Good for sharpening your aim and concentration
I have a Brunswick table with 5” really friendly pockets all around. The pocket pros reduce the size of each pocket to 3 1/2 inches. In my opinion the best way to use them is to either put in only one pocket pro and shoot into that pocket from many different places or set up a series of balls on paper holes and only put in the pocket pros on the necessary pockets and shoot the series over and over. Again in my opinion putting all of them in and trying to play a game would only be frustrating and counter productive. If you do the exercises I outlined you WILL find your accuracy increasing but you will need to do it often if you want the improvement to last. Do the exercises before a match until you are making the balls consistently.

Pro-pocket reducer!
I’ve enjoyed practicing with it.. it makes me slow down on my shots! It’s also made my shot more accurate when I play games!

Practice pro pocket reducers
They work really great at making the pockets considerably smaller and makes you really focus on the shot. No slamming them in for sure. It will help your stroke out to as in being consistent draw back I see is the way they install in the pockets. The hinges sit up above the pockets and this causes 2 problems. First is I have drop pockets and you have little room to get the balls out. Second, they get in the way when shooting certain shots if you need to bridge your hand over the pocket are where they are installed. They are made really nicely and very high tension on the springs, so no worries about them moving on you or coming out of the pockets.

Practice Pro Pocket Reducers
In my experience, pleasant addition to my accessories. Works as advertised and forces you to concentrate, be more precise, and do more drill exercises. My understanding of where to hit the OB is already improving. This is work and sometimes frustrating but has a big payoff in improved skils. Recommended.

Pocket reducers
Practiced with these about an hour a day for a week now. Frustrating at first but getting better. Has increased my accuracy quite a bit. Teaches you to really concentrate on each shot.
Tom G. –
Solid practice tool
Truly useful! Will have to hit center pocket during my next practice sessions 🙂 !

Good to practice with tighter pockets
I enjoy a better game when the pockets are harder to make. The only thing I had problems with this product was the side pockets kept slipping out. I have a really expensive table cloth that’s stretched tight and the springs would not hold on the pockets. No matter where I set the reducer in the side when it was hit the reducer would fly out. Sometimes it would just fly out on its own. I gave up and removed the side pocket reducers. It does make you learn to shoot for the center of the pockets each shot.
Casey L. –
Definitely a useful training resource
Forces you to get on the right side of balls. Cheating the pocket isn’t an option.

Pro pocket reducers
The reducers are great! They fit tight and stay tight after a shot is off to the left or right. They stay precisely in place where you placed them in the jaws of the pockets.

Nevery have any complications getting what I ordered in a timely manner.

Fantastic product!!!
I have been using the pocket reducers for 1 week now and it really makes you go for center pocket.
Jordan K. –
Pocket reducers
Pocket reducers sure helps you pocket the middle of the pocket I put it in wrong the first time so it made the pocket about 3 inches wide very frustrating at first but then I seen it was wrong so I put it in the right way and still it functions really excellent for perfecting a straight stroke I can’t leave them in there because my buddies when they come don’t like it but I really like it Richard
Tom B. –
Gotta keep using them till
Without a doubt, gotta keep using them till you start making shots once you take them off you can see about every part of pocket to hit
Kate H. –
Pocket reducers
I don’t have experience with any other brand of pocket reducer, however I can recommend you try these out. They work wonders on the accuracy of your game. They can get in the way of your shots at times, but they are so easy to put in and take out that it is really no big deal.
Sue E. –
Satisfactory for working on getting
Without a doubt, reliable for working on getting center pocket

Pocket reducers take some getting
Pocket reducers take some getting used to, but they forced me to take longer with my shots, which is what I needed. Accuracy is much improved.

A bit of a pain to set up, but as described and best cost available.

Purchase performs as described. Easy
Item performs as described. Easy to install and take out. Seems to have no negative impact on the cloth where installed. Defintely makes the pocket smaller and shots are required to be more accurate than it appears I am. Hopefully with practice!!!

Diamond Rattle Reduction
The pocket reducers are great. Easy to put in and simple to take out. I often practice on a table built for occasional players and then compete on Diamond tables. The pocket reducers help me rattle around the pockets a lot less on the Diamonds Money well spent.
Jen C. –
Great practice tool
Just got a set of these. My table has pretty wide pockets which makes it fun for the average player. But when I play league games the pockets a 1/4 to 1/2 inch smaller. These make the pockets tighter than most and are reliable to increase accuracy. They stay put. They do change the angle of the pocket sides so balls will bounce out and not deflect into the pocket. This just makes it tougher which is the point. Another thing that should be obvious but was not is that the spring that sticks up makes shooting out of the corner difficult to impossible. Not a problem for practice time but didn’t think about this until I started using them. They do make you sharpen your aim and I do recommend them.
Ann H. –
Frustrated, it works!
These frustrated me, missed shots I could normally make. But the more I practice, the easier it gets. It makes pockets on a normal table seem large. Already improving my game after using this just for a few days.

Still Waiting for Delivery
Sorry but can’t review the product as it has not arrived ! I had an email saying it was shipped but it has not yet arrived – can you help and track where the package is ?
Dan N. –
Reliable training tool. It does
nice training tool. It does reduce the pockets size, making you be more accurate. The spring mechanism on each reducer is a bit hard to compress on smaller pockets.
Morgan W. –
Cool product
I bought this purchase for my friends that had recently bought a used pool table. THEY HATED IT AT FIRST! Now they appreciate the purchase for when they practice on a tough table at home… it makes pocketing balls seem easy when they play league pool or in tournaments. Sloppy pockets make for sloppy players. Great item.

Service is always great an shipment is fast. Pocket reducers are as advertised I’m sure they will help my game as I use them more.

Not meant for bangers
I have to say, i give these 4 stars. As they are a little clumsy to get in place. Very stiff as expected. These are meant to get your tempo slowed and Stoke straight. I read the lower reviews and can say they used them foe the wrong reasons. If you want to improve your aim point aim center pocket for the shot with these. I make sharp degree cuts with these installed as I dont try to BANG the balls in the pocket. League players believe me your not that good to discount the use this actually has in improving your aim and stroke. Dont poke pop or punch it will rattle out, use them right and they will help. 1. Pro pocket reducers. 40.00 2. Redo your rails with increased facing width reducing your pocket opening. When you redo your table next time. 75.00 + normal cloth replacement 3. Order pro cut pocket 4.25 rails from penguin for valley table… Or jave your rails built up to 4.25 with new sub-rail… Couple hundred dollars + cost of new cloth install. These do work with the right intent and purpose in mind while TRAINING. Comment sense people. These are great.

Superb purchase, works as advertised. Have only used a few times, but seems to have improved my shot accuracy in just a short time. Highly recommend for those wanting to hone in their accuracy in their shots!
Taylor T. –
Great!
To be frank, amazing training tool. Forces one to focus on pocket speed and true accuracy. Would suggest to those looking to improve their pocketing skills.
John J. –
Nice practice accessory.
Took a while to make the trip to Canada but these pocket reducers work as advertised. Simple to install and remove easily for storage or the rare occasion when they might interfere with a shot. Only negative is that I was looking forward to getting a new catalogue which I thought might be included in the shipment. It wasn’t.
Chris M. –
Helps Accuracy
I always use these for accuracy when warming up before a match. It is also a great training aid for various exercises, plays, and drills.
Jim M. –
On time delivery, works superb
To be frank, on time delivery, works wonderful effortless to install. Only issue is getting balls Out of drop pocket table . Man with big hands has kil problems getting them out. But overall great product.
Amy F. –
A plus to bring your game up
I have known about these for a long time but never really thought about buying them. I decided I wanted to make my game better so I ordered a set. They are discouraging at first but they truly help tighten your game up. I would endorse.
Amy B. –
Great for practicing straight pocket
Truthfully, great for practicing straight pocket shots . I am going to cloth mine to try to be able to better play when you don’t hit center pocket
Karen C. –
Was really frustrated for a
Was quite frustrated for a couple days trying to make shots with the pocket reducer after a couple days dayslater I was making shots 1 after the other I practice with it till I got confident then I went to the American Legion we have a pool tournament every Sunday and I took first place there were 17 participants I was quite pleased I shoot on a regulation table at home 8 ft but the table at the legion is 7 ft the angles entering the pocket are a lot more narrow on a 7 ft table then on 8 ft table the pocket reducers made the difference
Chris R. –
Pocket reducers
What a great purchase. My pockets went from 4 3/4″ to 3 1/4″ which is tighter then I’ve ever seen the pros use. The tightest I’ve ever seen the pros use is 4″. I use these for 8 hard hrs. Then took them off and it was like God parting the red sea. I love um. No such thing as cheating the pockets. This WILL improve your game. Thank you PoorDawg.
Karen T. –
Great
I got so irritated using these at first. But after using them for about a week shooting w/ them got a whole lot easier. So then I only shot w/ them in for a durable month. When I took them out it was like shooting for a 5 gal. bucket.
Sarah E. –
Definitely makes you focus more.
I must admit, definitely makes you focus more. Have only used a few sessions but do see the value in these. Side pocket fitment a little goofy, but other then that would purchase again.
Jesse C. –
Great to keep a coupe
Outstanding to keep a coupe in my bag to setup and work on my shot making. Helps step up my accuracy. After practicing with them for a half hour standard pockets are massive.
Sam B. –
They work for practicing certain shots
Just received these. I would say these are only for practicing and drills. Doesn’t seem to tighten side pockets as much as the corners. I do like them and they should help my game. I would vouch for them but you have to be aware they’re not quality for some shot angles.
Mary P. –
Helps you concentrate on hitting
In my experience, helps you concentrate on hitting a spot of the pocket.
Lisa C. –
Force concentration
Truthfully, these pocket reducers work as advertised. They force more concentration on every shot. Removing them make the pockets feel huge. The only drawback is that they hinder cueing over the pocket. But all this does is force you to jack up occasionally. This only further forces the shots to play more difficult (which is the main purpose of the reducers in the first place). I would highly vouch for the pocket reducers for anyone serious about improving their game.
Karen C. –
Diagnostic tool for stroke mechanics improvement
I must admit, excellent for what I perceive as the way to use the item; to help correct mechical flaws that will show up when repeatedly shooting longer straight-in shots. There is no need to plug all six pockets, not sure what that would accomplish. Pocket rebounds with a missed shot are most unusual and will never mimic a real game. They close my corner pockets to three inches straight on. Cut shots play even tighter. Josh Filler does not pocket to such a standard. Top-notch used as a mechanical training aid to observe your faults on longer straight-in shots. And for that, they are excellent. Pocket a straight in ball from a five or six diamond distance and you have delivered a fine stroke.

i use the reducers to help with my stroke. The are what I expected and work effectively in my practice routine. I carry one with me in my bag and use it as my pre-practice routine.
Chris R. –
Durable training tool for improvement.
I bought these pocket reducers in hopes that they would help improve my ball pocketing accuracy. The first several times I attempted to use them was very frustrating for me as I wasn’t pocketing balls like I normally would. With consistent use of the reducers which force cleaner pocketing and more focus/concentration I felt that my stroke was smoother and ball pocketing was cleaner after the reducers came out.
Mike C. –
Extremely frustrating at first but
Very frustrating at first but got better as I use them. They will help my game. Only worry is if they stay in too long will they make my pocket bigger, or deform my existing rail?
Ann R. –
Pocket Reducers
Although they may be frustrating at first, they really helped me take my shot making to the next level. I spend less time worrying about if I’m going to make the shot and more time planning position on the next shot. I would highly suggest this training aid. They play like normal pockets but a lot smaller.

Pocket Reducer
these work very nicely to reduce the pocket size helping you improve accuracy. the over pocket spring does get in the way on occasion but very seldom. these can be used during actual play or for running drills. over all good purchase that does what it says it will.
Casey M. –
Superb for improving stroke and accuracy
terrific training aid. I tend to set two up on one end of the table and work long shots at various angles. For game play they’re ok. You’ll get weird bounces and rail shots are nearly impossible.
Amy F. –
Extremely reliable
Quite fine Satisfied customer here.

functions great
Kate S. –
This is a quality practice
I must admit, this is a good practice tool. I only use them to practice all sorts of shoots with and without spin. I’ve seen a huge improvement. I’ve tried playing a game with them but that not very much fun. 🙂
Beth G. –
This is one training aid
this is one training aid that is worth every penny. When you first insert one into the pocket, you think: “That’s not so bad! Not that tight.” Then you watch the next 4 balls bounce out that you try and pocket. I use mine as a warm-up pre-match. Forces me to slow my stroke, and focus my aim

Worth it
These will piss you off in a good way. Flawless for working on long straight shots
Sarah D. –
excellent

Smaller pockets better aim
These absolutely help to increase focus and aim. Working with them has enabled me to aim for part of the pocket when playing a game instead of just the pocket Happy with my choice.
Rick E. –
good buy
works as expected should improve my game after some practice
Drew H. –
These are completely unforgiving! Nothing
These are completely unforgiving! Nothing sneaks past these bad boys. I’ve been practicing with the reducers on for about 30 hours now and the difference is measurable. It forces me to play my best and not shoot sloppy. What I kept saying after I shot was REEEEJECTED!!!! I was totally used to 5″ pockets and my League plays on 4 1/2″ Diamonds. Now, I play on 3 1/2″ pockets and my accuracy is definitely improving in a big way. .
Steve N. –
Superb purchase and great service
To be frank, amazing purchase and outstanding service as usual!!!! Thank you!!!

Game Changer
Superb craftsmanship, stays put when you rattle the pocket. Im going to use them all summer and hopefully I will be a better player come league next fall.

Tighten up your game
Honestly, within 30 minutes of installing these pocket reducers on my table at home I asked myself “am I really this bad at pool?” The answer, yes. If you want to tighten up your aim, and begin to doubt your ability; then I highly recommend this product!
