I was thinking it should be around 3rd diamond but I guess I will leave it. I was just thinking if I needed to adjust anything now would be the time since I am re clothing and reglueing one rail cushion. Thanks for the info everyone!
The third diamond to get to the corner works on pool tables when the cloth is brand new and slippery. I think that HR has a lot less of the brand-new slip. On carom tables, three usually works to get to the corner from the corner.
But your use of the term is backwards. A pool table where you shoot to 3 (corner-5 system, corner to corner, standard calibration shot) is considered to play "long". A table where you have to shoot to 1, such as the table I mentioned above, is said to play very "short".
Whether those labels make sense or not is a good discussion. Mike Shamos in his huge illustrated dictionary of billiard terms does not list any reference to short/long prior to Byrne's first book. Shamos has a good definition of whether a rail plays short/long: if you need more running side spin than expected on a cushion to get the desired angle off the cushion, the cushion is said to play "short".
