what causes so many shots to hang

[deanoc]

especially on new brunswick tables

approx 4.75 corner pockets
i hit a shot that catches the corner point and it jingles and hangs

it seems to be to be an unusual thing
perhaps i am wrong

Stroke. On a 4.75" pocket table, you have enough pocket to "play different parts of the center", while still moving the ball around the table easily.

IF you are hitting points of the pocket on such a big pocket, your stroke is not accurate, and should be the first order of business to correct.

Sure, there are aspects to consider such as shelf, pocket angles, and such.. But 4.75" is massive. A nice clean stroke should treat such a table like you are playing on a barbox. If you don't have a nice clean stroke, then you are likely hitting the ball too firm anyways, which is gonna close up the pocket...

Sticky facings. Ball going too fast. Etc...
I'm of the school that says hit the ball _< through >_ the aperture.

These unmissable pockets hang if you shoot 'em like they're unmissable.

You probably didn’t factor in the curvature of the earth

And, can anyone spell "Olhausen"? Some aspect of design has got to be involved,

My Professional Diamond does that real bad. I think the slate edge was not prepped right ...excess glue. The ball sometimes stops on the edge just before dropping.

The facing angles look tough, but the bigger problem is that 2 1/4" shelf - it would earn Dr. Dave's worst "table difficulty factor" score. The 5 ball could be this far in and not drop:

You used the jackpot cue to shoot
That’s how

Choke stroke.

Yeah

 

[Dan_B]

no deanoc, you're not getting any strokes.

I’d be curious what the pocket geometry is. Width of the mouth, width of the throat. Since you are the only owner of a new version Centennial, we need you

Off the shelf Brunswick something or nuther. Those buckets also spit 'em out if you do split the heart. 5 ball seems to be multiplying. eek...

Likely your age The pockets at my pool hall are much smaller, and one table has 4" pockets

it’s funny but true… when I goto play on a valley after my tight diamond I feel like I can never miss but I can’t treat it like that or I will! Lol
