played on a valley 8' yesterday
4.5 pockets downtable, but 4.25 in the opposite corners, with the throat angle pointed inward
4.5 sides.
my guess is whoever fixed the table, thought of folks playing downtable games
like 1hole and 14.1- ?

Shitty job. Simple as that.

Much more likely whoever worked on the table did not know what they were doing. I used to play league in a place with an 8 footer that had crooked side pockets, they did not line up to each other, one was a full ball off the opposite one.

How is that even possible?

I suppose it would take a special diamond system.

I really have no idea but they managed it LOL

I have some pictures in my storage but it has been a while since I was there so they may be a bit of work to find.

Till I find it, here are some clowns playing pool, from a charity tournament for Shriner's me and my clown team-mate won, my son and his clown came in second :)
