Yes, they use to back in the 90's back when I was manufacturing my own line of 8ft and 9ft coin operated King Cobra pool tables. Valley and Dynamo both tried testing out the 9ft market. The problem with their 9fts, was that they were built on the same frame design as their 8fts, 3/4" side panels, 1 piece undersized slates, and frame sag that would make any other Valleys look perfectly level. While I continued building 9fts, they dropped their 9fts by about 1998. One of the biggest problems they faced as well, was that no vending companies wanted to support their sales anymore because those that they did buy were a lost investment. Bar table players pretty much avoided playing on them because of their size, and how badly the balls rolled off from being so swayback.
