I made two balls at once only on a valley.

I can make three in the side. To illustrate I set up the balls close to the pocket, and used the 1,2 & 3 to make it easier to count.

Who the hell refelted your table? They butchered the side pockets with those rookie folds

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

Aren't Valley sides usually smaller?
They definitely got me a few times.

Yes valley side pockets are actually tighter cause of angle

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.

Until about twenty years ago you could drop two balls at the same time on well over 90 percent of all pool tables out there. Slowly the pockets have been getting shimmed tighter and tighter.

I play on a 4.5" pocket 9' Diamond at home.
It's a weird feeling when playing at some friends houses (and especially loose Valleys) when a shot drops that I know would've missed at home.

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.

I wish I could live in your world. Even the pool hall has super wide Valley pocket tables.

I'm redoing a valley I just bought and pockets are already at 4-3/8" pockets using 1/8" end facings.
