I first have to admit that i have no experiance with Diamond tables. But i did help setting up over ten Gold Crown 4 and 5 tables a few weeks ago and the quality controll is terrible!
Screws to short, screws missing, metal fittings with razer sharp edges, cushions that 's drilled wrong so the factory had to make wood inserts etc.
For a $10.000 table that's not acceptable!
I don't know if Brunswick tables has always been like that or if this is a result of outsourcing, but it did make up my mind; when i buy a pool table it will be a Diamond table.

I would never buy an Olhausen, I almost made that mistake but a Gold Crown came along and saved me. They all have that cheap table type long rail and pocket design, if you looked at a lot of tables I think you will know exactly what I mean. Also they have terrible pocket shapes, pocket openings, and their commercial "PRO 9" table is no better. I played on a Pro Olhausen at a pool hall and would never waste my time going back because the tables were so awful.

Diamond pro am 9ft 6k

is this for real? Is this the normal price for this table

im getn itchy just thinking about it

[Texas Carom Club]

Hmm never woulda gessed that table would be less than 10k
I played on a 7ft one yesterday and loved it

think ive been swayed from the ultra expensive new olhausen
6k? Im shooting for Christmas!

As for used Diamonds, be careful. I hate the red label tables. A few of them played really bad. The great news is is, you can buy a blue label top and not have to spring for a new table.

There is nothing better than a Diamond blue label. I've only played on one GC5, it's was good but the pockets were buckets and I hate that. I have yet to play on an Olhausen that played good and that included my brand new one that I bought years ago and the ones I've played on in several rooms around the country.

Gold Crown I or II that have been restored by a really good mech play better imo.
Nobody has that tear shaped top rail like GC.

You could be right about the recalibrated GC's. They play great. The only issue I have with those tables is you still have crappy rubber $hit that gets on your shaft. The flush Diamond leather pocket moldings are wonderful.

Olhausens are horrible imo.
The cushions are low and the corner pockets spit out balls.

I have no idea where or what table you've been playing on, but you have not played on my olhausen. It plays better than any table I've ever played on. And I grew up playing on gold crowns I & IIs. Sorry that you've not played on a "good" Olhausen. Also there is a pool hall around here with 24 diamond tables 7 & 9 footers, and my table plays better than any of them. What ever table you own or play on I hope you are as happy with it as I am with mine. BTW mine is a new 2014 montrechet...........accuguard cloth and lots of other options...........Have a great day..........
