Does everyone prefer playing one pocket on very tight table or an easier table with bigger pockets?
Still relatively new to One Pocket I feel it depends on my opponent. If I'm the stronger player then I prefer the bigger pockets, but if I'm the one being spotted several balls from a stronger player, I want the tighter table.
My style of play varies greatly when these conditions change. If I'm playing a weaker player and on an easy table, I try to spread the rack out to make it easier to run balls. But If I'm playing on a tight table, I don't spread the rack out as much and I play more safes while only moving 1 ball at a time.
Tables I have available to me near by:
Diamond Pro Am - 9 foot - not shimmed
Brunswick Gold Crown - 9 foot - triple shimmed
Diamond - 9 foot - shimmed (once I thin- not too tough)
Connely's - 9 foot - BIG BUCKETS (shoot anywhere near the pocket and it drops)
Plus other tables are kim steels, olhausen, and brunswicks.
