I can't get past the crooked tree trunk looking legs... Ugly!
Priced a new table lately? Diamond's are about the same and there's a 3mo+ waiting list to get one. Pool's not dying.Super competitive? No wonder pool is dying.
Are you going to look at the legs while playing? Who cares. Looks better than a ProAm imo. Great table but a PA looks like a barbox on steroids to me.

Box up it looks amazing and no the legs really don't matter but as a buyer and had to choose I'd pick diamond all day based on just that
I would too because its made here. Getting parts,etc is easy with a Diamond. Predator is such a global brand they're going to sell a bunch of these.
I look at tables like this as 'performance' tables not furniture. When i'm playing all i see is the top and when i'm done i'm not sitting in my recliner staring at it. To each his own as far as aesthetics go but i'd have one of these in a heartbeat. Watching the ProSeries stream and they look to play really good. Tough, fair and not goofy. I don't think they'll outsell Diamonds' in the US. Worldwide may be another story.
jasmin apparently got gifted one from predator, pretty cool.
i think they look alright. i will always prefer wood though.

They did go a bit overboard with the logo's. The legs aren't great but I'm not offended by them and the clean lines on top definitely make up for any deficiency in the legs.
Brunswick would still be #1 for me. I'm not a fan of the diamonds (just too ugly) so it wouldn't even be considered so I guess Predator would be 2nd in line for me or possibly the right Rasson.

The Pro is one nice table. Play great, look nice and built like a tank.
Nope. Yes, it looks much better than their other tables and frankly, it looks like a Brunswick - so I'd just buy a Brunswick
I am very much an old school person and Brunswick has been around for how many years and now all of the sudden they're obsolete? I think not.
Besides, why would they make it look like a Brunswick - maybe because they know their tables are ugly? Again, I'd just buy a Brunswick
I grew up on GC's and still love them but B'wick does nothing to support pool. Plus everything is made in China. D'mond supports pool big time and is made here. Maybe the new B'wick owners will get them back into tournament pool. One big thing i do like about D'monds: i've never scratched a cue on one. As much as I like GC's all that metal trim does does is scratch cues. Don't even get me started on their pos scoring wheels.Nope.

And that's the beautiful thing about life - I get to like what I want and you get to like what you want. Diamond tables are the best playing tables straight out of the box, there's no denying that, they're just not for me.
Buy a used GC 4, call RKC and have him set it up (yes, Chili Palmer just said that) and you'll have a better looking and playing table than ANY Diamond EVER built.
As far as the China comment goes, too bad you feel that way, we live in an international economic world and I have zero issue with purchasing products made in other countries (China, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Canada, et. al). You realize, in other countries there are people just like you who are trying to live a good life and they didn't get to choose where they were born, but your parents did choose to raise you how they did and you get to choose how to raise your children.
But this is not the place for that conversation so I'll let this thread go back to Predator tables now
EDITED to remove a few too many smilies.
My last here too: I'm just not real big on slave labor and China's overall treatment of it so called citizens. I try to buy non-Chinese as much as possible but sometimes its nearly impossible. BTW, i do think the GC4 is the best GC. Do the RKC support mod and they're even better.

The amount of logos on this table is actually toned down for Predator.
A full-monty tournament D'mond isn't much difference. You can see those 'DIAMOND' logos from outer space.
I love this look:

Is it possible the Predator table has extra labels on if for streaming and TV use?
