Correction: balls do "rattle" in my pockets, but they don't "wobble"
Last week I started a thread titled "I love the pockets on my Gold Crown IV" I proceeded to inform the forum that I purchased a used GC 14 months ago and had the sub rails extended and the pockets tightened to 4-3/8" by a highly respected Chicago area mechanic named Jerimy Chambers.
I further proceeded to inform the forum that balls did not "rattle in these pockets ; rather, the ball would either decisively drop, or be firmly rejected.
I then asked the forum if these " rattle-less" pockets were a new advancement in the evolution of pool tables.
There are 52,543 members in AZ. 52,540 of those members did not reply.
Please be patient as I attempt to clarify that which must have been bewildering to a few
Five things happen when I shoot: ( At least when I don't miss by a mile)
1: The ball goes straight in without hitting a facing.
2:The OB hits the facing and drops without hitting the other facing.
3:The OB hits the point somewhat on the "inner" side and hits the opposite point on the inner side, after which it drops.
4:The OB hits the point somewhat on the inner side, hits the opposite point somewhat on the inner side, then hits the facing on the 1st side, after which it drops.
5:The OB hits the point "Flush." It then hits the opposite point, comes back and hits the first point, and is then sent towards the center of the table. Depending on the speed of the shot, it can be sent a millimeter, or it can a be sent all the way to the center of the table.
Occasionaly, but rarely, does anything happen which deviates from the 5 happenings described.
What I should have said in my first thread, is that I have pockets that don't allow for ANY WOBBLING, and asked if this was a new development in the evolution of pool tables.
