This is just for Les Edwards

[lesedwards]

Yeah but your mate had an 85 break on the table Les, that tells me that it is maybe tight but not unpayable

I am not saying it's unplayable. This table plays just like a professional table. So for Cliff a World Champion who had a 72 and Floyd current Canadian Champion who had an 85 it's perfect. For someone trying to learn to break build it is no good. Just discourages you and puts doubt in every shot.

to be fare to yourself les you did manage to clear 12 reds in a 15 red lineup in your last vid so, grab your cue and get back down there into the den fella
remember what our parents told us, a bad workman blames his tools

LOL Yes I know and I have been working very hard. Yes potting very well except for the middle pockets they are tough. Qualifier today so I would like to take my good thoughts to my match today. I will let you know the out come.

I took a tape measure with me again today and played on a table I have never played on before, so a totally random choice, I measured across the pocket right on a tangent with the arc of the pocket (I hope this is the fall) 3.5 inches, bang on, and that's just a bog standard club table,if it were my table there is absolutely no way would I take the corner pockets up to four inches, for one I think you would be ruining a perfectly good table, and two nothing you scored on it could be taken seriously, four inches would be huge, I think it would look silly. If the pockets over there in the clubs are four inches they are in my opinion just kidding themselves on(if I have measured the wrong bit I take it all back lol)

Yep i agree mate, assuming the fitters know what they are doinbg the table will be fine, if you want big pockets Les why not play pool instead
Also don't like to drag people down, but Longbombers "century" cannot be taken seriously on his oversized pool table

[j6uk]

no but seriously les, pool, pool is for you. think about it, all that pain gone. plus you'll open up a whole new friend circle, on the pool forums

[itsnoteasy]

Honestly, JRC and J6, you lads are far better than me and especially J6, you have traveled up and down going to comps, have either of you played on any table who's pockets come close to four inches?

I'm no good really (64 high break, regular 40's at best) but 4" is enormous !!
That pic you showed a while back Les looked totally fine to me, and that middle bag of Terry's was like a bargain bucket

ive played on tight tables in comps won 3-0 with breaks over 50 in every frame and ive played on buckets in say the league and struggled with lesser players. i don't even know what the pocket sizes are on a pro table, what is it?

regarding les, he just seems to but dejected, trowing balls against the wall and, not know were he really is technically. he simply needs a proper coach to kick him in the pants

Ha, !! I didn't have a clue about pockets until all this started, now I could be the local nutter with the tape measure checking all the tables wherever I go lol.

Buy a set of templates and take them with you whenever you play and if the table doesn't meet the templates then you can refuse to play on them saying 'it will ruin my confidence if I play on these'!

Hey guys I played my match today and won. No big breaks but a lot of 4 ball breaks which is much better for me. I made some great shots to the side pockets that would not have been makable on mine and I missed some black balls to the corner which should be easy on those tables but because mine are so tight I have not developed a fluid stroke and seem to jab at them instead of driving right through the cue ball. More practice.
