where are you seeing the straight pool again? live stream looks like 8-ball here.
Thanks for the link to the very enjoyable Swedish 14.1 matches.
That table's corner pockets have the shallowest shelves I've ever seen on *any* table, which aside from whatever width the pocket might be, is generally a big "forgiving" factor for ease of ball pocketing. Actually great for long 14.1 runs but probably out of shelf-depth specs required for international 14.1 tournaments in some venues.
Don't know if it's the camera angle, but the right corner pocket even seems to have a slightly shallower shelf than the left one. Could be the way the long rail was bolted on (fractionally closer to the table's lengthwise centerline -- it would appear).

Right now the link points to a recording. Around 7 hours in there is a match with T. Storm. I assume that is Tom Storm. I've never seen him play before.
Hey Bob,
It was straight pool earlier this morning around 10am when I watched today.

Bob, the very first match on the video features Storm as well.
Tom Storm plays 14.1 like a storm. Many years ago Tom was in Finland for a tournament. In the evening the local guys were playing some small stake friendly matches with him and they made a bet that Tom couldn't run a 100 in 14.1 with 5 tries. I think it was his second or third try Tom ran over 200.
Storm really deserved to win that match, he was by far the better player. his opponent seemed obsessed with shooting off key balls and playing non patterns.
unfortunately, with those bucket-pockets, the cue ball found its way underground a few too many times...
