The Diamond Numbering System

The common numbering language used throughout the Diamond Deck and Pool Practice Cards ecosystem. Same table. Same diamonds. Same numbering.

Why One Numbering Language?

Many classic diamond systems each come with their own way of numbering the rails. The Diamond Deck approach avoids memorizing unrelated numbering conventions for different systems: you learn one way of reading the table and keep it for every card, every shot family and every practice tool.

How the Table Is Numbered

Long rail: diamonds numbered 1 through 8.
Short rail: diamonds numbered 1 through 4.
Values are read relative to the shooter’s orientation.

Where the Numbering Is Used

The same numbering appears in the Diamond Deck printed cards, the Pool Practice Cards app and the Pool Table Projection System. It is the foundation of the 3.5–11–6 Unified Diamond System, developed by Yuriy Setko. Try it on a real table with Free Pool Table Projection System.
