Tiny pocket practice..

My nemesis was a very tough old snooker table. First time I played on it I think I played three games in a couple hours. I had to learn what the pockets would accept and eventually learned to play shape on it. ...Hu

Remember when the Family Billiards rooms were new, about fifty years ago? I used to practice with pool balls on the ten foot snooker tables.
 
Do they appear "poorly" cut as compared to the tight cut Brunswick at Hard Times Jay?

Yes, Ernesto knew how to cut those pockets to make the openings small but fair. Those pockets shown here are about as gaffy as it gets.

I wasn't around Family but I had a few decent rooms to play in. I used snooker balls on the snooker table but a pool cue. Years later I got a snooker cue, and used it to play pool with. I am just bass ackwards sometimes!
