If you have 5" pockets you have less rail to bank cross corner. Playing one pocket is a different game on a table like that.
As for arguing vs discussion, the Socratic method is ‘examination by argument’....
...nothing wrong with it....it IS wrong to lose your temper, though.
‘Course, if you get too good at the Socratic style of debating....

My home table is a Diamond with 4 1/4" corner pockets and it plays tough as nails. The pro players that come through here love to practice on it. You would be amazed to see how good they can play on this table compared to us average bangers. That's where I really see the difference in their ability. Dennis and Shane can run out on my table like water playing Ten Ball.
That said, my experience as a poolroom owner (four and counting :wink has been that the bangers will play on any table you have available if they want to be in your business enjoying themselves. Even my tight "player" tables got a lot of play on my busy nights and no one complained. Believe it or not, in my first poolroom in Bakersfield I had two 10' snooker tables and twenty two 9' Gold Crowns. On busy weekend nights when we would get a waiting list of a dozen or more people, they were glad to play with pool balls on the snooker table just to be able to play and not sit around. l:
I would prefer the Mosconi Cup being played in America on Diamond Pool Tables with 4.5 Pro Cut Pockets.
True. I scratch much more often practicing at home with 5” pockets, where some nice 4” it would’ve been a good safety or takeout. I feel like I play better on tighter pockets but that could just be a mental thing because the only real 5” experience I have is at home where I’m more relaxed/lazy I guess and when I’m out on a nice solid table I just feel a lot better.
Trent seems to be looking to argue,what business is it of his if I like to
buy or sell, or why my colors of finish are slightly darker on the legs of my table
Honestly what business is that of his,I almost bought a table or maybe more from Trent,
his looked good on AZ pictures, they cost a lot more than what I could get another one just as good for in my opinion.
Are there pictures?
