Aug 31, 2016 by Matthew Parker about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"I just recently had my Diamond Pro Am delivered that I purchased from Heath Manning of Manning Cues. With Heath I had a great experience from when I first spoke to him about a price quote to when the table was finally delivered. Heath took the time to answer all of my questions throughout the process and gave me updates on the progress of the table while it was being built. If you want to purchase a Diamond Pro Am or anything else billiards related, Heath Manning is your guy!"

Sep 30, 2016 by Nason Dumont about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"I spoke to different people that was selling the Diamond Pro Am tables and decided to go with Manning's, due to the fact that he took the time to explain and answer all my questions and also gave some good advice. I felt very comfortable dealing with him compared to the other dealerships. Manning stayed in contact with me with updates on when the table was going to leave the factory, be delivered and set up. When the table was delivered there were some scuff marks and 1 scratch, I called Manning and told him about same, he replied hold on for a second I will get Diamond on a conference with us, after the conference call was made ,Manning seen to it that all 6 rails were changed and that I was happy with the final results, which I was. I would encourage anyone looking to buy a Diamond table to contact Manning's as their first choice. It was a pleasure doing business with Manning's, thanks for everything you made happen.
Best Regards
Nason Dumont"

Sep 30, 2016 by John Galik about  Diamond Professional Pool Table:
"To anyone wanting to purchase a pool table: I've never in my life felt the need to put any of my opinions on the internet, but I feel I owe it to Heath Manning to take the time to write this small blurb. When I read that he would be personally involved in my purchase of a pool table from Manning Cues I was a bit skeptical. However, Heath himself answered my phone calls and emails promptly. He worked with me to get the exact table I wanted, and I truly believe Heath's prices are some of the best. My table was delivered almost exactly when he said it would be, and team that set it up was great. If there had been any problems at all, I have no doubt that Heath himself would have made sure that they were corrected.

Sincerely,
J. Galik"

Nov 7, 2016 by sergei kvartler about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"This is the best table on the market in my opinion to have at home. The ball return is very fast and barely makes any noise. I looked around for the best price and Heath had the lowest. One downside of the process was that 1 part came broken, however it was neither Heath's or Diamond's fault but the shipping company's instead. Took about 1 week to get that part replaced, which wasn't bad at all. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and recommend not only this table, but the amazing service Heath offers everyday."

Feb 3, 2017 by Bill Robertson about  Action KRM03 Khrome Pool Cue:
"Saw this cue in the APA newsletter and it kinda matches my Harley so I thought I'd buy one as a "second" cue for when my #1 cue seems to have an off night. Couldn't be me of course. I really like it. I might just have two #1 cues. Contact from Manning Cues was amazing and I couldn't be happier that I bought from them. Packing was done very well which is important for a cue."

Dec 21, 2016 by Gary LeCompte about  Diamond Smart Table:
"I purchased 2 Diamond Smart tables from Manning's Cue's for my bar. Heath is a very professional guy. I could not be happier with my tables. They are great. I would not hesitate to go through Manning's Cue's again if I would need to buy some more. Matter of fact I wouldn't buy them from anyone else. Heath is great to work with and takes care of you every step of the way.


Thanks Heath"

Mar 13, 2017 by Mitchell K about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"Heath was informative, helpful, and extremely efficient. I submitted a request through the site to be contacted, and he even called me past their listed business hours! I couldn't believe I got a response so quick! Then he took the time to answer all questions and thoroughly explain the process and pricing. Not only this, but I ended up getting my table in 1/3rd of the time that he said I would! Someone cancelled so he called me to bump me up on the list. Great guy. If you want the best quality table for your money, don't go to a second-rate or third party seller. Go to the Certified Diamond Dealer of North America -- Manning Cues. Thanks again Heath, my table is PERFECT. Smooth action, quiet (and fast) ball return.. just amazing! Super happy customer! The mechanics who installed the table were great people too. Very fast and helpful. "

Advantages: Best quality table
Best quality felt (Simonis)
Easy process
Great service

Disadvantages: NONE AT ALL. SERIOUSLY.

Apr 14, 2017 by Alan Shaw about  Cuetec 6" Cue Extension with Replacement Bumper:
"I must say I love my new Cuetec Smart Extension.
This new version will not only be able to screw into the back of a new weight adjustable Cue with the enclosed adapter,(it replaces the existing chrome bumper) but it also screws right into the back of the Older models that have the round bumper with a hole in it.
I own both. Attached is a photo of how it works with each.
This is a great, quick to attach, extension for those longer shots where extra reach is needed.

Sep 9, 2021 by Clinton Ticer about  Littman LED 5' x 2' Aluminum Tournament Edition Light:
"If you are looking for a table light then you can stop here and not look any further. The Littman LED is incredible and casts the perfect amount of light on the table to eliminate shadows. The low profile (about 3 inches high) makes it perfect for hanging in places without a high ceiling to still keep the light well above the table. Installation was relatively easy. The product is lightweight, my wife and I were able to hang the light by ourselves without any other help. The light has a cable with a small hook on each end to attach to your mount. I hooked mine to the joists in my basement roof, I had to do a little work to get the spacing right on the supports but after that it was easy to just hang the light on the support. It has a standard plug and I just plugged it right in after that. It’s great!"

"A must-have for your Predator cue.
You just have to install the special bumper (included) which is very easy to install, once the bumper is installed the QR pin makes it very quick to attach and remove.
It's very light so you won't notice a real weight change on your cue."

Jul 25, 2022 by Dave Nader about  Sledgehammer SH1 Break Cue With Sports Grip:
"The McDermott SH break cue arrived in perfect condition. Had been using a Predator BK2 for years. Was not thrilled with the quality, especially the shaft. Never was laser straight and got worse over time. Predator's customer service pretty much told me it was surely my fault. Cue had been meticulously cared for.

The McDermott hits great and quality appears to be to the highest standard. Haven't had time to use it much, but that will change soon.
I must say that Aimie the manager at Manning Cues took the time to listen and share her knowledge and experience, which was the deciding factor in my decision to purchase. Between you sharing your knowledge on your site and Aimie, you've earned my highest respect and recommendation! Well done."

Advantages: Lightweight , strap , and a good size zippered pocket on the outside of the case to hold chalk , glove , etc.

Disadvantages: None

Oct 25, 2019 by Ruby Boyd about  Predator Folding Cue Holder:
"Best cue holder I’ve used to date (and I’ve used plenty). No matter the table height, this holder works, as opposed to the “potato chip clip” type holders. It’s easy to store, and has its own zippered case. While it seems expensive, once you’ve used it, you’ll see it’s the best design by far!"

Advantages: Small, adapts to any table height.

Disadvantages: Some may see the price as a deterrent, but it’s versatility justifies the price!

Mar 4, 2020 by Robert Duncan about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"For many years I've wanted to have my very own pool table. Today, not only do I have a pool table, I have an 8ft Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table! Throughout the process of getting this table to my home I had the absolute pleasure of working one-on-one with Heath Manning, the owner of Manning cues. From order to delivery Heath was there to answer any questions I might have had concerning my table while in production. Customer service seems to have become a lost art in today's business world. Not so at Manning Cues. As for the table, I'm finding the roll to be true and I have reliable consistency off the cushions. The table is beautifully crafted and the matching Diamond light only magnifies that quality. I've had my Pro-Am for about one month and I'm finding the overall function
of the table and light to be superb!!! I'm limited to 5 stars for this review but in reality, Heath Manning and the Diamond Pro-Am deserve many, many more."

Advantages: Communicating with Heath, whether on the phone or via email, created the sense of knowing a person beyond the realm of the normal buy/sell relationship. I emerge from the entire experience with the feeling that he genuinely cared that I was completely satisfied from beginning to end.




Disadvantages: None

Apr 19, 2021 by Steve Copeland about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"Lets start by saying that Heath Manning @ manning cues was spot on! He was extremely informative and on top of the whole process with very good communication. I had put my order in Dec.8th 2020 and he told me it would be mid to late April and I received it on 4-16-20. Dead on!!!! I would highly recommend Heath for your Diamond Pool table and accessory needs!!!! "

Advantages: One stop shop with Heath Manning, Very easy and straight forward. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions. Awesome!!!

Disadvantages: Diamond needs to be better organized after having to reschedule my delivery 2 times which is no fault of Heath's. Finish on 1 rail was missed in 2 spots on 1 rail...little disappointed for the amount of money you pay for a diamond pool table. Diamond took 5 months to get my table to me which is a little ridiculous and with taking that long there should not be anything missed especially the stain and finish. As far as Heath 5 stars as far as Diamond 3 stars. Great playability and construction but Diamond needs to be more thorough and better organized!!

Aug 1, 2018 by Mike Ley about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"This table was probably the single best purchase of my life! It plays better than any other table I have ever played on. Ordering through Heath was a great experience. He took his time to thoroughly answer all my questions along the way. Highly recommend ordering through Heath. Gary and Mike were the Diamond installers. They were awesome. Two great guys, that took their time, and did a fantastic job setting up my table. No doubt in my mind when my table needs new felt, I will be requesting Gary and Mike through Manning!"

Oct 18, 2022 by Dennis Krolczyk about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"Let me first say that I was not prompted to write a review about Heath Manning or Diamond pool tables . In fact , I’ve never written a review about anything in the past.
I ordered a Diamond pool table less than a year ago thru Keith Manning . I did it because of all the positive reviews I had read.
I got the table a few months ago. The table is exactly what I expected. As important was the service. Keith Manning was prompt , courteous , always available and a man of his word.
I’d never own another brand of table and I would always purchase thru Manning Pool tables.
"

Advantages: Both the table and the service were top notch.
I couldn’t ask for more.


Disadvantages: Absolutely NONE !!!!

Oct 13, 2016 by sergei kvartler about  Kamui 0.98B Chalk - 1 Cube:
"I definitely recommend trying out this chalk. As soon as you see it, you will notice it's not a normal chalk. Yes it is way more expensive than Master or Predator chalk but it speaks for itself. In the long run, it will last longer and you can notice the difference in playability. All you need to do is chalk your cue once and it will last you an entire game."

Jul 28, 2021 by Mike Kist about  Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table:
"I have been playing pool since I was about 10 years old. I have played on many types of tables in many different environments around the world. Over the years I became increasingly impressed with Diamond Pool Tables. Recently I purchased a brand new home and decided to finally purchase the table of my dreams to go along with it. I immediately decided to purchase a 9 foot Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table. The build quality, innovations, appearance and most importantly playability are simply the best in the world. There is a reason that this table has become the choice of so many professional pool players and tournament directors. The next decision was who to purchase it from. After performing extensive research and speaking with several of my contacts within the billiard community, I decided on Heath Manning of Manning Cues. It took one phone call to Heath to realize I had made the right decision. Heath took the time to answer all of my questions and addressed all of my concerns. At this point Heath did not even know if I was going to become a Manning Cues customer. In addition, there was absolutely zero sales pressure to purchase the table. This was an extremely expensive purchase and I wanted to make the right decision. The entire process was seamless and was executed perfectly. Heath worked with me to place the order, he kept me informed regarding the progress of the build and ultimately provided me with the delivery and installation date. In addition, Heath worked with Diamond to actually hold my table for an additional time period as my home build was delayed. It is very clear that Heath is dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service within the billiard industry. Heath even answers the phone himself! The final piece of the process was the delivery and installation. In line with my two previous decisions, this also was extremely important. You cannot consider this decision any less important than what table to purchase and who to purchase it from. Therefore, I decided to go with the Diamond Professional Delivery and Installation option. The Diamond Professional Delivery and Installation team arrived on time as scheduled at my home with my new Diamond Pro-Am pool table on Saturday, 24 July 2021. The Diamond Certified installer first outlined the entire delivery and install process to ensure that I was aware of what was going to take place. He then explained each and every step as it was completed and ensured that I was completely satisfied with the progress. This included the table placement to the final step of cleaning the table and the surrounding areas. Rick was extremely knowledgeable, professional and did a fantastic job. My Diamond Pro-Am Pool Table was installed perfectly with no issues. I would highly recommend purchasing the Diamond Professional Delivery and Installation option. THE BEST table made in the world with THE BEST installation. Go with Diamond, Heath Manning and Professional Installation all the way! There is nothing else to say!"

Aug 6, 2019 by Stan Shuffett about  Diamond Professional Pool Table:
"About 3 months ago I decided to replace my 25 year old Diamond Professional for a brand new Diamond Professional. My primary reason to trade for the acquisition of different table specs, primarily pocket size. I am glad to have the 4.75 specs for 14.1 as well as for teaching purposes. Also. it’s great to have the leveling system. I have a leveling system in my 10 foot Diamond and wanted one for my 9 foot table.
Heath Manning managed the entire transaction and indicated that I would have my table in 12 weeks. It only took 11 weeks. I am a satisfied customer of Manning Cues.
*Tyler Styer, USA top player, initially steered me to Manning Cues. Thanks Tyler!"
