Pocket pictures?

[TrxR]

Looking for pictures of Diamond table pockets in 4.5" and 4.25" preferably with a couple of pool balls side by side in the mouth of the pocket.

Thanks

This, I think, is the latest and has several pictures.

Pocket size?

If you were buying a new 9' table what size pockets would you get? 4.5", 4.25" or 4.125" Thanks

No dumb questions, only dumb answers.

Get the ProCuts unless you just want to beat yourself up. Plus if you get 4.125 its another 600+bux.

That 4.25 pocket shown with the blue cloth and the 1&9 ball looks brutal - not only tight at the mouth but the pocket facing angles appear significantly more tapered as well.

4.5 plays real good. They are challenging but fun to play on. No reason to go tighter.

Yeah, WPA specs say the pocket opening should narrow 3/4” from mouth to throat (front to back of cushion). That looks like more, alright.

Agree with Garczar on this. Solid advice.

Is that pocket . 4.25?

This is 4.25 across the front. Not as deep and looks to be a bit wider than the Pro Am.

I've played on some big pocket tables with a deep shelf and pocket facings that were angled funny and man they trapped balls like crazy, it was really difficult to make a ball down the rail, seems the opening size is not all there is to it.

Looks tighter than that. My spot has a couple GC's at 4&1/8th. that look just like that. Awfully snug.

Unless you're running a 14.1 High run competition with 5" pocket openings, then you want the throat of the pockets to be at least 5" same as the mouth of the pocket, or maybe even a little wider, hate to see a ball missed in the mouth of the pocket ending a run

Well, yeah... I want the pocket mouths to be 12" wide on my turn but only 4" wide on my opponent's turn... but I doubt I'll ever get that.

Guess I'll talk about jawless pockets again.
