Why are the pockets on American pool tables twice as big as UK pool tables? The one time I visited America and played pool, I felt I was playing in the childrens part of the pool world. I mean, I'm poo poo at pool but playing with pockets that huge I imagined myself king of pool playing it was that much easier to play.

jase1 posted:I didn't know that the sizes were different. It maybe that you played on a larger table. Different size tables have wider or slimmer pockets depending on the type of table and the size of the table. No, the pockets were huge and the table was the same size. I even looked at other pool tables in Amrica and the pockets were huge on every table I looked at. It was like playing pool on the easy level.

Midjack posted:Yes, UK-standard tables have smaller pockets than US-standard ones, look it up on wikipedia or something to find the real names for the two types. Ah- see it now. Like every British sport or game the Americans have to take all skill, thought or tactics out of it. Look what your country did to rugby and rounders. I now understand why you don't play cricket.
