In the last few days I've hit several shots where I've thought "that's never going in", and then it's rattled in the pocket and dropped.

have the pockets been made a little bigger or perhaps a little more forgiving?

Been mainly Arcade where I've noticed this.

It's better if their bigger.

I've noticed this on original, especially with the middle pockets.

When the tables were updated I made them uniform in size (now the table is perfectly symmetrical, before the corner pockets were slightly different).

This resulted in minor changes (1-2 pixels), but in each case the pocket was made a bit tighter, not bigger - I think 5 or 6 jaws changed across the 3 tables.

pockets seem tighter,snooker had it easy compared to the pool pockets anyway,which are sharper than snooker.

Pockets are buckets on pool. Plus cushion shots are a million times easier over there.

Both pool tables are big pockets. A rail shot you have some margin of error. You have none on here.

i dont feel any difference on pool as the pockets are so big as damien mentioned.

however cush shots especially on original i have struggled with a lot this week which means pockets on snooker has been made tighter (probably a good thing) which makes it a challenge for most players

I've actually just been over the tables and made a few adjustments for next patch. Original snooker table centre pocket will be a bit wider (easier to pot from wider angles).

In any case they will be as accurate and consistent as I can make them. They will be consistent within a table (each corner pocket will be identical), across tables, and consistent with the graphics. This should have always been the case, but originally the tables had some slight asymmetrical aspects.
