different pocket dimensions on a bar table..why?

[evergruven]

played on a valley 8' yesterday
4.5 pockets downtable, but 4.25 in the opposite corners, with the throat angle pointed inward
4.5 sides.
my guess is whoever fixed the table, thought of folks playing downtable games
like 1hole and 14.1- ?

sounds like alcohol was involved

Much more likely whoever worked on the table did not know what they were doing. I used to play league in a place with an 8 footer that had crooked side pockets, they did not line up to each other, one was a full ball off the opposite one.

How is that even possible?

I suppose it would take a special diamond system.

I have some pictures in my storage but it has been a while since I was there so they may be a bit of work to find.
