Notice to Diamond of no longer delivering pool tables.

[realkingcobra]

For any of this to happen we have to pay more for tables and buy more tables. In other words, pool has to become more popular with the mainstream. Pool has to clean up it's act so that more people are willing to give it a try. I remember when I was young, (long time ago), the first time I hit some balls, I was hooked. Trouble is now, there's no place for young people to hit balls and their parents sure don't want them near a pool room, not to worry, not many of them left. So "rkc", what's your answer here?

My answer is that I think the youth playing or not playing pool has no bearing on my desires to make tables better to play on across this country, by educating billiards technicians in order to bring them up to a whole new level of craftmanship, as to insure those that DO have pool tables, when they spend their hard earned money to have they're pool table(s) worked on, they know they're not wasting it.

Personaly, unless someone can see that there is somewhere to advance to playing pool, some level of importance, some way of a "Future" in playing pool for a living, I don't think much is ever going to change. Players come and go, they always have, they always will, unless there's a reason to play for more

I have a program that would work, for the whole system of pool world wide, I just don't know if the world is ready for it yet, but I assure you, it WOULD work

... In other words, pool has to become more popular with the mainstream.

Pool is alive and well in many homes in this country.
I'd venture to say that in most teenagers circle of friends that someones daddy has a home table.

What Does Diamond Say?

I got tired of this thread about 25 pages ago

Just wondering if anyone from Diamond has replied to any of this?

One part of the reason I need Diamond's support, is because I at times need the use of their factory. It's hard to teach a class of say 10 mechanic's the process of installing rail cushions and facings, when you only have one set of rails to work with. At the factory, my students would have at least a full day of installing cushions, recovering rails, recovering slates, leveling tables, loading tables into carts, unloading tables from carts. And they'd have a better understanding of what goes into building a table from ground up. What better place to teach?

In order to do what I'm wanting to do, I need a factory, and a huge back yard full of pool tables of all kinds. I'd rather start out at the factory level first, where everything is at the "Before it's screwed up" begining, then move on to how to fix tables and get them back to "Factory" conditions, then work on teaching beyond that on how to hotrod a table so to speak.

Make sense to me.

Yes, in fact I did not have anything better to do. I was so bored in fact that I counted every other users post as well. Obviously we both do not have shit to do.

While you were doing that, I spent the day teaching Sdbilliards here in Las Angeles, CA how to recover 3 Valley 7ft coin-operated pool tables today, and didn't even charge him as I had nothing to do today because I'm waiting on cloth to show up so I can finish setting up the Gabriels billiards tables I brought here for delivery. So, I guess one of us wasn't so bored today

While I was at it, I talk Bart, the owner into going over to Mr. Lucky's pool room to take a look at the 3 Diamond 7ft Smart Tables there, so he can decide if he wants to replace the 3 Valley, and 1 Global coin-op's in his bar...as he's very interested in doing that, so if he does, I guess you could say I had a $16,000.00 dollar day today, doing nothing

If you happen to look at the main page, find your thread (Which you're obviously very capable of doing) and look at the number of REPLIES to the right of the thread title. Now, that number happens to be hyperlinked. Click that link and you will get THIS.

While you were typing your response above I was on the phone with a Special Forces Commander down range who had a critical IT asset that was not operational. I connected remotely from here at Ft. Bragg to his IT asset in Iraq and resolved his issue in a matter of minutes. What's your point?
