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. If I were to order again, I would just go with the standard 4 1/2" pockets as I don't feel that it would be any tougher to play given the pocket angles.Thought I'd post this, just in case the information helps a prospective buyer. She was really rattling the balls in the corner pocket, but honestly didn't take her too long to adjust. One of my wife's female friends who is a past state champion, has started to come over to practice, as she doesn't get much practice on a Diamond table except for tournaments, and had a really tough time against my wife and I for awhile. Pockets are bigger at 4 3/4, but you actually have to be more accurate with your shot. I could be wrong but I feel this increased angle actually helps to make the balls rattle in the corner pocket compared to what you would get with the standard 4 1/2" pockets and angles. It's only a quarter inch, and what is never mentioned is that to get that quarter inch, I think they just reangle the corner facings to get the corner opening for the league cut, as my pocket angles are 2 1/2 deg different than what everyone quotes for Diamond pocket angles. To be honest, not really sure that it made it that much easier to play.

I got the league cut on my new Professional last year, as my wife and I are not top level players anyway, and we have a lot of company over to play, that are just casual players.
