Great modern looking room there ,I got my Westbury from them in February last year ,if it’s anything like mine you’ll have a loverly table that looks pretty much new .What pocket cut are you going for , mine is match cut middles and slightly over sized corners to compensate for when the cloth wears a bit ,no undercut on the rubber nose , I found the middles a little nippy at first but soon got used to it .You having the silver and mahogany combo ?

Yes, silver and mahogany. Can't wait. It's so exciting.

I believe the match cut is 3.25 inch. I'm going with 3.5 as advised. I'm not the best player and don't want to be demoralised from the get go. I think that's still tighter than a club pocket but not as tough as match cut. Not sure what is meant by undercut or the difference..

An undercut rubber essentially makes your 3.5” pocket 3.75”

[NonStarter]

Just checked and the rubbers won't be undercut

I’ll try and put a pic up today with the official world snooker template in my corners ,it’s one from 2005/6 which are or should be the same as now .At the fall of the slate the W P B S A template is 3 3/8 .Having a full nose rubber all the the way in to the pocket not only keeps your a game a bit tighter but it also helps to stop tracking marks on the cloth bed and the cushion cloth will last longer ,undercut tends to suck the ball into the same area around the pocket and wears the table a lot faster .Chris is a good guy and the pocket cut he does is spot on .Most club tables I play on have pockets bigger than mine ,you don’t want buckets on a home set up ..Danger Steve’s table is near on match cut too I think .

It’s worked ok thankfully ,here you can see this cut is not as tight as the template ,but hardly buckets either ,but enough to make all the shots still when you get a bit of cloth wear.

Lol I’ll send you a middle and corner set Steve ,and we'll have a look at yours

Nah my corners are 85mm which is just over 1mm bigger. Not too dissimilar from yours..

I’m hoping the tight pockets will pay off when I go a play on club tables in comps.
