TIGHT POCKETS (Check out the templates)

[lesedwards]

I think even the Rocket would have trouble on my table...lolI bought my table last October and it is a fine piece of craftsmanship. *1898 Brunswick Pfister 5x10 Snooker Table. Three weeks ago I had new Northern Rubber installed, I made templates from the originals and made them exact, big mistake. I guess because the old rubber had dried out a little and the corners where firm they did not have a lot of bounce to them so if you where just off a hair they would still go in but now with the new rubber unless you take dead aim you can only dream of making it. I have attached my templates so feel free to print them out and compare to your table or your clubs table. I look forward to your response and suggestions. Terry Davidson sent me the templates he has for the TV pockets so I cannot wait to get home and print them out to compare. His look to be about 1/4" larger for the corners which is an 1/8" off both sides which I would think would make a big difference.

Well everything is looked after thanks to Terry Davidson. Terry sent me the templates for WPBSA regulations and my middle pockets where perfect but my corner pockets where a 1/4" smaller and they also bowed in another 1/4" 1" back from the slate fall which made shots just about impossible. I pulled the cloth back and re shapped the rubber and what a difference.
