True Blue for the 9-Foot Diamond

Published by admin under Uncategorized

It’s blue but it’s certainly not sad.

Newly Recovered 9Ft DiamondThe 9-foot Diamond Professional pool table is now freshly recovered with gorgeous Royal Blue Simonis 860 to match the current Delsa Blue Simonis 300 on the two billiard tables.

The nearly twelve hour job was completed on Monday, July 27, 2009 courtesy of Mike Fieldhammer, with special help from Donnie, Matt, David, and Madeline. This included repairing a couple facings and fine tuning the ball return system.

The Minneapolis Billiard Club has the most well maintained equipment around. Club members vacuum the tables and clean the balls daily after each use.
