They look like they are cut for bar table use, along with new cloth there is likely not to be too many missed shots.
Mosconi Cup table pockets look over 4.5"

Shane may have to disagree with you, unfortunately!
Ouch, Albin just dogged an easy one too. He would have needed 7" pockets though.
Yes I saw that miss, was pretty bad even for a B player LOL
Shots going in hitting of the second diamond what a joke.
It's not the pockets - it's the lack of a shelf. When they use the overhead camera, the center of the shelves of these pockets practically come out to the points. This makes it almost impossible to rattle a ball in the pocket.
Seems kind of silly to have world class players play on a table like this for a much hyped competition. Sucks actually......

Agreed, an embarrassment.
Personally I'd like to see them a little less generous so the odd pressure shot is missed as that adds to the excitement.
If a guys played a bad shot, it's a bad shot, seems a shame to see it hit half way up the cushion and still drop.
Still good to watch though.

Yeah, I could not believe some of those shots that went in off of the rail, instead of clean. That would never happen on a Diamond with good rails.

It was unbelievable to me. The tables were playing like the Valley 8 foot tables that I grew up playing on. The rails and pockets were so forgiving. Hard to miss anything on those.

Pockets are tight but the rubber is soft and it slides real bad, along with new cloth, lights, it plays really easy. But if your shooting a ball into pocket no rail they are pretty small.

A Diamond with new cloth and hot lights on it will play loose. New cloth helps the ball slide into the pocket. Even with "good rails".
They do have that short shelf too. Lots of balls that would hang on a Diamond don't have to make it as deep into the pocket to fall on these tables.
Thanks for the insight! Love hearing it direct from someone playing on it!
Also, good shooting yesterday!! You and Sky played well together and got us on the board!
