The billiard table diamonds, which are often dots rather than diamonds, are placed on the rails to divide the table. The foot string, head string, and table center are found by using the diamonds. In addition, they can be used to determine bank shot calculations. Their distance from playing surface points allow them to be used for more accurate aim and calculations for difficult shots. There are more than 100 published "diamond systems" to calculate bank shots using the diamonds.
There are many pool games that can be played on a pool table. Some pool table games include eight-ball, nine-ball, three-ball, one-pocket, and bank pool.
The diamonds were introduced to the billiards table in France. All tables that are properly constructed will have the diamonds in the same locations, whether American, French, English or others today. The diamonds are first used to mark or divide the table for center, foot, and head. During play, the diamonds are used using different methods to calculate bank shots. There are more than 100 diamond systems to do this.

There are no mushrooms on a billiard or pool table. A bumper pool table has mushrooms, although these are rarely found in bars today. The typical bumper pool table has 8 center mushrooms and 2 at each end.
The dot is halfway between the second set of diamonds (from the end) on the long sides of the table. The "dot", or "spot" as it is more commonly called, goes on the imaginary "foot string", and is where the balls are typically racked. You can see a diagram explaining this in the Related links section, below.
No. Pool table felt is a specialized felt designed specifically for pool tables. There are many variations of table felt and each will react differently with the balls, and each has a differnt lifespan on the table. Use of felt not designed for pool table use will result in poor play at best, and will quickly be destroyed at worst.

If you play "behind the diamonds," then he has to place it behind the second diamond on the pool table on the side that you broke from. You can also set the rules to what we call "Malaysian Style," and place the ball anywhere. It's your choice.
