One of the things that I see a lot of disagreement on in the pool world, even among extremely strong and knowledgeable players, is whether tighter or looser pockets favor the stronger or weaker player, and under what circumstances they feel it favors each if they feel it varies.
For some people their opinion varies depending on factors such as the game being played, the relative speeds of each player, exactly how loose or how tight of pockets you are talking about, the spot that is being given, the specific strengths and weaknesses of each player, and other factors. In your opinion, under exactly which circumstances and situations do you feel that tighter or looser pockets most benefits the stronger or weaker player, and why?
