9ft Pro Am's are already one piece.
Diamond has dollys to move the tables fully assembled with the legs tucked inside.
It works out nicely.
Where's all the talk about moving to 10' tables?

F*ck....I have a hard enough time trying to reach on a 9' table. What I am going to do with a 10' table, order custom thicker shoes or even get a custom bridge that I will never put down even after I miss? I can just see it now my opponent missing and leaving the cue ball in the middle of the table and just chuckling as I sigh and walk up to the table with cue and bridge in my hands on every shot.
On a positive note the older people will have problems seeing that far.
That's to funny!I'm 6'4'' and would have lots of trouble on a 10 footer.
So....am I reading this right...I can get some odds on a bet that Diamond WON'T build a 5'x10' ProAm pool table any time soon?
Actually...all 4 will have 1 piece slates to begin with
and yes, the 9ft straight rail billiards tables are not only finished...they're already being delivered...as I just finished delivering and setting up 3 of them in Houston, TX.Celtic...Here are the reasons...
1) Nobody is going to manufacture 10 ft tables. Diamond is making a whole 4...big deal...they are not going to restructure their plant to make something not enough people will buy or use.
2) The majority of people have never even seen a 10 ft table, and aren't likely to. Therefore it will never become mainstream...like it was 60-70 years ago.
3) Poolroom owners will never put 10 tables in (other than a few who might put one in for a conversation piece), because they take up too much room, and don't pay it back (nobody would play on them).
4) If you took all the available 10 ft tables in the country, and put them in one place, it still wouldn't be enough to hold a major pro event.
Is that enough, or do you want more? Oh, and frankly, it doesn't matter if anybody responds or not, because it's beating a dead horse.

In fact it does not matter arguing about it at all, neither me nor you have any control over it one way or the other. Either the 10-foot tables Diamond is building will be a hit, open some eyes, and maybe set a new path for this sport, or they wont and we can enjoy another 20 years of this sport sucking ass. Wont you be happy to have won the arguement then?
Would 16 in one place be enough to hold a "Pro" event?:smile:
Really? I did not know that. I've never worked on a Diamond table, I guess not too many people have them in there homes in Arizona. I'm gonna check that dolly out. I could use a dolly specific to moving pool tables. I've always muscled 7 footers and used a flat furniture dolly for 8's. Thanks for the info.

Man I would love to have a Diamond 10ft here in Utah. I play a lot on a 10ft snooker and a converted Brunswick.
To have tournament play on big tables would be a dream.

Neil...Yeah, that has to be it. I spoke with Greg Sullivan in Vegas about this subject. He laughed and told me Diamond has no intention of changing over to 10' tables any time soon, but that he was making a few to see if anyone would buy them! 9' tables are the world standard for professional competition. If Greg isn't really interested, why would the other table companies be? IMO they won't.

Was the Strickland vs. Archer match on a 10' table? I think that I heard that it was a Gandy, but that's all I know.
IIRC, it was a converted Brunswick snooker table.
Yes a 10ft gaffe table.
I know that the Strickland vs. SVB match was on a 10' converted brunswick. But I could have sworn that the Strickland vs. Archer match was on a Gandy.
That was a 9-footer, the Archer match. Bad Blood.
Yes, I did a search and it was a 9 footer per Mark's post (post # 69 in the thread):

OK, you dont think 10 footers have a snowballs chance.
I respect your opinion and always read your posts.
I'm curious
Lets pretend the unthinkable happens and there is a switch to 10's for major pro events.
What effect you think that would have?
