Why did Diamond make their 8ft tables in a dimension that was in between everybody else's 8ft tables and their pro 8ft table dimensions. Why not just make their 8ft table the same dimensions as everybody else's 8ft tables, aka the "standard" size?

Because Greg Sullivan figured that if the 7ft was 40×80 and the 9ft was 50×100, then the 8ft should be 45×90, right?😅

Amazing how much bigger a those couple inches feel (that's what she said)😁
I have a OS Brunswick sport king and it feels like an ocean compared to a standard 8

I thought the same. I grew up with a 44” X 88” at home, but played a lot during the high school years at the local hall that had 46” X 92” T-rails and wow, what a difference.

Any suggestions on who makes a good pro 8. I know there is
only a 4 inch x 2 inch difference on the playing surface but
I cant fit a 9 foot and my 8 foot brunswick has buckets for pockets

Diamond’s 8-foot tables are 90”X45” which is only 2” shorter and 1” narrower than a true 92”X46” oversized pro 8-foot.
 
If 44"x 88" is considered a regulation 8' table couldn't a Diamond 45"x90" also be considered an oversize 8' table?
 
Ohhh yes. It is oversized...it’s an oversized 8’ #1. Or a Half Oversized 8’.

If it was issued by the army it’d be called Pool Table, 8’, partially oversized.

I like that Diamond gave us this third option. I’m a big fan of Muddy Waters too. I wonder if it was just easier/cheaper to make some table parts if they went with this in betwixt size.
