I have sciatica and I'm 6' 3" tall. Raising the table 4.5" has made my back much more comfortable during play. After 13 years of it raised, I have zero regrets, and I will most likely be doing it on my next table, whether this one or something else.

Even at 5'7" I wish pool tables were higher. Snooker tables -- maybe 2-3 inches higher -- help me get closer to the stick. Most carom tables seem lower than pool tables.

I remember Varner saying on several occasions, "he cut the paint off that ball"
Or Danny D saying "You think too long, you think wrong!"
Or "I just can't control the Agate today"
I think it was Hank Stram who said"You can't win if you can't forget" Or a fish with his mouth shut avoids the hook!

Really?

I have seen them, and often wondered. Never grabbed one.

Maybe I should have?

Cool cats and awesome table!
