small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

I’m not so sure that what the pros play on has squadousch to do with the vast majority of us here or anywhere else.

And, having been to my share of big events, I’m not so sure smaller pockets are as prevalent as some here are trying to say.

Having said that, there was a time in my life when I would practice with pool balls on a 10’ Brunswick snooker table; beaten the locals on 4” pockets on their pet 1pocket table at Comet Billiards in NJ; and won a local 1pocket event in St Louis when we briefly had a room on the East side with 4” pockets.

IOWs, I get it, but when the pockets are too small it’s not pool and it ain’t teeing off the black tees. You end up having to play something else.

Is it possible to throw an object ball? Nope

Yes, static friction (frozen balls) is stronger than kinetic friction (moving balls), so frozen balls throw more, but that doesn't mean moving balls don't throw - the difference is only fractional. It may also be that the force of the collision adds enough friction to make up the difference (I'm not sure about this).
As far as being fractional, specify your fraction. Not to be argumentative but if anyone here wants to have a solid foundation in this area of physics then we can look up a graph of static vs kinetic friction. The difference is striking. So I almost never come to an absolute stop in vehicles...it is like a game to try to avoid the final static brake grab...which is not possible.

Help identifying a table

Need help identifying this table please! 8ft purchased by my parents sometime around 1992, no labels/markings that they are able to find on it. If it can not be identified, what would you sell something like this for? It is in immaculate shape - very well cared for, always covered when not in use. Thinking about moving it from AZ to KS, but not sure if its worth the cost (quoted $5-10k by "white glove" professionals, ~$4k for PODS) to move... might just sell it and buy something else here. Appreciate any help!
Sell it, put it towards another table.
