I asked this in the Pool Table structure forum but I am curious what the instructors think about this subject. I have 4.5" corners and 4 & 5/8" side pockets on my Brunswick Anniversary with new rails and SuperSpeed cushions. Definitely sure the side pockets will be changed to 5" or more shortly and I'm wondering if I should enlarge the corners while the mechanic is here doing the work before recovering the rails??
My teacher's table has 5" corners and 5.5" sides and he thinks I made a huge mistake making the pockets tighter than that. He teaches to divide the pocket up into 5 sections to acquire different shape positions. He says on my table, about 3 paths into the pocket would be all that is available. Seems to be an important point to consider.
Please respond with your thoughts and ideas and tell me how you would set up your personal table at home.
Thanks,
