Yes league cut if I wanted to really do straight pool on the diamond...but too big for 9 ball or 10 ball imo.
The Pro Am is one piece slate. I really like the way my 7 ft pro am plays so want to get the same play on the 9 ft.
Sounds like you’ve done your homework and any of those tables would be a fine choice. I would avoid the 4-1/4 inch pockets unless you are already a strong player, capable of stringing 2 to 3 racks of 9 ball or 50+ ball 14.1 runs.
I’m not sure what the difference is between a Diamond with 4-1/2 inch league cut pockets versus 4-1/2 inch pro cut pockets? I’d be interested in knowing if someone on here knows? The only possible difference would be more forgiving pocket facing angles on the league cut pockets?
Just read the last post just after posting this and apparently it was the OP’s error as league pockets are 4.75 inches. Thanks
hes full of shi$. justns new pal.
hes got a diamond table already and gonna swap it out for a gc or a different diamond
sure
Not all Pro Ams are 1 piece slate . They can be had in 3 piece as well and all 9ft Diamond tables can be had it 1 or 3 piece slate

I have 4 1/4" pockets and its a grind for the best of players. My table plays very stingy...so its hard to string together racks.
Yes for a Pro Am. If anybody wants a diamond Professional with light and 4 1/4" factory pockets (factory rails) then let me know.
Yeah but I'll get the one piece because its ground floor.
On the right table and with the right cue it shouldn't be a problem.
As long he is the right height and weight and looks like Fedor.
I would suggest practicing CTE for a few weeks and using a Tiger Sniper medium tip.
If you can afford a Diamond table, then you certainly can afford an older Brunswick table.
I happen to think that the older Brunswick models are superbly constructed and it just
adds a bit of pool distinction, or nostalgia, because these were the tables back in the day.
It all depends on your budget but if you want to impress people, get a new Diamond table.
I just checked eBay and the market always is changing but I like the older Brunswick tables.
The room decor for the table is important but if it’s a pool room theme, older tables look great.

His run-outs permit misses.
1000 should be no problem w/that criteria.
Under that ruleset, I gotta be up to 8376557(8873
The record for that is likely held by a convertible table that had cushions for all three game types. They were held on by strong magnets. Less than five minutes to remove a set of rails. I think Gabriels made it.

In a room that is 17' 6" x 14' I have a 9 ft diamond in it right now. I have a shorty cue for any shots where the cueball is right on the rail, and you are shooting perpendicular from it, so it doesn't come up very often, definitely not enough to be bothersome. The real issue is the fireplace hearth that gets in the way of footing on that side of the table. Anyway, get a 9 ft or go for an 8 ft that would fit perfectly?
I think I've answered my own question...get rid of the fireplace and keep a 9 ft, or get an 8 ft.

You do understand they are different tables. The Pro Am plays differently.
Than what? A JC Higgins or K-Mart?
