In 2008 I wrote an article called, " Which tournament / tour / table has the tightest pockets?" and it amazes me that these old articles still get more "reads" even now, and yet more incredibly, I'm still receiving submissions from around the world, a full four years later. Yesterday, I received a set of pocket photos so incredible and unusual I figured they deserved their own thread in the forums. They're certainly tight, but this one has really got me stumped...       It was found in a pool club in Verona, Italy... Does anyone recognise this game/table, or is it a one off "Frankenstein" made from odds and sods? -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2012-02-04 13:14 ]

I played on a table like this in Casino, italy.. Don't think it's a home-mader because they had a few of them.. Even the rails are unbelievable.. Ps. Watch your knees around the table at the corners lol [ This message was edited by: Rfleming on 2012-02-06 02:02 ]

I guess it's another example of one country designing a unique table and inventing their own ridiculous mickey mouse game and calling it pool. Just like the English did lol.
