As far as a one piece slate playing better than a three piece slate, that all depends on who sets up the table, and the frame design of the table it's being set up on, meaning what kind of table it is, and how much work the mechanic is willing to put into leveling the three piece slate to make it perfect.jcaction2587 said:
I don't really care much for Diamond tables for the long haul unless they have the Dymondwood finished rails, because they'll never have to be refinished. Used ProAms from Diamond are between $4,000-$4,400 plus delivery and setup, but will retain their resale value way beyond that of a Brunswick or Diamond Professional...even with the Dymondwood railsjcaction2587 said:
because the ProAm IS the tournament tables of today...and the future Havent' you noticed...Diamond don't use the Professionals anymore in tournaments

No...we took turns, when I won he racked, which was kind of more often than Max thought it should have beenpoolhustler said:Ya, when I played Max, he preferred to rack his own also Glen!!!!!
It's been a long time since I've played, but the more we played 8 ball...the more I got into it, the more Max racked....but he IS a hell of a player...LMAO!

They both share the same base pedestals. The 5 has a better designed slate frame base than the 4, but that don't really make it a better table, as both frames use the same leveling system. The rails are exactly the same, only difference is the pocket castings, but they both mount the same way. But, the pocket castings on the 5 are more of a pain in the ass because they have to be shimmed to fit, and if that still don't work, you then have to remove some of the surface wood on the ends of the rails in order to set the castings down flat to the surface, if you don't do this modification to the corner pocket castings, you'll end up with the sharp corners of the castings sticking up above the surface of the laminate which WILL cause injury to one's hands if one is NOT careful sliding your hands across the corner pockets!!!!!sdbilliards said:

The GC in the pics is the GC5 I just set up at Fatboy's this last weekend, the GC4 was taken out, it's going to Colorado this week into another home. Yes, it's in my plans to stop by JimS on my way from the Diamond factory to Rapid City, SD. Once I get done with this next Diamond delivery, I plan on spending the rest of this year on the east coast, as there's a lot of tables back there, as well as mechanic's I'd like to spend some time working on...and working with.Cuaba said:
Thank you sir, would anyone expect less of me?:thumbup:Big Perm said:
This must be the table you're talking about having played on at Fatboy's. This is the one I took down that is on it's way to ColoradoCuaba said:
