Not going to Bentleyise it?
Not a bad idea!
Bentley’s drive MUCH better. But the gap is closing on that a bit.
I’ve had that car 14 years and it’s got 5500 miles on it. It’s a waste of $. I don’t drive much anyways but that car drives worse than just about any car I’ve owned. Looks cool, that’s it.
On the topic of GC’s the only thing to do is extend the rails a bit to make a 1P pocket profile. Otherwise leave them be! I’d never modify a GC. Against my religion

White on white in white convert has potential.

A casual player isn't going to miss more or less from 5'' pockets to 4.5'' or even 4.25'' especially when they are hitting center ball or playing up and down English. If they aren't that good than they won't even notice. If they are good enough to pocket balls on 5'' then they are good enough for 4.25''.
The only people they affect are players like us that play a lot and know how to apply every English at the cue ball with throw and deflection in mind. All those times when we would rattle the ball because of the English used that throws the ball off its path -or- cheat the pocket.
I would recommend getting whatever size, you as the owner, would prefer to play on.
I play on 4.25 pockets and I'm use to it. I do think 4 would get tricky and probably eliminate a lot of shots towards the side pocket.

if you truly believe the bolded parts above i think you are very wrong!!!!!
the casual player is not very accurate and needs the extra margin of error the bigger pocket gives them.
all the balls they slop in on the 5 inch pocket would never go on a 4.5 inch and for sure on a 4.25 inch pocket

(have you ever considered adopting, I need parents)
Well, in a way he's right, depending on how you do the math.
On a loose table, the weak player misses maybe 20% of his shots. The champ misses 2%..
On the tight table, the weak player misses 30% of his shots, but the champ misses 5%..
I haven't done the stats, but I would expect the result to be similar to that. By number of misses, the weak player is hurt more, missing 10 more in every hundred shots. By the ratio of misses, the champ is hurt more, as he misses more than twice as often on the hard table.

billiards_watch said the misses would be the same
which it seems you agree is not correct
how the table effects the better player was not part of the discussion.
That’s my house, I had to downsize a couple times. I’ve been very lucky. I’m actually selling that house and leaving Ca. I had a crazy huge house in Vegas until 2011 or 12.Holy $h!t Fatboy, if that's your home (its beautiful) I shouldnt even be conversing with you, you are leagues beyond my social standing!!!!!!
It’s not a happy ending, that house in the pic is by far the most comfortable move to live in house I’ve ever lived in, it’s not near the most expensive or largest. Bigger isn’t more comfortable-so I’ve been told
. Ok that’s a lie, nobody told me that ever……LA sucks these days, I’m bored to tears living there. Staying home is amazing, beyond that it’s not good. My insurance went up from 12K a year to 145K. And the cost of living in LA is just too much for what it’s became. So I left. It’s in escrow now. I wish I could take it with me and set it somewhere else.
I bought that house in the pic from Dr Dre in 2019. When I’m officially out of there I’ll post pics and the address. Never met Dre, he owned it 21-22 years. That just the back story-kinda cool. I also have 2 sets of pool balls he left I’ll post pics of, they are customized with his name on them. I sold his table. Was a 8’ POS home table.
I still owe you a pm, I haven’t forgot. I pop on here make a post and bounce out. I need to write you

Im curious.
Play 25 racks. Break and take ball in hand. How many times do you run out from there?
Get in line, dick!!Holy $h!t Fatboy, if that's your home (its beautiful) I shouldnt even be conversing with you, you are leagues beyond my social standing!!!!!!
I want in but need to discuss what kind of pool you're talking about.Everyone is invited!!! Pool party
I would say probably one.
As I've repeatedly said, I get the most difficult spreads imaginable. If prime Efren tried to run out from my breaks he'd give the game up.
All of the above. Nothing weird!I want in but need to discuss what kind of pool you're talking about.
