The pocket's look a lot tighter on that table compared to today's.

i dont think using that video footage, especially on only a few minutes evidence, that anyone could objectively compare the pocket sizes of that table and those of todays regular tables.

i certainly dont "get" how anyone could see such a big difference so as to say "a lot tighter".

each to their own.

It's not much the pockets as the overall conditions. Cloth / Balls both made the game a lot harder in those days.
