I have noticed the angle (verticle pocket angle) on all Diamond 9' corner pockets, is cut at such a deep angle that balls cut down the long rail at what has alway been acceptable pocketing speed (even tho extreme), are not accepted where as the Gold Crowns they are. It also seems odd/incorrect that when the ball does "jaw" it jumps up like balls sometimes do when hitting/bouncing going into the back of the pocket on Gold Crowns. On Gold Crowns you also notice a line on the pocket facings where the ball strikes the facing, on the Diamonds its as almost the ball strikes the rail line of the pocket facing, IMO I think Diamond should cut the facing angle not as steep, much like the side pocket verticle pocket angle that seems acceptable on their tables.

You are refering to Diamonds trademark. Everyone knows these are tough tables to play on. If they cut their angles like everyone else they would be just like everyone else. These tables have become a pro favorite with the same angles and I dont think they should consider a different angle. If your looking for something that plays like a GC, you have to play on a GC.
