This fixes pro pool on bar tables

[acesinc1999]

Well - your search his over - for I was once a young lad from the Dakotas and grew up from age 7 playing......American Snooker on a 5x10 Brunswick Snooker table - replete with all things dedicated to the game - from an 8' bridge handle to the swan rest as well as numbered and unnumbered Aramith balls. Back in 1971 it all started for me. Snooker. My first passion and experience on the baize. Still is ----- but now I play Snooker Pool on my 8' Brunswick as well as 100 other games. I even have my table marked for the game. One day the 10' and 12' Snooker tables will be back in my domain.

Snooker. What a game!

I dare not contest any other points you made for the grand game or why it has not been embraced over here with any passion other than a passing fancy --- where oh where is our Barry Hearn is all I can say for now...

Barry Hearn is an astute fellow, not a miracle worker. He can read a market like a fine novel, but he cannot create a market where one refuses to exist. If you are ever near Chicago, stop in.

Just a quick note from the current BCA Equipment Specifications page, the pocket opening "standard" is still - and has been for decades - set at 4 7/8" minimum to 5 1/8" maximum. Most likely a reasonable tolerance from a manufacturing standpoint. 1/8" would most likely be too stringent and not allow enough room for all of the possible factors affecting the pocket openings from building to assembly. Again, just one point on standardization that is published and hasn't changed for decades. Neither have the ball weights and diameter tolerances.

The BCA website actually gives two sets of equipment specs, one for "WPA sanctioned and/or recognized events" and one for "recreation (non-professional) equipment." The spec for corner-pocket mouths is 4 1/2" to 4 5/8" for the former (the WPA's specs) and what you stated for the latter.

I see that as well on the BCA site ---- my earlier reference was from the latest published edition of their BCA Rules book. Thank you for pointing out there are indeed two specs sections - much appreciated, sir.

I think you guys are on to something here....
Im not entirely sure what it is.... but yeah, something.

How about 12 foot tables with 7 inch pockets and used levi denim for cloth so it plays slower than the cheerleader that never stopped clapping even after the pep rally?

But some people will have to walk further
