jayson shaw giving his opinion.. not a good look for predator when so many pros are saying the same thing, and the potential buyers are seeing the roll offs in every match
Well he isn't being paid by predator so of course he doesn't need to help them out.
Watching that video, that is a lot of money to have to lay out. Just to then, play on dodgy tables. Nice to see someone speak there mind!!
Watched that match of Shane's and the balls rolled like there was a hill in the middle of the table. Those players need to adapt for this one and hit em like bar bangers do. Just joking. That picture of the guy working on the table, with a carpenters level, says it all. I really don't think it's a table problem, but most likely a setup problem, as they have played on these tables before and I don't ever remember seeing anything like this. That table was really bad.

Based on what RKC has said they've brokn/damaged about half the slates so far. I'm not blaming the table itself but Pred/CSI need to find some better mechanics. I saw a ball roll-off on the stream that reminded me of a 3x6 Valley in a Dallas titty-bar. Rolld off about 3 full inches. Fkng joke.
There is a reason Diamond took over the tournament table. They basically came up with a Valley on steroids. You can roll it in, tip it down, and easily level it.
Guess @realkingcobra was on to something and there's a reason SAM tables were never used in regularly professional tournaments.
The first ones used in Arizona had 3 piece slates. Ernesto helped set them up, and had to drill the slates to pull down the crowns. Then, the balls hopped off the rails, so he had to loosen up the rails and slide penny's under them, tighten them back down, raising the nose heights. Yeah, they played great alright
Its one thing to design a pool table to be set up and never moved again, but its a completely different world when you have to design a 9ft, to be set up, taken down, moved and set up again, over and over again. I told Diamond 22 years ago, they'd have 100% dominants over the tournament world with multiple 9fts being rolled in, flipped down, leveled and ready to play in 30 minutes or under. You CAN'T do that with ANY other table manufacturer on the planet, NONE of them produce a frame that will support the constant moving around of the tables. Its the BOX table design that sets Diamond apart from ALL other table manufacturers! They'll never get it!!!
ALL pool tables built that are moved in and out of tournaments over and over again, I don't care WHO builds them, are based on the BOX design, think about it people!!! You CAN'T take a home table designed frame, and convert it to a movable frame, it was NEVER designed to be moved after its initial set up!!!
I know what in the hell I'm talking about, the FIRST table I designed for Diamond back in 2000, even before the 7fts, was a MOVABLE 9ft, on a box frame, with a 3 piece slate, and as many times as I have moved that very first table, being the very first Diamond 9ft Smart table, those 3 piece slates have NEVER come apart !!!!
1 piece
