I watched a little to see if I could bark at any of them
, but the game is a little different on a 5 x 10. DiToro has been one of the better players there for a long time.
It was a quality production but why they played it on 5 x 10 tables is strange to me.

from what i know
the players organized it among themselves
the tables are brunswick centennials refurbished by mark gregory of perfect pocketz...with his technique of extending the rails instead of shims for pocket size
all pockets including the side pockets are 4 1/2 inch but i am told play "smaller"

.....
The venue 'The Xtreme Pool Challenge' where the Senior One pocket event was held at, is a private studio for 'Live Streamed' events. It was conceived by Gary Patrick the owner and Earl Strickland to challenge other PRO players on the larger tables, until Earl decided to f**k Gary!
The concept was and still is, to have 'High Caliber Pro player' events, the two 5'x10' foot tables are the ONLY tables at this venue. It was intended to test the abilities of the BEST players on some of the BEST equipment Brunswick ever made, and modified pockets and cushions to challenge the BEST!
Playing 1 one pocket on a the larger table requires a completely different mindset/concept! Which has NOT really been currently tested thoroughly, a SINGLE event a year does not make a player the BEST on the larger table. XTreme's concept is to try an hold some form of quarterly PRO events for the elite! Hopefully it will come to what they envision!
