Diamonds play nice, but so do GC's that are properly set up.........

Well it's about time
.Sometimes I have to post pics of my table....just to see yours
.
You describe how I felt when I was tableless. I held out and got the Diamond that I really wanted. That was going on four years now. Ah, bliss....
I believe there is just more research and overkill that goes into the Diamond. All the leveling points, phenolic impregnated wood, the pockets play more consistently and as tight as a triple shimmed GC's without shims. The ball return is fast and rubber padded.. The pockets sit flush to the table or maybe even slightly below. 1" slates. I think the rails are a bit more lively, maybe because the way they are cut or because they are built to the table in way that allows them to be stiffer.
IMO, if you have 5k to drop on a table, get a used Diamond ProAM. If you have 2500-3000 get a GC4, 1800-2000, GC3. If you have 1000.00, no matter what table brand you have, make sure you find a good mechanic...
I paid 1600.00 for my K-Steel and I have no complaints yet. Well, hmmm, the bottom of the frame is a little dusty.
For what it's worth, I paid $3,100 for my used 9' diamond pro w/ the dymondwood rails. I thought then and still think now that it was a decent deal on the 'bay.
I think they look less scary after dark
Cuebuddy, you're diamond rocks - love the black diamonds on the rails and the black skirts!

I generally don't like the GC's especially the GC 1. But I will say that I do like the kitch of your table. Those nice blue skirts would match my purple basement and would also compliment the two tables here:
It used to rock until I wedged some playing cards under one of the legs now its not so bad
.jlo so far you win with two tables. I am a little jealous of the bar box, it's been 20 years since I played on one and I'm starting to get the urge with all these tourney's being played on them.
Check out the black logo.

Man.. I dont even have enough money for one table.. yet you are rocking two.. I am a sad, sad man now.. haha.
Thats a great deal set up. I would of done that probably. I was under my K-steel, its already a tank but being that I know how to build stuff, I think I can make it better and or restore it.
