Pool Tables

I've noticed that while there is a board for each cue you sell there isn't one for the tables that you sell. I'm interested in opinions on your tables vs some of the other tables out there, specifically Proline.

Well, we sell Kasson, AMF, some Connelley, Valley, Great American, Gandy, Beach and do repairs on all makes and models. Unfortunately for your question, I have not repaired or played on the Proline Tables so I don't really have a good opinion on them for you. I saw the line at a BCA show before, but not long enough to promote an opinion.

So what are your thoughts on the Kasson tables? They seem to be a bit lower priced than the Prolines and I'm interested in all types of feedback. After reading my previous question I realize it was a bit directed.

kasson tables are a great value. This is our main seller and somethig we are very confident in promoting and putting out there to our customers. I have owned a 7 foot Kasson for the last few years (because of room limitations) and it looked as good as the day I bought it when I sold it a few months ago. I have just added on to my house and made room for a nine foot table. I purchased a Connelley because I wanted the wood look and was very impressed with "the ultimate" , a six legged model that they have. Kasson tables are a little limited in the nine foot area. Not a lot of nine foot models to choose from.
Rick has owned the Kasson 9' Aurora table at his house and it it a great sturdy professional style table. tight pockets and plays great.

Money being no object. What would the choice of tables be?
I'm looking at the Brunswick Gold Crown 1V. for my game room.
I haven't played on a kasson Auroro or a Peter Vitali.
Feedback needed!
Thanks

Peter Vitalie tables are really nice. I did alot of research on Kasson and Peter Vitalie. Vitalie are died wood not which is great if a dent or scratch gets on the rail. The dye won't reveal any unfinished wood. Kasson leg joints are also weaker. The held together with bolts. Vitalie are held together with wooden pins and bolts. Go for the Vitalie!

I have shot on quite a few different tables and I think I prefer the Diamond tables, although I feel the need to qualify this a bit. Outside of bar boxes most of my experience has been with the gold crown tables, many that have been around for a lot of years. The Brunswick table is top notch table (the first table I purchased for my home) and has survived the test of time. Initial impression of the Diamond table have been positive and, although they a new to my area, I do like them. How they hold up to the wear and tear of pool hall use after twenty years remains to be seen. I think their solid construction will hold up to the test of time. The Vitalie tables I have never shot on. I don't know players whose opinion I respect that have commented to me on the Vitalie table so I won't offer an opinion one way or the other on that manufacturer.
