small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

To you. I have no ingrained gamesmanship and welcome the difficulty. To me it's a productive endeavor. There for sure is more shooting to learn than being a gamester allows.

What degree of tightest are you speaking of?

IMO, you can go too far and ruin the game — you have to be able to work the CB a bit for position to play real pool. If it’s all about just pocketing the ball you lose that.

There needs to be balance between pocketing balls with accuracy and enough room to work the CB, IMO.

One thing I have learned over the years is that nothing stays the same.

I have been to pool halls that had 4.5" pockets, only to come back and find smaller pockets. Gone to other rooms filled with nice GCs and find half the room is GCs and the other half Diamonds.

IOWs, thngs change. When went to HOB I did not encounter any 4" pockets.

Don't know about Aloha, Ibertad, Crenshaw, Alhambra, or Sherman Oaks. In any case, people do stupid shit and ruin the game -- enjoy if you can.

It's just aesthetics to me. Same thing happened with everything that's ever been for public consumption. Food, cars, music's a good model. The product can even be considered an entirely different product now.

I’m just trying to make a point that a lot of rooms here have 4” pockets and plenty of patronage and action. I live here and frequent the rooms. Not sure why people are trying to argue with me. Don’t care anymore ✌🏼

The room is gone — I’ve been around to many, many rooms all over the country from Seattle to, Montana, to SoCal, to NorCal, to AZ, to Atlanta, to Chicago, to Kansas, to Kentucky, to the north East Coast, to NYC, to NOLA, to FL, and more.

A few tournaments too.

Played on tables with all sizes pockets.

Played at HoB. Nice room.
