Table Difficulty Standard 1.0 Really?

[alphadog]

I measured a red label 9' diamond with "procut" pockets . My figures put it at 1.
My question is this-A table like this is very tight,should it really be the standard?
Maybe my measurements,calculations,or understanding of the results,are off?
Thanks to any and all who want to contribute.

Please post your table info and measurements in the Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) thread so we can check your numbers and compare them to other Procut Diamonds that have been posted.

Thanks,
Dave

Dr. Dave , are there no equations for side pockets?
Some tables have side pockets that do not allow much approach

Thanks for all you have done,and continue to add to this great game.

No. I wanted to keep things as simple as possible while still capturing the most important factors for a typical table.

... agreed!

I measured my 9' pro cut (Blue Label) Diamond ProAm, and came up with the same TDF. It seemed like it plays quite a bit tougher than most tables, but I play like sh*t, so that may explain it.

If I get a chance, I'll re-do, and post to the thread.
