+ fast setup and easier to move (don't have the take the table apart)
+ no marks on balls with new nylon pockets
DIAMOND BILLIARDS PRO AM PROFESSIONAL
metal elevated pocket corners could disturb your shotĪnd, if you are considering Diamond Professional Tables vs. 1.5k delivery fee you don't pay here, but you pay w/DiamondĪbout 6k (GC V) and that is pretty close to $4,900 (Pro-Am) 2.5k discount (dealer discounts are common) worse leveling system and not as easy to use = OK build.certainly a lot better than most Brunswick tables, but not as good as a Pro-Am pockets at 142 degrees and 143 degrees are also common vs. pocket variation of 1/8" seems to be common - this is just ridiculous for a table of this caliber.I can't believe someone hasn't talked to them about this.this is just unacceptable.you have to get RKC to your house to fix the NEW table. = or + (arguably) best play prior to rail angle change and with little manufacturing variation.post-rail angle change - Diamond gets a lot better.but Brunswick seems to have a lot of manufacturing variation in real life.I wonder what Diamond's variation specs are? ++ looks great for a home table - much much better aesthetics than Diamond ++ can get one immediately, 2 weeks for new delivery/setup (dealer distribution) There are reports of some slipping/stuck balls on Diamond tables, which some have attributed to the leather marks on the balls (I will dismiss the static electricity explanation) + Dymondwood durability is outstanding.you can get durable or aesthetically pleasing, but NOT BOTH. + thicker slate if comparing a 3-piece Diamond, equal slate thickness compared to 1-piece Diamond = ball spit out, or is it worse on Diamond? * it is important to realize the cost is very close however, see below. Very slight + cost (as a result of direct distribution) + doesn't have the metal elevated pocket corners black marks on balls - can't believe they haven't fixed this yet on the Pro-Am? The impregnated dye leeches. you could move to a professional, which looks a tad better, but then you lose the best things about Diamond (Pro-Am Build, wedge, 1-piece slate, etc).At that point, GC V starts to look much more interesting. looks terrible - you pay a price for Dymondwood.the pocket black on the side.Oh well.I went with black because I think it hides the ugliness better than Rosewood. + resale is great (among pool geeks).aesthetics may hurt the table for home re-sale to non-expert players.where furniture quality tables are likely preferred + best bumpers (artemis interconteninental K55 - which are actually billiard cushions, rather than the typical K66)
+ slate under the rails is a great construction technique + single piece slate w/wedge is the best leveling system + with the rail angle change, perhaps it equals or bests the play of the Gold Crown V.because the Gold Crown V has so much variation in manufacturing. + best built table on the planet.perhaps there is stuff in Europe? MAJOR ITEM: distribution and lead time.I've waited 4 months so far. I put a deposit on a NEW 9' 1-piece slate black Diamond Pro-Am with new rail angles in mid Sept, so you know what I went with.still haven't received the table though (as of Jan 16, 2011) - 4+ months since deposit. Thought I'd post this, just in case the information helps a prospective buyer.
