Exactly - sooo much more comfortable - especially when sitting for 30 min + watching some run 50 balls on you!! I had bar stools until I got two spectator chairs and spectator bench - there is no comparison in comfort, and all my buddies agree.
I started playing last year - after a 35 year hiatus (life and kids) - love this game so much. Learned 14.1 from my Dad in the early 70's. Been experimenting w/chalks and working on my hard draw shot every now and then. I splurged for a piece of Taom Pyro Blue - and love it - really clean...
