tedkaufman said:Last year at the Nationals in Oregon I asked Steve Tiften what the pocket size was and he told me 5". Somewhere I read the WPBA was going to smaller pockets for this season, but I don't have any confirmation.

Still, because the cloth is fast and the rails are ridiculously slidy, these tables just don't play tight. Pocket size isn't everything when it comes to assessing the difficulty of playing conditions.
tedkaufman said:I agree about the cloth and rails determining how wide a pocket plays. As for my question to Steve last year at the Nationals, he told me the corners were 5". And they looked huge, which is why I asked him.
This has to be a joke right? I mean come on, what the heck does that even mean?travis trotter said:well if you shoot fast you will make balls go in the pockets i have a pocket extender for my pool table
