they were wide but many were tight. but not as tight as modern tourny tables..

but if pockets are too wide and loose just aim to one side for practice, that will help you more with aiming then hanging bobbled balls on tight pockets

yea against a stronger player if you play your reglular game you are doomed to lose. you must adjust to put more luck in your game and have a chance to win. although more times than not you will also lose by a bigger score if that matters to you.

Sorry for being a lifelong pool guy and asking this question, but…can you tell me about the tables they play hey ball on? Size, ball size what’s different than a traditional American table. Thx

Long ago and far away, well when Diamond 7 foot tables first arrived in my hometown, I found a 9 ball break that on occasion made the 9 ball in the side. Using a template rack and setting the cueball 2 inches off center and hit it square so that whitey comes straight back about 6 inches. The rear ball rebounds off the foot rail and returns to hit the 9 which stays unmoved till that contact. I found that the rear ball came back and moved the 9 ball towards the side or even the .corner. it wasn't a sure thing but when I played John Schmidt in a race to 2 nine ball tournament, it was worth a try .....and it worked. Making the 9 in the side on the snap was a fun way to open the match. As he repacked, I got "the look". Was that pure luck? Or did he know that break. Was how I interpreted the look. I knew it only worked on occasion but short cuts are my favorite strategy, especially against a stronger player.
