Where do you actually measure the pocket to determinde what size opening you have. Is it at the tit to tit? is it at the center of the pocket (side to side), or at the backend at the drop shelf. I have a Olhausen 9ft, 1997 Monarch.
Thanks,

point to point
but the other measurements do matter

here is what the wpa has to say:

"The pocket openings for pool tables are measured between opposing cushion noses where the direction changes into the pocket (from pointed lip to pointed lip). This is called mouth.

Corner Pocket Mouth: between 4.5 [11.43 cm] and 4.625 inches [11.75 cm]
Side Pocket Mouth: between 5 [12.7 cm] and 5.125 inches [13.0175 cm]
*The mouth of the side pocket is traditionally ½ inch [1.27 cm] wider than
the mouth of the corner pocket."
