Olhausen Out - Diamond Pro-Am In

[MurrayNevada]

That's a first for me. The standard 8' was always a 44"x 88" playing surface and the oversized 8' was 46"x 92". Never heard of a 45"x 90" before.

Those measurements may be Olhausen measurements. Scroll to near bottom of the page for Pro-Am measurements. Dimensions for all size Pro-Am tables are listed.

Personally, I think the room looks better with the Pro/Am.

It was time to buy a Pro-Am and I did. Thanks for guidance from Glen Hancock and a fine installation by Mark Estes of Las Vegas.

I would have kept the Olhousen. Plays great and prettier. It is not the cue or the table. It's the shooter.

As it concerns women, some men look to pretty and some look to the well-built. In this case Ms. Pro-Am was more than pretty enough and she was much better built than Ms. Olhausen. It was an easy choice for me.

Congrats, Murray.

I also chose no logo for my 8 foot Pro Am and the Littman light. Looks great, plays great.

the pro am also has more ass than the olhausen as well, which is always a plus

To each his own. I have an oversized 8 ft Louis XIV Olhausen and it's never going anywhere other than where it is right now I believe the Accu-Fast cushion makes it play more difficult than Diamonds because of the rattle. I play on Diamonds at the billiard hall so I am very comfortable with my conclusions.
I do believe the Diamonds can take more pounding because of the way the pockets are built and it looks like this was one of the considerations the OP made in going with Diamond. Good luck with your new table!

$15,000 for the Olhausen. Not in my lifetime.
I used to own an Olhausen way back before Katrina. It just never played like a GC and the buckets were quite large.

I have never played on a GC. Friends tell me that GC plays easier than Diamonds, but I need to find out for myself. I like how my table looks and plays. It's not much about the money.

I'll agree that is the most important thing about a table

Hey. There’s a thread on here where you can get a Brunswick sticker to put on your table cheap.

If I did that some people may think my table was made in China.
