcissism, "Look at ME, Look at ME"......

It obviously doesn't bother some people, others it does bother, myself included.

No doubt you know your stuff and probably one of the very best in your field, just stop telling everyone. You have already told us enough times, we all know by now!!!

:thumbup:

Best to you,


Russ.......
 
I am sure that Diamonds play great but So do Gold crowns. However I personaly think that the Diamond tables are ugly comparred to a GC. The GC have that classic style to them. To each thier own

I'm sure there are many mechanics around the country that do excellent work but I'd suggest the majority of them
wouldn't know AZB from XYZ. Folks here are fortunate that Glen takes the time to share his knowledge on this forum
regardless of table type or how stupid the question may seem.

At times I think Real King of Controversy may be a better handle then Real King Cobra but frankly I like the fact that Glen
doesn't sugar-coat his posts when someone posts incorrect info concerning tables or table work.

As an example here's a recent thread on tightening pockets -

Disregard the posts by people with nothing better to do then suggest using bigger balls.

Abe Lincoln owned a Brunswick!!!
If I didn't get a great deal on my GC II, I'd have bought a use Diamond.
I would never buy GC III and up models.

You are missing out. The 4's and 5's really are the pinnacle of Brunswick's frame making. Nothing against the 3's and previous models, but the newer have some great stuff. And for the gentleman with the cushion issues, do talk to Brunswick, they should replace them as long as you were the original buyer.

Glenn, can I get the leveling system and 1-piece slate next time you come through here?

I hope you realize you'd be 1/3rd of the way into the cost of a ProAm in making that change. But, yes I could do that, I just did it for Larry H in Suprise, AZ.

CaptiveBred said:
Couldnt you just put 1 piece slate on a GC4 and get the same thing? Or back your 3 piece slate with some good 1" stock, drop the legs an inch and convert a GC4 real cheap to a system that can be leveled at any time? Sounds pretty doable if it was set up right from the jump...

How much does a 1 piece slab cost anyways?
Click to expand...
Yes, the Diamond leveling system and one piece slate could be adapted to any GC, but getting Diamond to agree to the sale....well, that's a different story all together...LOL

PS. I pay the cost of fuel/motel rooms/ food/ truck maintenance and everything else associated with the costs of living on the road, not Diamond.

And I don't know how you make it on the little you charge. I still owe you more of a tip then I was able to give when you were here. I haven't forgot the deal you gave me to set up my Diamond pro. I will get even:grin-square:[/QUOTE]
Dinner buddy...I hope you know how much I eat, I was just being nice last time, I'll make sure I'm hungry next time I stop by:)

AMEN to you Brother, I am sick of TheRealKingCobra bashing Brunswick tables and other mechanics. When I buy my next table it will be a Diamond but probably not installed by THE RKC. This is probably one of only about six negative posts that I have made in the time I have been posting here, but I am worn out buy this guys lack of humility and class.

Take Care Everyone

Don, I just noticed that the use of "Buy" as in "When I buy my next table it will be a Diamond"...it's not used the same as in "but I am worn out buy this guys lack of humility and class"...that buy would be spelled "by"...and in the future, if my posts bother you...don't read them:p LOL

You can argue the Diamond plays better ( I don't agree, I prefer a GCIV), but you can't say a Diamond looks better!:grin: I think the Pro-am looks like a bath tub, but to each there own!:eek:

Tap,Tap,Tap. Glen is also the same in person as he is behind a computer screen. He is not only proud of his skills but the game itself. If you ever get to know RKC his post take on a different meaning. He definitely dose not work for Diamond but rather with them. And there are several other billiard related companies that he helps also. He has some ideas for the pool world that would blow you away, and if things work out some of them may come to fruition.:thumbup:

I can't argue with you about that...LOL A Diamond ProAm is kind of like fat women and mopeds...they're both fun to ride...until your buddy's see you...lmfao But they were designed to be a commercial pool table based on the "Smart Table" design, and that means very transportable, very strong framed, quick and easy to set up, fast to move out. On that basis alone you have to admire the ugly duckling:grin:

Thank You Glen: You've got a great reputation as well. I have no problem with you or some of you're posts. Like I've said, I enjoy reading some of the peoples posts on here. Just sometimes you come across just a little strong. So what if some table mechanic says he has done this or that, they shouldn't have to post pictures of their work. Yeah, you would like to know for sure if they are or are not any good, but guy's that do top notch work on tables should be on here to help people become more aware of the fact it does make a hugh difference how you're table is set up. More money for the better table mechanics. Just as the better the table, the more the cost.

Pool players are a lot better, the equipment is a lot better, the cloth is the best ever, cues, tips, etc.

Why shouldn't the time come for the table mechanics that do really great work, get paid more for their work. Maybe more poolrooms would pay more attention to the equipment, and not hire the cheapest guy possible for the job.

Those people paying $10.00 an hour should have a good table to play on, even if they don't know what a good table should play like.
I've lost my case money several times in my life because of bad equipment, that's what made me learn how to do a pool table the right way.

You don't have to be a great player to play on a great playing table.
Believe me, still today I hear people say, It's just a pool table, they don't know the difference.
Todays players really do know the difference, just do a bad job on one and you'll see.

Glen, you've been a lot of help to a lot of people on here I'm sure, and that's what will help people recognize there is a difference.

LET"S ALL JUST STAY ON THE SAME PAGE TOGETHER,
HELL IT"S JUST A POOL TABLE, RIGHT: :smile: LOL

I couldn't agree more, but it's up to "us" in our field of work to change that and make it better for everyone that works on tables that do quality work:smile:

PS. That slate pictured isn't that heavy, it only weights 618lbs...:grin:

No, you don't have to post pic's of your work. But unless I have personally seen your skills and the finished product, I wouldn't consider you for the job. You want to get paid more than the average mechanic? Then you are going to have to showcase your work and have a list of references. But if Glenn says your good, then that's good enough for me.:wink:

Better yet, Brunswick should go back to the original real Monarch cushions.
Not the clay-mixed they have one now.
