His pockets were opened up to about 85mm at the fall and now he says it's more like what he played on the pro tables.
80/81 depending on the slate bevel might be a nightmare for getting them in along the rail if your not fitting a brand new cloth every few weeks.
Anyway I will have the table fitted with Hainsworth Match and I won't change cloth every month, but I took a look at old IBSF template drawings and corner pockets are 81mm and middle ones about 95mm.

Tight pockets on 8ft table
Hi all
I’ve made an order for an 8ft table and now I have some doubt about pocket size.
As I’d like to have a quite challenging table, I was thinking about 80/81mm for corner pockets and 95/96mm for middle pockets (I’ve read in some threads here that another important factor is to avoid undercut).
What do you think about these sizes? Do you have any suggest?Tags: None
