It definitely did.

It did, thats what make people think these pockets are big. Its the cut of the cushion, its odd, id prefer to see those stay out.

Only about a foot before the pocket! Looked like a pot on a US pool table. Don't know how the pink before it went in either.

also cushion capping widths on some old tables are a lot narrower than a pro cushion thus the front inside edge of pocketplate distance to fall on slate is less this tends to make a ball often jump ot back on to surface ,
tables in social clubs tend to be made by lots of differant makers going back many years with no set standard shape to plates openings /falls on slate it was only in the early 80s that tables started to be standardised

i suspect the end slate has been set slightly low to end rail this was often done to make balls hold the cushion ,

To be honest I think if you took the pressure factor out of the game they would make a mockery of these tables. If the pockets were really tight it would make very poor viewing. Still would separate the men from the boys which at the moment it's a bit of a free for all.
