I will return and post photos. The CP at Blue Fin is just under 4” and side pocket just under 5”.

The Pro Pocket Reducers shrink the pocket down to just about 2.75” & the OB measures 2.25”

As I earlier wrote, it’s maniacal but you can pocket balls. Naturally, remove the PPR & the pockets
In comparison will appear & play like a manhole opening in comparison, even with 4” CP pool tables.

Here's the side pocket photos of the front tables at Blue Fin where I regularly play.
I want stingy pockets pockets on a pool table instead of generous, easy pockets.

If I could get Tommy to convert BF's 10' snooker table to pocket billards with CP
pockets measuring 3.75" & SP 4.75", it would be just ideal. That would definitely
separate the strongest players from rest of the field and truly test everyone's skills.

I wish they made the side pocket reducers differently so the face of the reducer aligns with the face of the cushion. I've wondered if I'm installing them correctly...

I normally only use a single pocket reducer to work on dialing in a single shot I'm working on. Specifically finding the perfect aim point for center pocket.

Afterwards it's much easier to judge aim point for which side of the pocket I intend to hit.

I probably have less then 10 hours table time under my belt this year. This morning put a pocket reducer in to check out my stroke and missing pockets by a diamond length. Couldn't even get a ball to hit the pocket reducer. Hung the cue up and had a beer.

My 3 minute practice session for the month with the pocket reducer. Was in a hurry to get back to my beer while it was still cold. I'm back to banger status. lol

We can get together and hit some if your serious. I work on weekends and night shift, Mondays or Tuesdays are best for me. My schedule really sucks. I think your from the DC area? It would be a couple hour trip, but would be good break in miles for my new truck. I don't care where we shoot, but I'm a nit when it comes to parking spots and people bumping into my truck. lol
