Here's what they do to control/check pocket size for snooker. They have a larger problem than pool because the facings are curved.
Pro Pocket Size TOO Small for 9 Ball

Speak for yourself, I love it, actually I made my table 3.9" and it doesn't stop me from running out. Adjust to the conditions, just because they get scared doesn't mean anything, incentivise going for it or change the rules if you think it's too boring when people choose safeties.
Way more exciting, that's why we had so many live events you could watch anywhere in the world, and why the pro tours were so lucrative.
All the B, C, and D players love the tight pockets
Room owners don't....
I still think 800 fargos should be playing with all the balls and BIH for incoming shooter after any miss by opponent.
I love how they say template. They need to learn how to speak English!
And yet the players say that the tables in the Chinese events are considerably looser and that the tables for the majors in the UK are tighter than the regular UK tour events.
Maybe the Chinese fitters don’t use the template, but I don’t know what the answer is for the UK events.

The key to me is that WNT events are played with new cloth and balls. 4” pockets with new cloth is way different than worn cloth and dirty balls.
So a pool hall puts in super tight pockets and for 2 weeks it’s cool. Then the table gets worn and even great players aren’t running out.

want tight pockets?? Play your pool games on a carom table.....games last for hours!!!
I happen to like watching the best players navigate the run outs and safety play on today's equipment. It separates the men from the boys.
The different games and match lengths add variety to the mix. My only objections are ball colors with the WNT events and playing open table in Eight Ball after making a ball on the break - WPA. "Take what you make" adds a higher level of skill to the game. Open table makes it pretty much a foregone conclusion after a ball is made on the break. It makes it a breaking contest.

I once played a game of 9 ball on a carom table. It's like playing chess against a grand master, eventually, I had to concede.
seems like a great guy that loves the game, but the slurred speech is a bit too much at this point. i mute.
