I've also noticed three more things with regards to the new Diamond Professional.
1) The side pockets play tough. I've hit some shots into the side pockets facings and they have bounced out. Shots that I though would go in. Is this typical of Diamond tables?
2) The table plays faster than my Gold Crown IV.
3) My runout/screwup percentage is better on the Diamond than the Gold Crown IV. Not sure how to explain this but I seem to have a little more confidence playing on the Diamond. There have been several times so far where, after the break, I have said outloud...."If I make this first shot I should get out...." And alot of times I do. Yesterday I had about eight (8) chances where I felt I should run out. I hosed up five and got out three times. And one of those that I messed up was due to a ball skidding.
