Is this how American Pool table pockets are now?
I used to own a Sam Billiards table just shy of full size and the pockets were never this narrow. Is this just how they are now? At a club in the UK so apologies I can't measure them but notice how the cushion goes past the actual size of the pocket. To me it just looks like they have been made tight than they used to be. I swear the side cushions used to be flush with the size of the corner pockets.
Is this how standard pockets are now size wise?
Please see pics for reference.
