Definition of Diamonds
Diamonds is a billiards term that is a part of Pool Table Terminology.
Billiard diamonds are the dots along the rails which divide them into even increments. These markings, which are usually inset into the surface outside of the rail cushions, are commonly used as target or as reference points. There are normally three equally spaced diamonds between each pocket on a regulation pool table. These are called diamonds because of their diamond-like shape. Regardless of the shape of the markings, however, any rail markers are referred to as diamonds.
