I’ll take you at face value JV. It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.
My GC4 got tight pocket 4.2 inch
I go to my friends who got pool tables also,
Diamond got 4.125 pockets
Prostar very tight got 4 inch pockets.
Ok, and hear this out, my table is the toughest out of them, I feel that GC plays the toughest if the pockets are the same size or even larger by a little, even my friends who have diamond & pro star came to my house and start wabbling balls.
Here's why [In my case]
My GC probably is used and the point where the rails connects to the pockets are alittle bit rounded almost like snooker, its not as rounded as snooker ofcourse, but just there is a curve roundness to it, instead of a pointy type of thing, it's hard for me to explain in words.
Where in the case of the prostar and diamond tables both of them have this pointy transition between the rail and the pocket, just like the pictures provided here in the forums.
Most people don't account for this to the hardness of the pocket because normal pool table should always have a straight transition when changing from the rail and to the pocket cut where the change should be just like a point, and not a curve.
For my table its a curve, which makes the table extremely hard.
