I am buying a GC1, it comes with standard pockets and original Monarch rubber, which I think are pretty wide (4.75-5)?
I am relatively new to the game and not good by any means - probably an APA 4/5. Does it make sense to stick with these pockets for a few years until I get better and then try to get the professionally tightened up by a reputable mechanic, or does it make sense to do it now before I get it installed? I obviously want a table that will help me improve my skills, but I also probably have plenty to improve on at my level even with standard big pockets.
Thoughts?
