4 1\2 or 4 3\4

[Colormegone2002]

for your purposes stick with the larger pockets
you and your friends will have more fun
also the size of the pocket has nothing to do with how straight your stroke is or how well can you control the cue ball
those are the skills you need improve which you can practice on any table regardless of pocket size
i would also say imho as you get better on those skills your accuracy in pocketing balls will improve and you would adjust to a tighter table

I think 4 3\4 it is then. Thank you everyone. You all made very good points.At

first I liked the idea of 4 1\2 and now after this discussion,I have changed my mind.

Now I can't wait for being able to get the rails to someone and have the work performed.
