Looks about 4 1/4 to me. And yes, that's pretty tight. Shelf depth appears to be about average.
See what else you can find out.

This is why I play from the red tees
balls aren't placed against the pocket corners so it's hard to tell without utilizing a computer program

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
That's just ignorant. Unless they are playing 1P no table should be that tight.
That looks under 4" from the picture. Nuts.
From there facebook page, that table is a 7ft bar box. Comparing it to a english 8 ball table, For people to try. Not sure what there standard cash steel pockets are.
They definitely look better, than the old sam tables they had. They used to play very tight aswell.

These look like 4 inchers no overhang either.
Sorry thats what i meant, clash steel.your definitely right on the tournament tables. This is what i read:
No interest in playing on tables like that - I play six hours a week - maybe - not six hours a day.
The perversion of our pool game continues. It's the "player's" fault, imo, for thinking tight pockets give an edge to better players, and take away some more luck. Diamond standardized it with their "pro-cut" pockets and mile deep shelf. Now other table manufacturers think its a good idea and take it even further.
All it does is make the game more boring, and its a boring sport to begin with.
In all my years of playing, the guys that wanted the tightest tables might have had a lifetime run of 140 in straight pool and 6 racks in 9 ball. That was just one or two players that at least could legitimately play. The rest of the people would be like a 520-600 today that insisted tight pockets are good.
