  2. After researching your question extensively, I've concluded that the "Conner pockets" (as you've typed it) is simply a misspell. I've learned that "Conner" relates to Rugby ----having nothing to do with your question. I believe that you want the size or measurements for the *CORNER* pockets on a 6 ft. Snooker Table.

    Here's what I found:

    Pockets

    A snooker table has six pockets, one at each corner and one at the center of each of the longest side cushions. The pockets are around 90 mm (3.5 in), though high-class tournaments may use slightly smaller pockets to increase difficulty. The amount of "undercut" in the pocket determines how easily a ball is accepted. Compared to a billiards table, snooker table pockets are rounded, while pool tables have sharp corners. This affects how accurate shots need to be to get in a pocket and on rail shots from one end of the table to the other.

    The pocket size actually depends on the size of the ball being used. For instance,

    a 6 by 3 table, with full-sized balls, would require the full-sized cushion with the

    normal pockets. Yet the same table with say, smaller balls of 1 7/8", would require

    a lower cushion and smaller pockets - otherwise the pots would be too easy.

    It comes down to ball size: I've found that snooker balls range in size from 1 1/2'', 1 3/4", 1 7/8", to 2".  The standard size POCKETS, no matter the table size is roughly 90 mm (3.5 in) .....though this size will vary only slightly, depending on the size of the balls being used.

    I could not come up with an exact pocket size for these variances. The best I could come up with, is a rough estimate of: 90 mm (3.5 in).

    I sure hope this helps -
