I hear the commentators say that the pocket sizes are narrower than they used to be, that they are tighter on "this" table than "that" table or whatever, but no one ever gives an actual dimension. Why?
In american pool, the pros are typically playing on 4" pockets vs more standard tables that are 4-1/2" - 4-3/4". It's no secret.
Why in snooker is the dimension never revealed? Back in the days of Alex Higgins and those guys, the pockets were more open than now, but, again, no dimension ever given. The general public is left to surmise that the snooker commentators are stating facts, but, it honestly sounds subjective. Is the pocket size not regulated in professional snooker?
