Since none of you have even come close to the real effects of an out of line playing surface I'll explain the real effects, even though it's minor. On a 9ft for example, a playing surface with the dementions less than 50"×100" like say 49 3/4" ×99 3/4" it adds a 1/4" to the pocket shelfs making them deeper, whereas if the playing surface is say 50 1/4"× 100 1/4" it decreases the pocket shelf depths by making them a 1/4" more shallow.

You need to have the rails cut and calibrated to fit the new super speed cushions if you don't do that then your rail sights will be a little off. I recommend Jack Zimmerman he does excellent work. Him and James have just got done restoring my Brunswick Anniversary 9 ft table
So you are saying if I want a table to play more difficult I would want a shallower pocket shelf and a deeper pocket shelf will play easier????
I find that hard to believe but I will certainly investigate that. I always thought Valley pockets played easier than Diamonds because of the short pocket shelf even though the pockets are very close in width. Who woulda thought that a ball sitting in the jaws of the pocket would be harder to make when 70% of the ball is visible??? That is all news to me but everything on the interweb is true from what I have heard.
That just cannot be true Glen, I was informed by low500 that pocket shelf depth is meaningless.
