Some pictures of Diamond's first 9ft Billiards table.

[realkingcobra]

These are all I took for right now, loading the tables up and heading off to Houston, TX first thing in the morning to deliver the first 3 built. Well...here it is...Diamond's new 9ft straight rail billiards table. 61.5mm cue ball banks 5 times the length of the table, and 9 banks around the table as well.

Yip Glen goona be extra busy and loving every minute of it. Pool player now have to wait longer and 3c players get to see what the realkingcobra can do for them.

why the 9 footers and not a 10? will they be doing a 10? can you explain how diamond is going to target the straight rail table market? maybe explain their priority to do the 9 before the 10.

will the people that ordered those 9 footers need some amos boards for them?

thanks bill

Will this table be convertable to a pocket billiard table with a optional extra set of rails and vice-versa?

9's before the 10's because the 9ft straight rail market has the WORST tables on the market as far as I'm concerned. There's plenty of 10's to choose from that play good...but not one 9fter to even consider...so, start from the bottom...and work your way up...was my thoughts on making the choice that I did to start with the 9's first.

Actually...in 3 different conversions, all interchangeable. Normal 6 pocket rails, billiards rails.......and one pocket rails....with only the 2 foot corner pockets and billiards for the rest of the table...at a later date

Well, now that's just out of control if you ask me. You're going to make me buy two additional sets of rails for my table? You are a cruel, cruel man.:wink:

this will change the game a bit. I look forward to seeing this table in action

Glenn - Does it come with a ball return system?

 

[hang-the-9]

Yep, the guy that cuts the pockets into the rails is F-I-R-E-Ddddd.

 

[cigardave]

Another good thing about this table... no more black marks on the balls. :thumbup:

Not with the billiards only table...but you could put the billiard rails on your table and switch back and forth between pool and billiards real easy

 

[sneakynito]

Looks beautiful. Are they going to be anywhere we can play on them or are these private tables?

That will fundamentally alter part of the game. Will players like that if they can't safe up against the corner pockets up table or the side pockets?

 

[Bob Callahan]

When we were talking about these a couple of weeks ago, I didn't realize you meant so soon. They are beautiful!
For the record, I played on a table Glen did here in KY--pretty much the second he finished it--he is even better than his outstanding reputation, and a great guy to learn from.

 

[Black-Balled]

Looking forward to getting one in VA...is Sterling still on your radar, Mr?
:joyful:

61.5mm cue ball banks 5 times the length of the table, and 9 banks around the table as well.

Glenn,
Where is the cue ball's starting point and what track do you use to get the cue ball to go 9 rails around the table?

 

[ceebee]

These one pocket tables will add to the game. They have (had) those type tables in Joplin.

The way they play the game, it is different from the break shot on. The Rack is at the end with no pockets, the game is played UP-TABLE.

I would rather play it normally on one of those tables (rack area in the end where the pockets are)

Way to go Diamond...
