UK Pool Table Settings

[Chief Concern]

Can anyone share any decent settings for the UK pool table such as cloth speed, pockets, etc.? I notice the cue ball is the same size as all the others, as far as I can tell there's no way to make it smaller than the rest like you would find with a real English pool table, or am I missing something?

Hiya, The best and most realistic setting is 'tournament'. I prefer beach table but thats my own preference. Try different room as they all have individual pre settings when setting tournament table.

As for the white ball (yes its smaller in real life) VP4 white ball is the same size but they made it lighter even though its the same size.

I have played on tour tables around the UK and this is most realistic I could find

Ah okay, thanks for the info. One thing I noticed is it's hard to pot in the middle pockets from tight angles, think it's because of the jaws of the pockets. But that might be because I'm used to playing on the average pub table, not a tournament table or anything like that.

set you slip to 1 and your roll to 5 nap has more grip irl..and you can still maintain shape to bad you cant jump like in a real pub its a shame considering its a more preferred table and cue
