"I ordered a spare Bushka shaft for my GB8 and requested that it be turned down to 12.5mm. Manning's did a beautiful job. I also ordered a Kamui medium tip which was expertly installed. When I get time I'll send them the original shaft to match it."

"I purchased a Diamond Pro-Am 9 foot pool table w/ 1 piece slate after owning a mid-level production table. A comparison would not be fair to the Diamond. It is world class in every way; from ordering, delivery & set up to the fit and finish; you will own the best pool table made. I had several friends at my house for the delivery; one friend, who is a carpenter, was impressed with the materials used to construct the table. While I could write an essay discussing the playability, Diamond pool tables are the best. Just save up and get one. Buy once, hurt once.
I chose to purchase my table from Health (Manning) after receiving several recommendations from people in the Dallas area. I also read several Facebook post from people who dealt with many different retailers. Everyone who ordered from Health spoke about his professionalism and personal engagement during their entire process. I can say their representation of Health’s customer service and product knowledge was accurate. Health was a model of what exceptional customer service should be when ordering your dream Diamond Pool Table. BTW, he is just a nice person; you can really feel that he wants you to have the best experience possible.

"I just can't speak highly enough about Heath and manning cues as a company. I was in a bind and needed this felt asap. Heath went out of his way to make sure I was covered and even made the time to keep me posted on the status of my order. I'm thrilled they are in business. "
Advantages: Well I already said it but the advantage is the company you buy from and if they do what they say they will do. Champion tour edition felt doesn't really need a review. It's good felt for a good price. It has been used for a long time in many pool halls and bars. IMO it is a economical solution for those places where the felt is replaced on frequent basis.
Disadvantages: It is not always in stock from some of the larger suppliers and can take days to ship. Order from somewhere that cares and has it in stock.

"Great Experience. Ordered my table on New Year's Eve after deciding to purchase the table through Heath. In the weeks prior to my purchase, Heath quickly and professionally answered all of my questions and ensured that I got the best price for my table. Despite a few hiccups during the delivery processes (table, cues, and cover), everything was handled professionally and the table plays like a dream. This is by far the nicest pool table I have ever played on. Everything about the table is stunning - cloth, rails, top rails, skirts, rack holder, and bridge holder.
Manning's Diamond Professional installers were extremely qualified, friendly, and professional during the installation process. The installers had no trouble getting the 3-piece slate 9' table into my third floor room. The table was delivered the week that I anticipated it, but a few days earlier than ideal. The timing that Heath had coordinated with me was not the timing that the installers were planning (they were off by 2 days, not terrible). The only reason this was a bit cumbersome was due to a sudden emergency that made me unavailable in the morning that they wanted to come. Additionally, the installers had transportation issues (leaf spring broke on their trailer) during the drive and were unable to arrive in the morning as planned. As a result, the installers arrived in the evening around 630PM and worked until about 10PM perfectly installing and leveling my table. The installation process went perfectly and everything about the table is stunning - cloth, rails, top rails, skirts, rack holder, and bridge holder. The installers were happy to talk during the installation process and I had a great experience working with them.
Thank you, Heath Manning."

"To Whom It May Concern: The Mezz Dual Force Break Jump No Wrap, is an elegant and standing cue for those whom prefer light weight, class and quality, the best; the light weight brakes are excellent on the break with the proper control and velocity generated, as well are the jump's, the fines and easy I ever used and control. I am, 61 and been playing since five."
Advantages: The follow up and service that you will receive from Manning is great!
Disadvantages: The quick release does turns to jam as is treated in and you may need to use a reverse turn to treat it in forward.

"I want to give you my review of the newly-received McDermott SL-11 Carbon Fiber Cue with the DEFY 12mm tip.
I took it to a pool hall, having never played there, and found the new cue very lively from the get-go. It was easy putting English on the cue ball, either left or right and putting a draw back on the cue ball.
What I have been told by the owner of the pool hall to keep in mind when using the carbon fiber cue as opposed to a cue with a wood shaft is to not pull back and jab at a shot, rather, pull back slowly and follow through slowly to let the shaft do the work.
As I am just working my way back into the game like I have never done before, most everything I do is a learning experience to me. I do feel very confident that this new SL-11 will make me a better player than I am. I feel very comfortable with McDermott products. I also feel very comfortable with Manning Cues and especially Amy with all her knowledge and expertise.
I am going to be a regular Manning Cue customer from this day forward.
Jerry Rogers"

"Heath is the "go to billiard supply provider". He has an abundance of experience in shooting pool and draws his wisdom from it to get to openly give honest, unselfish recommendations. Then, your order is processed quickly & economically. I no longer order from the other big online suppliers, since he will bust his butt to get whatever weird stuff you may want."
Advantages: Free online billiard coaching thru videos. Come on guys, lets give Heath our pay back for his efforts. It is only fair. Heath has earned my business with his "one-to-one" help on the phone.
Disadvantages: None! Heath will work with you on price to match others.

"This table is second to none. This purchase of Pro Am table and cover has been the most enjoyable of all time. Heath Manning is the reason. Thru out the 2 month process he has upon several occasions promptly answered all of my concerns and questions in a kind and professional manner. The table was delivered 3 weeks early YAHOO!"
Advantages: I am tickled with the solidness of the banks, how easy it is to maintain its levelness and its tastefulness in design. The Diamond Certified installers were knowledgeable, curtious and fast while providing a quality install. Id say in and out in less than 2 hours.
Disadvantages: A slight bit noisy ball return system. Have added some extra sound absorbing.

"As a pool player for 50 plus years and a cue repair person I have used just about every tip available and the black Kamui is in my opinion the best on the market. They provide maximum ball control without effort that allows you to concentrate on your stroke and shot instead of having to manipulate additional effort out of the cue ball. As a repairman they cut amazingly well."
Advantages: Ball spin and control, consistency in hardness from tip to tip, extreme low maintenance during play, holds chalk well. Competitive price for a premium tip that speaks for it's self. I use them everyday on my own cue.
Disadvantages: None

"For the price it is an exceptional cue. I would and have promoted this cue to other players."
Advantages: Looks for one...It breaks very hard but the jump section is really the best part of this cue...you jump with ease.
Disadvantages: The main joint needs to have a collar for additional strength, especially if you break hard as I do.

"Years ago,more than 40,I bought a Two piece Dufferin cue while I was in Canada .I always liked it but sold it to a friend who also shot with it .It was wrapped with a walnut handle.Recently I decided to buy something nice and settled on the G407.I have another old McDermott which has been fine for 35 years and still is.I love the look of this cue.It shoots really well and hits great.Control is excellent and I feel the G-core has lessened squerve a great deal.I look forward to many victories with this cue. Heath Manning took care of me quickly and kept me in the loop every step of the way.Thanks,Heath !"
Advantages: Beautiful and reasonably priced .Finish is excellent and hits accurately .
Disadvantages: Wasn't free ! Heh,heh . Sorry,can not think of any.BTW,just because it has no wrap,it is not slippery to hold.
