Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

Whether someone is dominating running packs or there is a well thought out safety battle, the vast majority of people are not going to think it's exciting. I like playing a lot but I don't think watching that's exciting. If were to choose I'd rather watch players have a good safety battle than players slop balls into 5 inch pockets.

Someone with a good safety game knows how to control the cue ball. That's pool and most of us could learn something watching it.
True, but it's the masses that don't play the game that need to be ''led to water''.
They don't want to learn, they want to enjoy the show.
More viewers, more money and in turn more great players.
No billiard room owner wants pro cut 4 1/4'' diamond bar tables for the drinking/socializing patrons, for Obvious reasons.
AI.... is change, I don't like it but who's to say I'm right?
Pool is boring for the general public, as is chess, but making it exciting by changing/Evolving how can that be bad.
It's almost like your saying the public would love to watch one pocket matches....

small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

I played at HoB several times and don't recall 4" pockets, maybe 4.25".

At another room, in Burbank, I think they had GCs with 5" pockets. HTs certainly didn't have 4" pockets. (Their snooker table had some itty bitty pockets, lol.) And though I only played there once I'm pretty sure Stix in Ventura did not have 4" pockets, maybe 4.5".

Lastly, I recently played at CA Billiards in Fremont and felt they came in at a reasonable 4.5".
