What size pockets for 14.1

Pocket Size?

Can someone tell me at what point of the pocket that you measure at to get the size? I want to see what my table is set at.
Thanks.

I believe the proper way to measure a pocket is from point to point at the front of the pocket. I'm sure some one will correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct. When people are referring to pocket size they are typically talking about the measurement at the mouth (point to point) rather than at the throat (point to point where the ball falls in the hole). The measurement at the throat depends on the angle the facings are cut at.

Do you mean from the point of the cushion rail (the tidy) to the other point
of the cushion rail? I wish someone would post a diagram.
