When are they in? I want I want I want!!!  So much cheaper than getting pockets shimmed and if they react properly, then even better! [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-11-18 15:26 ]

Well spotted sir! Should arrive at The Pro Shop tomorrow, and will be available immediately, but initial stocks will be limited, so it will be the usual case of first-come first-served, and only available in two colours at first. Here's what Barry is talking about... http://www.pro9.co.uk/html/theproshop/main.php?P=cat&C=73-----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-11-18 13:55 ]

Can you save me a blue set to buy Dave incase I can't get on first thing tomorrow? I've been longing for a cheap way to reduce pocket size in training. Do you have any info on how long these last? Curious if they would work in match situations or not  You should set up a pro shop at some of these flyers I bet your stuff would sell like hotcakes

@RACKRUNNER21 - yes, I've been pestering them every six months ever since!
@BFrench501 - not sure what I can do about this, as I've already stated it's first-come first-served. I'm sure you'll be able to swing it somehow. The listing will be activated mid to late morning if they arrive.

Baz shouldn't you be having the pockets made bigger ??
If not heard of these bear so I'm going to check these out as I also am not a fan of shimmed pockets !
Shimming and tightening the pockets alters the way you can play the shot so be careful baz !

I got these around a week ago. I have to say that they are pretty good as they react good and the tapes they come with are very solid. My only problem is that they are not big enough ... I don't think they make a huge difference . Do you know if the manufacturer is planning to make sizes that effectively would be for double shimming ?

From the Manufacturer of Propockets; The size of the pockets on tables varies in size and there can be a huge difference from table to table. Propockets were designed for a practice aid and has taken an average thickness as its measure to determine the degree of difficulty it wishes to achieve. Propockets can be made to order and have been tested to reduce the width of the pockets by up to 18mm, effectively 9mm on each side of the pocket. Propockets also fit the 7 & 8ft American pool tables with a small adjustment and can also be made for snooker tables too. If you wish to know more about Propockets or have any questions regarding thicker sizes then please contact us at propockets@eurotouronline.eu[ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-12-07 12:01 ]

hm, that's a bit of a shame. Surely the fact that the size of the pockets varies between tables is a good reason to manufacture different sizes. Anyway, thanks for checking this with the manufacturer BigDave. [ This message was edited by: BigDave on 2010-12-04 16:44 ]
