Quick question. Are 142.5 degree corner pocket facing angles acceptable for a brand new pro cut Diamond from the factory?
New Pro Cut Diamond
- Thread starter peppersauce
- Start date
Pro cut, so 4.5”.
Take a look at this thread.
Pay particular attention to what realkingcobra says.
At one point he mentions how tight the cloth is pulled can skew measurements, but mentions another way to measure.

Edit: I deleted my long winded response because I just talked to my friend. I mentioned the cloth being pulled too tight at the corners and to check it with a straight edge months ago. He responded that the facings looked straight. I assumed he actually checked them like I recommended. He did not. Also, I thought he told me he had new cloth put on the rails to make sure this wasn’t the issue. Apparently, I misheard because he did not do that either. I finally got him to reach out to Glen and what does Glen say? Put a straight edge on the facing and check it. So my friend does, makes a video of his facings, and sends me a message saying, “Didn’t you mention something like this before?” Yes. Yes I mentioned exactly this before.
All that being said, it doesn’t look too bad to my untrained eyes. I don’t know that the tiny amount of bow that his facings have would make it play like it does. I told him to send the video to Glen. I think I’m done trying to help. He’ll figure out whatever he figures out.
Thanks for the responses. Sorry I didn’t have my info correct about the situation.

No mechanic but based on the TDF scales 142.5 and 4.5ProCut would make for one tough sob. Still playable but awful snug for average shooters. And i would agree too tough to enjoy straights on. 14.1 is a ball running/flow game and tight wickets ruins it imo. You play way more straight than i'll ever play but that table is too tuff for 14.1 to be fun.
