Hi Banikane,
I'm with Banks on this one. If I knew then what I know now, I would most definitely take the $3000 I dropped on a new Golden West table, and I would invest it into a good used Diamond table instead. When I bought my Golden West table, I was truly a brand new pool player. I let myself be charmed by the fact that the Golden West factory is 1 mile from my home, and I liked the idea of keeping my cash local. Seriously though, for 3 grand I actually expected to get what I paid for. (What a dope!)
Even if you're blessed enough to have a world class table mechanic like RealKingCobra come set up a Golden West table for you the way it's supposed to be set up.... it's still a Golden West table.
When I'm ready to get off the porch and run with the big dogs.... my next pool table will almost certainly be a Diamond. But only if I can get it in pink.
Cheers,
Katie
