So I just did something that is only possible on a valley. I made two balls side by side at once. At least I'm assuming this is only possible on a valley where the pockets are super big. Or the rails are cut differently or what not. Or is this possible elsewhere? Is this possible on other tables? I know it's not possible on the diamond that I play on. But I'm not sure what cut those Pockets have.

As long as the pockets are greater than 4.5" then both balls can go in side by side. If they are slightly skewed then 4.5 or less will go in. Regardless of brand.

what other tables are set up by default this way?
So I'm assuming those are specific tables set up for straight pool?
Diamond tables come in pro cut (4.5") or league cut (4.75")
Slightly off topic but Corey plays a game occasionally where he breaks and then tries to make all the balls in as few strokes as possible. I dont think balls on the break count. Anyway he was amazing-far outclassing anyone else who tried. I saw him do it in 11 shots-Id like to see this game played again-There's action every shot.
so could you make two balls side by side in a corner pocket on a league cut diamond table?

are those regulation size balls? I will have to check this on the valley I have. I don't think it's possible.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
Balls are 2.25". 2.25+2.25= 4.5. You have a quarter inch to spare. Center pocket is center pocket, what more could a guy ask for. You could drive a bus through a quarter inch if you get it right.

Everyone assumes every valley has huge pockets but there are tons with normal or pro pockets that guys play on. The super wide pockets were made to make more revenue for a business cause it makes the game faster which men's more games per night. Any reputable league or tournament venue won't use those wide pockets and always put the tighter pockets via new rails or thicker rail pads.
