Pocket opening size?

I have a Gandy big G, and the the pocket size is generous. I picked up an older Brunswick and the pockets are a little smaller.

Is there a regulation pocket size and what is the size on tournament quality tables? I measured mine and the front of the opening is around 5" tapers to 4" at the back.

Thanks in advance.



Never mind, don't know why I didn't think to google it first. Duh.... Found this info and thought I would share it with others here who might not know, or who just might be curious to know.

Here are the official pocket specs from the WPA:

The pocket openings for pool tables are measured between opposing cushion noses where the direction changes into the pocket (from pointed lip to pointed lip). This is called mouth.

Corner Pocket Mouth: between 4.5 [11.43 cm] and 4.625 inches [11.75 cm]
Side Pocket Mouth: between 5 [12.7 cm] and 5.125 inches [13.0175 cm]
*The mouth of the side pocket is traditionally ½ inch [1.27 cm] wider than
the mouth of the corner pocket.
