Description: Dr. Dave presents the Table Difficulty Factor (TDF) system used to measure how difficult a pool table plays. It is based on table size and three simple corner pocket measurements: mouth size, facing angle, and shelf depth. TDF is useful to characterize and compare any pool tables. Contents: 0:00 – Intro 0:20 - Table Difficulty 2:03 - TDF System 3:16 - TDF Measurements 5:31 - TDF Calculation 7:31 - Wrap Up Many people have suggested over the years to add other factors to account for side pocket geometry, cloth conditions, cushion conditions, etc. As I mention in the beginning of the video, many conditions-related factors could be included, but then things would get much too complicated (to both measure and calculate).
