Bob Ogburn might’ve been the tallest. Bernie Mikkelsen was 6-5….with long arms….he could pick a ball from a GC from the other side of a side pocket.
I’m only six feet but with a 6-3 wing span….I play with 57 inch cues….I’ve always wondered why more short guys don’t use long cues…..tall guys don’t need them.

Its because Dr Dave assigned 3x the factor for pockets than table size.

He has a multiplication factor for each of:

Pocket width
Pocket depth
Pocket angle
Table size

So if a pocket is a hair "tough" in width, depth, and angle, it would be .9 x .9 x .9 =0.729
The pocket thus accounts for 3 times as much as the table size in his calculator.

This does not match real life. Table size is far and away the largest factor in if you make the ball and get position to run out.
