Fedor has been tearing errrrybody up and taking their $$$ !!!!
This is the fact of the matter that no arguing, hating or crying will change.
I wish I hadn't taken the day off AZB when you posted. I want to see if the shadow under my rails is my dark green cloth or my light or if a lighter color cloth would fix the problem. It's kind of hard to see the edges of the balls when they are against the rail.
Goin back next week. Know who to ask. Will let you know if I manage to get a couple pieces of the old cloth.
There was an hour long interview posted with Karim, CEO of Predator, and Ozzy, CEO of CSI. It was really eye opening, imo. Karim basically said the tables are not even close to be ready for sale yet, and they have been working out the kinks and battle testing them on the professional events. He said that's all part of the RD process. The last event, I believe he said was in Germany, didn't have table issues (according too him). Its a good interview, well worth watching, IMO.

Nice post! I think Karim's vision of what pool could and should be is clearly better than what we have now: no pro tour and no growth as an industry. Professional Pool players have nothing in the USA to look forward to, other than what Predator is doing. Diamond host's one tournament A YEAR and Brunswick does NONE. The industry will dictate who comes and goes, IMO Predator is here to stay. They have budgets and VISION. The tables obviously are just getting moving, they are surely still doing R & D and what better way: test them on their own tour. It makes perfect business sense and what a way to market the table and their brand.There was an hour long interview posted with Karim, CEO of Predator, and Ozzy, CEO of CSI.

He also mentions the engineers and designers at SAM, how he visited with them many times, worked on the table designs together, etc. Its definitely not a simple rebranding.
Also of note, zero money is exchanging hands between CSI and Predator (in either direction), for the use of all of these tables, including for the bar table events coming up.

You see this Diamond 9ft, 3 piece 30mm slate, flipped up on my cart? I moved the table out of the customers house, put it in a trailer, hauled it to the building its going in. Rolled it off the trailer, into the building, flipped it down, leveled it, and it was perfect! No slate seams come apart, no crowned slates, no issues whatsoever, you know why? Because I know what the hell I'm doing, so I don't need no R&D excuse for the table not turning out perfect. All that's left to be done is bolt back on the rail skirts, job done!!!There was an hour long interview posted with Karim, CEO of Predator, and Ozzy, CEO of CSI. It was really eye opening, imo.

I didn't realize you could move the Professional that way. I thought it was only the Pro-Am that could be moved like that.
Some people think this is about what they do, Brunswick or Diamond does. It is really not. This is about growth in the industry. I remember someone who is Banned for life, talkin about how they work with Brunswick, how great their rails play and this & that: it means nothing for growth in our industry. Moving pool tables is a small part of the game, who cares about that? Promoting the sport in positive light is REAL. Making a real PAYOUT Tour that employs PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS is REAL. None of the "working model" of how pool operates is ever going to make growth. Out with the old and in with the new!!This was classic TRUTH

It can't be, unless you know what you're doing, like I do
And that right there is proof the 3 piece slate 9fts can be flipped up on carts and rolled into anywhere, flipped down again and leg leveled WITHOUT coming apart, IF the table is designed RIGHT in the first place!!!
Predator has a top notch track record, for both product design, and industry support, going back to about 1994. Of course that's not an indication of the future, but it sure means they are not a fly by night company.
God is always above even 1000 engineers
