small tight pockets in one pocket good or bad?

A Gus may be analogous to a Strad but their relevance to the respective genres are not of equal merit.
Strads not killing fiddling is a very good analogy. A good Strad enables violin-ing in all its splendor and glory and produces it for those able to traverse its wonders. Those not as musically endowed will produce the more common squeaks, squawks, and clams in the attempt - the fault being in the player not the instrument.

Maybe it's because virtuosic pooling hasn't hit the mainstream that the analogy seems vague. Super tight pockets add context to and reveal precision execution. Buckets will look like pool but allow all manner of sloppiness and crudeness - all swept under the "can't play perfect" rug.
If anything will kill pool, it's the bad guys; not precision equipment.

I think many would consider Szamboti the Strad of pool.

The rest of your "argument, " meh. You're fiddling in the dark and you can't even do that, lol.

Anything you can hit down the rail without cinching. Pockets with no jaws can go down to 3.25 maybe; just an aperture.

The rest of pool, speed, position - can be mastered. You don't need the hole to give you an angle. Sure there will be trade offs - no more lame safeties for instance... :ROFLMAO:

I post this stuff all the time - nobody buys it out loud. Developing to that degree though, is for the having.

@fastone371,
Yeah it is sad. As it is, people just go with the flow; no deep commitments, no evolution...

Don't need any consensus about this, it's what's at work...

What are you on about? is this even pool related?? Sounds like a therapy session or something.

Just the cauterizing effect of consensus. Loose pockets in this case; more playable pool without more ability, learning, smarts etc...
Impossible pockets beget retarded defense. Super tight all angle pockets don't.
