Thanx you all, Plus the guy is delivering it for free pooltablemech.
 
David Bray of Virginia Beach posted in this Main Forum on October 30th the following about tables used at the 2003 U.S. Open:

"Tomorrow will be the last day that we will offer the tables from the U.S. Open. The Diamond Smart Tables (rosewood finish only) are available for $4500.00 and the Diamond Pro Tables are also available (oak finish only) for $3675.00. These are some great deals for these tables and this offer will expire tomorrow. Also still up for sale is the Sardo Tight Racks and Aramith TV balls, both on sale for $125.00. Anyone interested or if you have questions call David Bray at Q-Master Billiards, (757) 499-8900."

The eBay auction description is:

"This is a mint condition 9'Brunswick Gold Crown 4 with a Diamond Pro light. It was used at the US OPEN by the top players in the world for about 5 days and was then purchaced by my friend (WHO DOESN'T PLAY POOL)as a piece of show furniture. It comes with a set of practically new Brunswick Centennial balls and top grade Simonis cloth. If you buy this (SET) new in the store the table will cost you $6800 the light will cost $1100 and the balls are about $225 and the Simonis cloth is another $225 for a total of $8,350.00. I will deliver this table within 100 miles of the philly area or you can come pick it up yourself. YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER DEAL ON THIS SET ON THIS PLANET. This is top of the line pro equiptment and I'm practically giving it away. THANKS FOR LOOKING."

If the Open used Diamond tables, which U.S. Open did the Brunswick table come from? Plus, no pro in an Open plays with Brunswick Centennial balls.

The table light could have been used at the Open, though.

Still, all in all, it is a GREAT DEAL, especially the free delivery, Diamond table light, and Simonis cloth. Just the authenticity of the table's origin comes to question in my mind.

It was definately used in a some tournament, you can tell because of the brunswick name on the side of the table. My gold crown doesnt have that because I bought it at a store.....I paid 5000 for everything including 4 decent brunswick cues, and cue rack
 
Maybe the women's US open? I have no idea...but brand new simonis is a huge plus. All in all---unless there is something terribly wrong with the table---truly the deal of a lifetime.

But you're right, when I hear "best players in the world," Allison Fisher doesn't come to mind. Either way it's misleading!

The US Open used Brunswick Gold Crowns for about twenty years before Diamond.

Many tournament venues are using the Diamond tables, and the pros seem to like the way they play. There will always be the Gold Crown loyalists. I am thinking, though, that because of the way the Diamond people ensure swift and proper installation of tables, this provides a great asset to the promoter.

I have been hearing some about Gabriel tables, tight packaging and solidly built. Balls seem to roll differently, though (IMO).

When did the Open start using Diamond tables? Just curious.

My question too............when did they stop using the Gold Crowns..............and was it the 3's they used? I thought they quit using the GC's before they fixxed the 3's problems and came out with the 4's.

You are right, Pooltablemech. I hadn't even thought of the chronological significance of the advent of the 4's.

I'm thinking the way the eBay ad was worded that it was the Diamond table light that was used at the Open, but I may be wrong. eBay provides a link to question the seller, and this would be a logical inquiry.

Still, all in all, though, I must say it is an excellent deal with the table light, Simonis cloth, Brunswick pool balls, and installation.

Doesn't say install.....just deliver. And I got a 1 year old GC4 with a matching Brunswick light......and Cenntenial Balls..........4,400. ONE YEAR OLD..........and I can verify that John Schimdt has hit a few balls on this one. LOL! Never said that the ebay thing didn't sound good.............just like you....wondering the age of the table if it was used in an Open. Hard to believe that someone would use word tricks at ebay....get outta here!lol
